[httpd 2.2.3][conf] regular expression problem in <LocateMatch>

Dear All,

I need <LocateMatch "<my expression here>" to match an url of the
following form:

/faq/index.php?faq_name=Staff&category=0

To do that I tried with the following expressions:

"/faq/.*faq_name.*"
"/faq/.*?faq_name.*"
"/faq/*faq_name*"

Non of them seem to work. And I've tried dozens of other little hacks.
Basically I need a non-greedy match of anything before a particular word.

What am I doing wrong? What's the best source for the allowed syntax in
httpd.conf?

Thanks in advance

Thorsten, Dezide

You're trying to match a part of the URL that comes after the "?". That part
of the URL does not form part of the location, but is part of the parameters
passed to whatever handles the request.

That should be <LocationMatch> of course.
