If it is desirable for winehq.org/appdb/show/verb/term (allows for
appdb.winehq.org/show/vender appdb.winehq.org/show/app
winehq.org/show/catagory) then this works for me:

RewriteEngine On
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /appdb/
#RewriteRule ^app/(.*)$ matchAppByName.php?AppName=$1
RewriteRule ^show/([a-zA-Z]+)/(.*)$ matchByVerbAndTerm.php?verb=$1&term=$2

E.g
appdb.winehq.org/show/vendor/adobe
=> matchByVerbAndTerm.php?verb=vendor&term=adobe

appdb.winehq.org/show/app/adobe-photoshop-cs2
=> matchByVerbAndTerm.php?verb=app&term=adobe-photoshop-cs2
