I think you were trying to mach against URI only so, let me explain something here :

https://example.com/index.php?/discover/

This part index.php is URI , then there is ? and after that is /discover/ , the last part is query string so to match against it you could use QUERY_STRING or THE_REQUEST Server-Variables according to what you need but when using REQUEST_URI you match only against URI part.

Try the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,7}\s/index\.php\?\/(.*)\sHTTP.*$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$  /%1? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule !^index\.php$  /index.php?%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

The code above will redirect https://example.com/index.php?/discover/ to https://example.com/discover/ externally and then redirect it again to same path .

Note: clear browser cache then test it .
