Have you tried testing any other CGI programs from the cgi-bin directory that you created? Perhaps a simple CGI script that you are familiar with? Generally creating a cgi-bin directory is not sufficient; in most cases additional web server configuration is required in order to enable CGI's. Based on your description, it sounds like the web server might be trying to return the content of the htsearch file as text rather than executing it and returning the results.
