I'd just give up and proxy your search app through apache on port 80/443. Restrictions on port access are pretty widespread. What is the search app on? Tomcat? I've found mod_jk pretty easy to get working, but you can also use mod_proxy. mod_proxy also has specific support for tomcat's protocol (ajp13).
