Symlinks won't matter in this case, if the directory shown above is the
same as apache's ScriptAlias configuration item.. the htsearch looks like
a full blown executable to me. 

Check you have ScriptAlias set to /cgi-bin/ and an appropriate directory
for it (eg, the one where those files above are in it).

Also check you have a <Directory> block with at least the
ExecCGI option set, eg:

 <Directory /real/path/to/cgi-bin>
  Options +ExecCGI
 </Directory>

For vhosts, all of the above has to be in the <VirtualHost> block for the
vhost involved.

Hope that helps. :)
