The extension is important with your current configuration because Apache needs a way to know that the file is supposed to be executed rather than sent to the client making the request. The AddHandler lines tell Apache to treat files with .cgi and .pl extensions as CGIs and files with .shtml and .html extensions as server parsed. Other files (other extensions, or no extension) cause Apache to default to a simple download. If you want htsearch to be treated as a CGI without adding an extension, you should setup a CGI directory and specify it in the Apache configuration using the ScriptAlias directive. The ScriptAlias will cause everything in the specified directory to be treated as a CGI by default.
