So the %1 in RewriteRule reflects the regular expression match in RewriteCond?

Yes, %1 is used to refer to a group in a RewriteCond, while $1 is used to refer to a group in a RewriteRule directive.

And how would I set up my RewriteUrl specifically to map the /search.cgi?... part to /?...

Also, if I wanted this configured as a Redirect instead of a Rewrite, what would change?

To make a Redirect put R=<HTTP Status Code> after the [L]ast rule: i.e.: `RewriteRule %{REQUEST_URI} %{REQUEST_URI}?%1 [L,R=302]`. You can find a complete list of HTTP status codes here: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html (you will have to use ones from the 300-307 range). It is common practice to use either 301 or 302 status codes.
