location = /search.shtml {  
rewrite ^ /search.cgi?$args;  
}

location ~ \[1\]_/[^.]_/[^.]_.html$ {  
rewrite ^/([^.]_)/([^.]_)/([^.]_].html$ /index.cgi?t=$1&c1=$1&p=$3;  
}

smarter way would be by replacing the rewrites with direct fastcgi (or  
proxy) settings

location = /search.shtml {  
proxy\_pass http://backend\_ip/search.cgi;  
}

location ~ ^/([^./]_)/[^./]_/([^./]\*]).html$ {  
proxy\_pass http://backend\_ip/index.cgi?t=$1&c1=$1&p=$2;  
}

or

location ~ ^/([^./]_)/([^./]_)/([^./]\*]).html$ {  
proxy\_pass http://backend\_ip/index.cgi?t=$1&c1=$2&p=$3;  
}

depends on what typo u did.
