When I web search for a term that is indexed, the search returns results,
everything is OK. When I web search for a term that is not indexed, I get
an instantaneous 500 error. When I run htsearch from the command line,
for terms indexed, it returns proper results. When I run htsearch from the
command line for terms not indexed, it returns proper results.
Have you modified the nomatch.html file in any way? Have you tried temporarily removing that file or replacing it with trivial content (e.g. opening and closing html/body tags)? How about setting the nothing_found_file attribute to point to some entirely different location? I think the code generally handles problems with this file gracefully, but it might be worth a look since you have already ruled out a lot of other possibilities.
Since you are installing from source, is upgrading to 3.1.6 an option? I don't have any reason to be suspicious of the version you are using, but 3.1.6 is the current official production release. It also addresses a number of security issues.
