Real htm files after rewrite - what to do ?

1)I'm using mod_rewrite in a specific folder (events) that works like that :
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine off
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ search.php?event=$1
Ok, it works for new dynamic files, but in the same folder (events) i have real .htm files that are good indexed by GG... and with the new rules they can't be founded no more ..
What to do ? Some idea ?

2) which rule i need to rewrite the dynamc url like this :
http://www.mwsite.com/events/view.php?type=1&date=13-1-2006
TO
http://www.mwsite.com/events/1-13-1-2006.htm

Thanks for help

 

1: ) put this before the rewriterule line:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

It will prevent rewriting any files that actually exist

 

Thanks, Dejavu, works well..

 

Nobody answer the second question..but i find it ..
here the correct rule :
RewriteRule ^calendar-([0-9]+)-(.*)\.htm$ view.php?type=$1&date=$2
