Hi Melinda,
In a word, you don't.
The templates themselves don't process any code, and the filenames are hard coded, so they need to stay the same.
However, you can set published files to have a different file extension by going into the Setup Options and changing the "Publish file extension" under Publish Settings. This will set any static file to be created with whatever file extension you set.
The catch here is that dynamic files already have a file extension, which is .cgi. That can't be changed, as Listings Manager is a CGI script that has to run whenever it runs a search. So, this means that you can't have SSI code on the search results page, or the dynamically generated search query page.
There's no way to get around the results page, but for the query page you can simply create a static page elsewhere with the Listings Manager form code on it. Just make sure that your <form> tag is something like this:
<form method=get action="/path/to/search.cgi">
...where the /path/to is the correct path to the search program.
Just about everything else can be copied & pasted from the _search_query.html template.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. :)
