Trial and error is the best way to learn mod rewrite. There are some ok tutorials you can find through Google search, sorry I don't have any bookmarked.

Your .htaccess file is going to look similar to this for those examples your provided.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^view/(.*).htm /index.htm?q=view&id=$1
RewriteRule ^/search/(.*).html ?q=search&search=$1

ErrorDocument  404  /index.htm

If youre using Phpbb you can use this and create an
archive. Seems to work very well

I recently just wrote a good tut on this after doing it myself, it might be worth looking at:
