Try this:

location /search/web {
  rewrite ^ /search/web?$args?;
}

There's room for improvement above. You have rules that are repeated,
it just changes the second pattern. E.g.,

> rewrite /(.*)(maps\/)(.*)$ /$2$3 last;
> rewrite /(.*)(test\/)(.*)$ /$2$3 last;
> rewrite /(.*)(install\/)(.*)$ /$2$3 last;
> rewrite /(.*)(addon\/)(.*)$ /$2$3 last;
> rewrite /(.*)(cron\/)(.*)$ /$2$3 last; 

Can be placed in a single rule:

rewrite /(.*)((maps|test|install|addon|cron)\/)(.*)$ /$2$3 last;

This is just the condition, what's the rule?

if ($request_uri != index.php) {
   (...)
}

Note that an if is in fact an implicit location, so the only safe
thing to do inside is to return a status code or a rewrite with the
'last' flag. Cf. http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil
