[a-zA-Z0-9]*\.(htm|html)\#[a-zA-Z0-9]*$

With the "\#[a-zA-Z0-9]*" part you are requiring the #, followed by 0
or more letters and/or digits.
Change that to "(\#[a-zA-Z0-9]+)?" to specify optionally a # followed
by one or more letters/digits. So: either no search part OR at least
one character after the #.
