How to call search.php with keywords in URL?

[Areku]

What I want is to be able to do something like Google, so if i type in a URL like

http://www.google.es/search?q=vbulletin

it will pick the keywords from the q= parameter.

Vbulletin seems to take it from some sort of "cache" or table instead.

How can I turn something like

http://www.mydomain.com/forums/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=250152&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=desce nding

to just

http://www.mydomain.com/forums/search.php?q=keywordshere

???

vBulletin caches all search results into a table, making searches extremely fast, if you're trying to find something that has been searched before.

What you're asking can be done, though. You're just using the wrong parameter. ;)

Hmmm seems not to work for me... I'm talking of a v2.3.x vB....

It does bring back the advanced search screen.
