Nifty idea.

Is there a way to make it so that one search box pulls up both the Google results and your own site's results?

Hmm... I figured it out how to place the Google Search bar like Throtex did in his preview picture.

IN NAVBAR FIND:

Code:

      <tr>

        <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"><label for="rb_nb_sp0">

          <input type="radio" name="showposts" value="0" id="rb_nb_sp0" tabindex="1002" checked="checked" />

          $vbphrase[show_threads]</label>

          &nbsp;

          <label for="rb_nb_sp1">

          <input type="radio" name="showposts" value="1" id="rb_nb_sp1" tabindex="1003" />

          $vbphrase[show_posts]</label>

        </td>

ADD BELOW:

Code:

      <tr>

        <td class="vbmenu_option">



<!-- GOOGLE CODE GOES HERE -->



      </td>

      </tr>

FINISH AND CLOSE.

Dunno if this is too simple to post, but just figured someone might ask eventually.

BTW - I code in Dreamweaver cause I'm a noob and like the code formatting feature and syntax highlighting, so my 'FIND' coding might be off. If anyone wants to tell me what the original code and spacing for the navbar was, I'd be glad to change my post.

Hakaslak - None of that coding is in my navbar. It must be the mod you installed for the google search feature itself.

Actually, if you do a Search in Templates for "search_menu" you'll see four templates. You'll want to modify FORUMDISPLAY, navbar and SHOWTHREAD to get all three relevant search boxes. Find the area with the popup DIV, copy the rows for the existing search form within it, and add another one directly below that's customized for the Google script.

You can make something like I have done at http://www.volconvo.com

Ok. What's the point of having the search results in a vb page? If they click on any of the links they are outa there!

That IS a good point... kinda counter intuitive...

Not really any point I suppose ... though the ads that show up in the search results count for your AdSense payments. Plus you get one more bite at the apple to keep people on your site ... otherwise you'd send them directly to Google as soon as they run the search.

I just think it looks nice. :) I think this is a fairly recent offering by Google, so maybe more will be possible eventually. And of course, people are free to extend this in other ways.

I deliberately didn't add that because there are a number of other threads here on how to do that -- plus you guys figured it out anyway. ;) I just wanted to get straight to the meat of my product. :)

Ahhh..

Well, I guess if they use the Google box, it's etter them them heading straight to Google.

My only concern is how to make sure they dont confuse the Google ebox for the real search box. >_<
