Ummm actually guest can view the searches. :)

But only in those forums you allow guests to view. ;)

What do you mean? Are you saying that results will only display if guests have the permissions to view the forums in which the search results found information?

LOL that was a mouthful...

So if guests cannot view any of the forums, they will be unable to view the last 15 searches?

Exactly! ;)

Try searching for a word that is in a private forum and you will notice that it will not show up to anyone who doesn't have permission to view that forum. As I stated in the first post, this is now FULLY permissions based. ;)

Even better then just that. If a search for a word has for example 5 resulting threads, of which 3 are in public forums, and 2 in privat. It will show to those that have no access to the privat forum, that there are only 3 results. :D

In Marco's example, the Admin, who has access to all forums would see the results as: 5 Threads while the other user who does NOT have access to the private forums would see the results as: 3 Threads. ;)

I tried to do this on the vB 3.0 version but didn't have any luck at it then. Marco's expert coding allowed it to happen for this version now. ;)

No luck involved in coding Boobo. :D

I rely on luck when I code. I have to. I don't have the skills you do. ;)

On RC3, has anyone gotten repeated looping? Like when going to the search page you will see, for example 5 results and 5 tables repeating the same information.. Do a new search, and you will notice 6 seperate tables (with all the correct data) but it keeps creating brand new template tables per search term.. Anyone? :)

All this hack does is read the last 15 rows from the search table. It is very possible to have what looks like duplicates, but are really not, if you search for the same item more than once. It did the same thing in RC 2 and it working as designed. ;)

And don't forget the install button. ;)
