Vbulletin Search with URL not working
 

when i use the following url, it just brings me to the search page and doesn't display any results.

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/search...ery=searchword

Is there something i am missing? does image verification being enabled mess it up? :)

You are probably using a too common word or an invalid one for searching. It works here. You may want to try turning image verification off and seeing if it works.

It was in fact the image verification, didn't even rthink about it at first. Is there a way to search and display forum name results as well as thread results? in other words if a forum name matches the query, it displays the forum?

I don't know what you mean about returning "forum name results". I think the forum name is listed in the right hand column with the thread results.

in other words if a forum name matches the query, it displays the forum? right now it checks the query in the threads, but i'd like to be able to check query across forum names and display matching forums, can it work somehow?

You could write your own query for that - add in do=searchforumname and then query the forum table for results. But, there is nothing in the default vb search to do this.

thanks i'll look into that
