much more userfriendly.. the way you want us to install it is too sloppy imho.. make use of the javascript function

I figured out a nice place to put a link for installing the search engine.

First edit the javascript mentioned above for your site then add a link to it in the headinclude template.
Read the above link and then put this code in the search forums template:


FIND:

<tr>
	<td class="tcat">
		$vbphrase[search_forums]
	</td>
</tr>

ADD AFTER:

<if condition="is_browser('firefox')">
<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
	$vbphrase[searchfromfirefox] <a href="javascript:addEngine('filename','ext','description')">Install the |your site name here| search engine!</a>
	<td>
</tr>
</if>

Replace sitename with the filename of the .src and ext with the extension of the 16x16 graphic used (gif or png) *note, the grahic has to have the same name as the .scr file.

You have to add a phrase in the language and phrases admincp menu. Add the phrase name, "searchfromfirefox", and the phrase text: "Want to search the forums from firefox?"

See it at my site : http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/search.php

I'm working on putting it in the search results as well. Will post update when that is done.
