Hi Hostboard. The file Mike-D attached isn't a plugin, per se. It works only if you have the Template Modification System addon installed. So if you don't have that installed yet, you should try that first! Or you can just use my instructions to do this manually. I promise it's really really simple!

You're welcome, YLP1! Do you mean in the original instructions attached in my OP? Sure, it's in there -- right at the start of the replacement code in Step #3, in the third line or so. You should see:

<!-- Modified Thread Search Layout -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
$announcebits
</tbody>
</table>

(That's only the start of the replacement code, not the whole thing. Cut for brevity's sake!)

Hm, well, except for the prefix filters, these are really just sorting options, not searches exactly. I'm pretty sure you can only sort by one thing at a time.

Basically whatever you can do with the standard vBulletin "Display Options" is available here -- it's just the layout that's changed.
