It works in 3.7.2 just fine.
The first part of the installation in #9 is already done for you now because 3.7.2 added Tag Searching.
Add the red code below in your Navbar template:
Code:
<if condition="$show['popups']">
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
<!-- header quick search form -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_menu" style="display:none" align="$stylevar[left]">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[search_forums]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">

<div><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" /><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" tabindex="1004" /></div>
