Thanks for posting the bug report. I tried sticking
PHP Code:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('search_getnew_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;
at line 1115 in search.php but that didn't work. Given how the old search.php is 3761 lines vs 1155 lines in the new search.php, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that didn't work.
I'll look some more in the morning but I think this requires a vb god with much greater knowledge than I have!
