All of this is in productforums.php

First you'll have to add the mfrg to the input variables accepted around line 63 replace:

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
        'catid'             => TYPE_INT,
        'title'             => TYPE_STR,
        'productid'     => TYPE_UINT,
        'min_price'     => TYPE_INT,
        'max_price'     => TYPE_INT,
        'min_rating'     => TYPE_UINT,
        'max_rating'     => TYPE_UINT,
        'posted'             => TYPE_UINT,
        'mfrg'                 => TYPE_STR
    ));

Next we have to search the database using a LIKE so we get some degree of fuzzy matching around 99 add:

if($vbulletin->GPC['mfrg']){ $conditions .= " AND pfp.mfrg LIKE '%". mysql_real_escape_string($vbulletin->GPC['mfrg']) ."%'"; } // mfrg of product

And then we have to be sure the variable persists from page to page line 164 add:

$sortaddon .= ($vbulletin->GPC['mfrg']) ? 'mfrg=' . $vbulletin->GPC['mfrg'] . '&' : '';

You'll have to edit the template to add a new form field, name of mfrg

Of course it would be more ideal to generate a list of manufacturers and let people pick via dropdown. Next update can do that.
