Small update to this: the original hack doesn't turn the paperclip image on the search results page into a clickable link the way it does for the one on the forumdisplay. This is easily corrected. Find this around line 970-something in you
search.php file:
PHP Code:
$paperclip="<img src=\"{*imagesfolder*}/paperclip.gif\" alt=\"$searchresult[attach] Attachment(s)\" border=\"0\">";
...and replace it with this...
PHP Code:
$paperclip="<a href=\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]&view=attachments\"><img src=\"{*imagesfolder*}/paperclip.gif\" width=\"10\" height=\"13\" alt=\"$searchresult[attach] Attachment(s)\" border=\"0\" align=\"absmiddle\"></a>";
That should do it.

Take the asterisks out, however, from the
{*imagesfolder*} part -- I had to add them in there, or this forum would process them as vB.org's image folder location.
