Thanks for this, I actually took and hard coded it into my backup so I never loose it =)

for any vb3 users interested in doing the same (not sure if its the same in vb4)

in includes/adminfunctions_navpanel.php
find:

<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"read_group_prefs(); return false\">$vbphrase[revert_prefs]</a>
		</div>

directly after before the " place (this is still scanu's code only removed comments and added escapes for php):

<br /><input placeholder=\"Search...\" id=\"scanusearch\" type=\"text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px; width: 162px;\" />
<script src=\"//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js\"></script>
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
$('#scanusearch').insertAfter('.navtitle').first();
$('.navtitle').first().remove();
$('#scanusearch').keyup(function(){
  var searchString = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
  var results = [];
  $('.navgroup').slice(1).each(function(){
    var key = $(this).attr('id');
    results[key] = 0;
    $(this).find('.navlink').each(function(){
      var text = $(this).text().toLowerCase();
      if (text.indexOf(searchString) != -1) {
        $(this).show();
        results[key]++;
      } else {
        $(this).hide();
      }
    });
    if (results[key] > 0) {
      $(this).prev('.navtitle').show();
      $(this).show();
    } else {
      $(this).hide();
      $(this).prev('.navtitle').hide();
    }
    if (searchString == '')
    $(this).hide();
  });
  $('.navtitle').each(function(){
    var text = $(this).text().toLowerCase();
    if (text.indexOf(searchString) != -1) {
      $(this).show();
      $(this).next().find('.navlink').show();
    }
  });
});
</script>

no need to import product, or upload any files other than the one you just edited. but still mark scanu's product as installed if you use this method =)
