Teck, thanks for the time you have taken to reply to my question.
I have looked at adminfunctions.php and I already have installed your adminstats hack (I thought you would have recognised the code I posted above actually).
And the code above is what I came up with.
The only problem is that it appears to do the search, but doesnt display the actual template I was searching for
I assume there is just a simple error with the code, hence why I asked here for some assistance.
