Thanks, freddie; I was starting to get the feeling that there was a misunderstanding here somewhere, and you just confirmed where it was!

eva2000, what I was looking for was this. The way vB is by default, whenever you click on the Search button, you get a screen that has a box to type in some keywords to search for, a username to search for posts by, a time period to search for posts during, etc. Also, you can pick what forum to search in. By default, this last thing is always set to search in all forums. It is always set to search all forums, no matter where you were when you clicked on the Search button.

In UBB, if you are in a particular forum, let's call it General, if you click on the Search button while in that forum, the box that lets you pick which forum to search in is already pre-set to General. Of course, you can still change it to any forum you want, it's just that it's preset to whatever forum you were in when you clicked the button.

This is what I'm asking if someone could make for vB. I understand freddie wants to wait, but if anyone else wants to take this on now, why that'd be good too!

Actually, I have an idea for an improvement. Instead of just being able to select one forum to search in from a drop-box, maybe it could be changed so that it is a list of your forums with check-boxes, and you can check the forums you want, more than one if you want. And the search would search in the forums you've selected. That'd be way cool!
