all you need to do is just insert this code where you want it on the forums main page.

PHP Code:

    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_menu" style="display:none">
        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">$vbphrase[search_forums]</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
            <form action="search.php" method="post">
                <input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
                <input type="hidden" name="showposts" value="0" />
                <input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="20" />$gobutton<br />
            </form>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="4">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></td>
        </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
