This way vBulletin does not find a valid searchhash and performs a new search.

Brilliant and very amusing.

I think I'll stick with file edits though, I'm comfortable with them and can upgrade even my heavily modded board in less than 30 minutes with all hacks migrated... a short enough time for me to care about, and at least I have no plugin overhead.

Hey... have you published your private hack to prevent pulling in plugins all the time? You have one don't you? (imagines it writes .php files out during plugin installs and just puts include statements into the hooks)
