How Do I Do A Custom Search?

[theothersully]

Hey everyone,

I recently put together a search in the header to return all the posts from the past 7 days. My users love it.

I just changed the search to say: do=getdaily&days=7 in the header template. Easy and cool.

Now, they want to return all posts like the do=getdaily&days=7, except for from my Off Topic area. How would you modify this search to return stuff as normal, but *excluding* a particular section of the board?

Thanks!
