Search The Internet v1.0 (Major Engines) · **Released**: 08-09-2002

Search The Internet Hack - (Copyright 2002+), tHE DSS
V1.0 (10th August 2002)

Additional code (enhanced by tHE DSS) used from Freddie's Quick Stats Hack at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37193

As with anything of this nature, I will not be held responsible for any damage that may be caused during installation of this hack, or in the future during usage of this hack. Although steps have been taken to ensure a smooth installation, and smooth usage, you install and use this hack entirely at your own risk.

This hack gives your visitors an excellent quick and easy way of finding information on the Internet, without having to leave your site.

5 search engines are included at the moment (google, yahoo, alta vista, excite & lycos). A search "bar" is present on every page on your forum site, in the footer by default - your visitors simply type in a search, select the engine to search on (from a drop down box), and that's that.

A new window will open up, with the seach results displayed.

It gets even better, because this hack can optionally keep search logs on who is searching what from where, and when. A great help for webmasters interested in their visitors wants and needs.

Webmasters can quickly track down information from the search logs via the vB AdminCP. In-fact, webmasters can control the logs completely, from the AdminCP.

It gets better yet, as this hack is so easy to install.

I will no doubt be adding features to this hack as and when I get a spare half hour - the "upgrades" will simply entail uploading a replacement file (no vB scripts will need replacing).

Cheers.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
