Getting member search to work in a sidebar on all pages

[John Diver]

Hey,

I am trying to get the member search function to work in a side bar on all pages to let my users search for other members by custom profile fields.

This is the member search code

<form action="memberlist.php?do=getall" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="getall" />

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[members_list] - $vbphrase[advanced_search]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
	<div class="panel">
		<div style="width:$stylevar[formwidth]" align="$stylevar[left]">
		
			<div style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
				$vbphrase[fields_on_form_optional]
			</div>
			
			<div class="fieldset">
				$vbphrase[username]
				<div id="userfield"><input type="text" class="bginput" id="userfield_txt" size="50" name="ausername" value="" /></div>
				<if condition="$show['popups']">
					<div id="userfield_menu" class="vbmenu_popup" style="display:none"></div>
					<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_namesugg.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
					<script type="text/javascript">
					<!--
					vbmenu_register('userfield', true);
					snc = new vB_AJAX_NameSuggest('snc', 'userfield_txt', 'userfield');
					//-->
					</script>
				</if>
			</div>

					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>

						<input type="text" class="bginput" size="25" name="pp" value="$vboptions[memberlistperpage]" />
					</td>
				</tr>
				</table>
			</fieldset>
			
		</div>
	</div>
	
	<div style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px">
		<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[search_now]" accesskey="s" />
		<input type="reset" class="button" value="$vbphrase[reset_fields]" />
	</div>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>

I have the normal search on the sidebar but not sure how the member search will work.

Thanks a lot
