How do I add the search form from my forum into wordpress

[Coldhands]

Really, the answer doesn't have to do anything with wordpress, I just want to know how to add the search field to a page outside of my forum that will still pass the search query to the forum's search.

Basically I want to add a "search the forum" text field on the main page of my website.

Does anyone have know the proper code to make this work?

Basically you have to include the global.php file and call the right template in your php file and include the <form> for the search to the forum's action script and integrate it in your wordpress theme.
