Lost This In 4.x upgrade - Search refresh

[ajmcce]

i had a user defined variable set up in 3.x and the following code was in the head tag for the search results.

<if condition="$action == 'getnew'"><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field7'] != ''">$bbuserinfo[field7]<else />60</if>;URL=http://ForumsADDRESS/search.php?do=getnew"><else /></if>

<if condition="$action == 'getdaily'"><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field7'] != ''">$bbuserinfo[field7]<else />60</if>;URL=http://ForumsADDRESS/search.php?do=getdaily"><else /></if>

This has been working for years. For the life of me I cannot get it working on 4.x

What am i missing? So frustrated :-(
