Default Link to a specific search criteria

How would i be able to link to a specific search

Example, say i had a TV Progs forum and i had a new page with a list of the most popular tv programmes and i a user was to click one of the programme titles it would retrieve all entries of that prog from a specific website.

Something like search.php?do=TV_Prog+Forum

Thanks in advance

If you look at the Forums page here and click on a link to get all threads in that forum, you'll see this url:
Code:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?do=getdaily&forumid=1&childforums=1&saveprefs=false
You can figure out what to use by looking at the code in the search.php page. All the variables you may use are defined in the appropriate section for your search.

Thanks for your help Lynne, dont know why i didnt think of looking in search.php.
Anyway i still cant get it to search a specific forum for specific text.

I tried this in several different orders..

/search.php?do=process&titleonly=1&forumid=18&child forums=1&saveprefs=false&query =lost

The Text is 'Lost' to be searched in forum id 18

This results in a site wide search for 'Lost'.

Any further tips?

Looking at search.php leads me to believe you should use forumchoice[] instead of forumid like the example I had shown you. The example was for do=getdaily and it uses different variable names than do=process (for some unknown reason).

did you try forumchoice or forumchoice[] (like I wrote)? There is a difference.
