This is a quick template mod that roughly emulates the search box here at vB.org, without the forum select dropdown.

I saw a few mods somewhat like it but none with the input box, and like many people here once vB.org released the new skin, I had to have the search box. So after a bit of coding and hacking around, here's the way I did it.

Time to Install: 2 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Template Mods: 1
Demo: http://www.sevenstring.org
Login: guest/guest (unregistered search is disabled)

AdminCP -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> navbar

Find:

Code:
<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
		</if>
	</td>
Add directly after:

Code:
<!-- Search Box -->
<td valign="middle" class="alt1"> <div style="white-space:nowrap">
<form action="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/search.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="showposts" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="text" style="width:100px;" class="bginput" name="query"/>
<input style="font: bold 10px Arial" type="submit" class="button" value="Search" /></form>
<a style="text-decoration:none" href="search.php" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow" id="navbar_search" class=""></a>&nbsp;
</div></td>
<!-- /Search Box -->
Optional: Remove the old search link from your navbar.

Simply comment out the search text, like so. I'm sure there's a better way to accomplish this, but that's how I pull it off on my site. Any input appreciated.

Code:
<!-- $vbphrase[search] -->

And on my own:


Update 1.01

I've changed this to be a bit more useful, as it will now submit the query itself to search.php. I had it setup differently, but I think more people would prefer it this way. If you've already installed, just replace the template code.

Update for 3.7 RC4 or Gold for security token

Add the colored code:

Code:
<!-- Search Box -->
<td valign="middle" class="alt1"> <div style="white-space:nowrap">
<form action="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/search.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="showposts" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="text" style="width:100px;" class="bginput" name="query"/>
<input style="font: bold 10px Arial" type="submit" class="button" value="Search" /></form>
<a style="text-decoration:none" href="search.php" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow" id="navbar_search" 

class=""></a>&nbsp;
</div></td>
<!-- /Search Box -->

In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist.

I get the above.

Did you strip the original search, or just remove the phrase?

If you are running 3.7 RC4 or above, you will need to add the following colored code:

Code:
<!-- Search Box -->
<td valign="middle" class="alt1"> <div style="white-space:nowrap">
<form action="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/search.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="showposts" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="text" style="width:100px;" class="bginput" name="query"/>
<input style="font: bold 10px Arial" type="submit" class="button" value="Search" /></form>
<a style="text-decoration:none" href="search.php" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow" id="navbar_search" 

class=""></a>&nbsp;
</div></td>
<!-- /Search Box -->

Anyone know how to add the pre-search wording in the field? Such as the blank search area would say "Search...." and when someone clicks in the field it erases so they can type in what they want to search for?
