As far as the search plugin, it's not there yet and doesn't exist that I know of. But the jFusion team is actively developing and this very well may be an option in the near future.

Thanks!

Hey Alan, thanks VERY much for your timely post!

I was hoping someone would make an encouraging post like yours!

The bbpixel chap made a great run at the challenge, but I'm sorry to say that there are too many loose ends still.

Namely as to browser compatibility in particular with Safari and Firefox. At least in the testing I've been able to do on it thus far.

RE: Search capability... I'm not concerned about that, as long as the plugins for SEO of Joomla really deliver as promised, and for Site Search, Google can't be beat, imho, so why reinvent the wheel? I hope JFusion will direct its resources not to redoing what somebody else (e.g. Google) is doing EXTREMELY well imho, but rather delivering a completely functional vB to Joomla bridge.

I can hardly wait. C'Mon Santa Clause!

All the best,

This may be a hard one to answer, and of course I'm just asking for an estimate, nothing binding... But what's your sense of how long the product will stay in beta before full release?

I have a site that sorely needs this connection.

Somehow my hunch is I'm not the only one.

I'd actually like to see somebody start a poll on vBulletin.org about how many people are interested in a bridge between vBulletin and Joomla.

Has that poll been done yet?

I'm a noob around here so I defer someone else to do one if it hasn't been done, but I'd sure be happy to cast my vote!
