How can I add a search widget to my vb 4 cms?

OK, well, it basically works but there's problems with the formatting and I'm not really big on CSS. I had to take out some of the classes to get it to look right, and I had to change the submit button to a standard button because for some reason the image wouldn't show up (even though it showed exactly the same path as the one in the navbar ). Anyway, I created a new template named search_widget with this code:

	<div id="globalsearch_widget">
		<form action="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=process" method="post" id="search_widget">
			<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
			<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
			<span class="textboxcontainer"><span><input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" tabindex="99"/></span></span>
<span class="buttoncontainer"><span><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" tabindex="100"/></span></span>
		</form>
		<a href="search.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="4">{vb:rawphrase advanced_search}</a>
	</div>

and then created a new "php direct execution" widget, and in the configuration I inserted this (replace the code that's already there)

$templater = vB_Template::create('search_widget');
$output = $templater->render();

and I set the cache refresh time to 0 (you could probably set it to something high so it doesn't refresh since it never changes, but then when you want to work on it it's annoying). Also, naming the template search_widget makes it go inside the "Search Templates" group in the style manager template list, so if you don't want that you could name it something else (and change it in the php code as well).

Anyway, it's not just like the navbar so I realize it's not exactly what you wanted, but maybe you can figure out the formatting.
