It would be great if there was a way to automatically allow all usergroups to use the search. I have a ton of usergroups and constantly make new ones and delete old ones. This is just a hassle.

Good idea
I will add that into the next version, and I will probably add it into quite a few of my other hacks as well.
Mosh sorry, i don't understand this hack, cause it does the same thing that does the quick links redirect ... or maybe i'm missing something?
The screenshots show what it is. It is just a link to social groups on the Navbar Search drop down list (not shown as a default option in vBulletin), nothing more, nothing less.
