search_process_start plugin:

if($vbulletin->options['setting_searchstats_onoff'] AND $_REQUEST['searchstats']!='nocount')

in forumhome_complete plugin code:
replace:

How do I implement this file? Keep getting an "invalid" message when importing - do I need to copy & paste contents somewhere? Also, do you have an example screenshot of what the resulting page will look like with this in place.

Thanks.

I'd like to see this as a sidebar module.

So I can show the searched cloud on my sidebar www.agnosticforums.com

Or just some easy code I could paste into one of the boxes in my side module would be cool.

[Qwest]

Also what about permissions?

If you have this set so guests have to use CAPTCHA to search does this bypass that or do they get an error or something?

It would be possible to user a separate "censor list" only to be used in with this mod? I would like to censor some searches, but i can't censor that words in the whole forum..

Thanks, and it's a great mod!
