Integration with vBulletin - Search Your Site From Firefox

Everyone knows that little box in the top right of firefox that contains search engines such as google, ask, blah blah.

Well now you can have you're own site searched right from that nifty box, not that anyone ever uses it, but hey atleast you can be cool and have your own, right?
__________________________________________________ ______________
1. Heres how its done, replace SITE with the your site information,to point to your search.php page.

<search
version="7.1"
name="SITE Search"
description="SITE search engine description"
action="http://SITE.com/forums/search.php?do=process&"
searchForm="http://www.SITE.com"
method="GET"
>

<input name="sourceid" value="Mozilla-search">
<input name="showposts=0&quicksearch=1&query" user="">

</search>

Copy and paste that, into a file called yoursitename.src and save it inside Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins

Create a 16x16 pixel icon, give it the same name as your plug-in, and save it as either a .jpg or .png graphics file. Then, put it in the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins folder

Then just share your .src file with your users telling them where to install.

EXAMPLE: to search vB.org. copy and paste this into notepad file, save as vBulletinORG.src under the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins folder

<search
version="7.1"
name="vBulletin.org Search"
description="vBulletin.org Search w000oooh000"
action="http://vbulletin.org/forum/search.php?do=process&"
searchForm="http://www.vbulletin.org"
method="GET"
>

<input name="sourceid" value="Mozilla-search">
<input name="showposts=0&quicksearch=1&query" user="">

</search>

I'll help you out the best i can, so just ask.

Tnx Alfa1 ... it works fine now .

To limit it to one or more areas of your forum, add this:

...&forumchoice[]=15&forumchoice[]=12&...

It works nicely; the only problem I've seen is that if say you have hidden forums & have your browser set to automatically log you into the forum, when searching, it will search as guest even if you should automatically be logged in.

Any workaround for that?
