Google-Search

Hi
with this hack you can get your own google-search from your vbulletin. This hack needs some PEAR-Classes and you need a google-account.

Requirements:
- you need the following PEAR-Classes:
- SOAP (available at http://cvs.php.net)
- Net/Dime (available at http://cvs.php.net)
- SOAP_Google (available at http://www.sebastian-bergmann.de/?page=google)
- Google-Account (free at http://www.google.com/apis/)

installation notes
Make sure that you have the required pear-classes installed. Infos about PEAR are available at http://pear.php.net
If you receive require/include-errors edit websearch.php and add the path to pear.
Edit websearch.php and enter your google-key
Upload websearch.php to your forums-directory
add the 3 templates
create a link to websearch.php where you want

Have fun

edit: If you don?t want getting the pearclasses from cvs, take a look here

get a blank page after submitting the search? read this

want to integrade the google-search into your regular search enginge? look here

It's Hotte's hack, and i'll not do anything without his permission

nuno: feel free to explain the steps how to integrade the google-search into the regular search. it should nothing more than add the actions to search.php + a small template modification
Myself prefer hacks that are as most compatlible to upgrades as possible
