Looks pretty cool, I'll give this a go as no-one uses my other google search

I don't understand your instructions.

You mention "text in bold" and there is not text in bold.

Do I replace the first block of text you said to search for with the 3rd block you provided?

You said to put the search code in this zone.

</div>
<!-- / header quick search form -->

What does that mean?

Put the google code provided in the first post between this codes

Search this text is original in navbar template"<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></td>
</tr>
</table>"

-->Here the Google code

</div>
<!-- / header quick search form -->


Now replace the text in bold and GREEN color by your data, for example, your domain, your google adsense cliente number, etc.

excuse my broken English, but i hope that the instructions are clear.

I would advise NOT giving others your google code... if someone puts this somewhere that is against the adsense TOU, you may find yourself banned from the program.

Thanks for the advise, i replace my adsense code by a unexisting one.

[Holidazed]

OK, I add the code in the place you tell me to and replace the the places with my own info. Now when I load up the main page of my site, I get the following error:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=7) state=2 in /home2/webbhelp/hidingplace-www/vbb350/index.php(487) : eval()'d code on line 1

[Holidazed]

D'Oh! It was me and my big fat fingers.

I guess the problem WAS the nut behind the wheel!

You know what would be awesome, changing the target to "_self" and having vBulletin do the search -BUT- display the output with vBulletin 3.5x headers and footers.

Does anyone know of an exisiting hack that maybe incorporated to display a non-vb page in this way? I seem to rember something on 2.x but can't find anything that resembles it.
