Auto Selecting Search Titles Only in Drop-Down Menu · **Released**: 02-22-2009

This small mod was 'prepared' for huge forums, which have problems with load. After install it, users can search only by Threads' Titles rule in a Drop-Down Menu. Users still can select 'Search Entire Posts' in Advanced Search Menu, of course. This mod decrease load over serveral % and also it doesn't change anything in a search form's appearance.

Open navbar template, search for:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />

Place BEFORE line with childforums:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="titleonly" value="1" />

Open FORUMDISPLAY template, search for:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="forumchoice[]" value="$forumid" />
<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />

Place BEFORE line with forumchoice[]:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="titleonly" value="1" />

Moreover I recommend change default option in Advanced Search (Search Titles Only instead Search Entire Posts). You can do it by (Dismounted's solution):

Open search_forums template

Find:

Code:

<select name="titleonly">
	<option value="0" $titleonlyselected[0]>$vbphrase[search_entire_posts]</option>
	<option value="1" $titleonlyselected[1]>$vbphrase[search_titles_only]</option>
</select>

Replace for:

Code:

<select name="titleonly">
	<option value="0">$vbphrase[search_entire_posts]</option>
	<option value="1" selected="selected">$vbphrase[search_titles_only]</option>
</select>

So I think that screenshots aren't needed

You did something wrong, search should find words only in thread's titles by default after install. It works perfect for me.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
