Search Thread - by Erwin Loh
-----------------------------

This hack will add a "Search This Thread" search box at the bottom of threads (similar to the "Search This Forum" search box at the bottom of Forum Display).

Should be useful for loooooooooooooong threads, especially for a forum like this one.

Demo
-------

This hack is installed here at vB.org - just use the Search This Thread box at the bottom right hand corner of this page.

Features
-----------

1. Only posts from the thread will be searched.
2. Uses that standard searchindex table.
3. Uses the same vB search algorithms.
4. This will add NO extra queries to your forum.
5. Uses the standard search and forum permissions set by you.

Installation
------------

1. Running 1 database query
2. Making 2 changes to showthread.php
3. Making 6 changes to search.php
4. Making 1 change to template "showthread"
5. Adding a new template "showthread_searchthread"

Enjoy!

Please click install if you want updates to this hack!

I've updated the installation text file to make things clearer, and made the search box visible to guests as well.

Brilliant hack, I'll install in a few hours, 'tis 3am and I'm likely to blow up my forums :-/

Anyway, I've wanted this at vb.org for a while now, for easier searching, I will definitely install this on my forum.

Question: Does it use the same searchindex as the one that comes standard with vB?

Cool hack Erwin! I was actually wondering if a hack like this existed after searching for something in a 100+ page thread on my site!

Cheers!
