On my site I have a block I created for an earlier version of vBulletin, that when u added text in the search box it would search my site. Now with vBulletin 3.6 it just takes you to the search screen instead of searching the site.

I use this code:

<center>
$vboptions[bbtitle]
<br />
[COLOR=red]<form method="get" action="search.php">
<input type="text" name="q" size="16"
maxlength="255" value="" />
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>[/COLOR]
<br />
<div class="smallfont">
<a href="search.php">Advanced Search</a>
</div>
</center>

Anybody know what I need to edit in the red highlighted code to make it do a search on the site instead of taking me to the Advanced Search Screen.

Use this code:

<form method="get" action="search.php" name="search">
<input type="text" name="query" size="16" maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="submit" name="__submit__" value="  Search  " />
</form>

Thanks, but it does the same thing again. When you enter some text to search for. Like I just did using your code that I know is on my site to find. Instead of it showing the results. It takes you to the advanced search page instead like before.

Try changing the form to a POST instead of GET.

Not sure what happened then, but this works now. Thanks!

<form method="get" action="search.php" name="search">
<input type="text" name="query" size="16" maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="submit" name="__submit__" value="  Search  " />
</form>
