A Google search box with "site:firesofheavenguild.org" preloaded?

Here's my suggestion of the month:

Could we get a little google search box at the top that automatically searches the domain like when you do a "site:firesofheavenguild.org" in google?

My reasoning is this: a forum search rarley finds what I want, and hasn't been very useful. A google site search has been very useful and finds things alot easier and faster.

Just an idea.

Didn't the forums used to have google site: search as an option? Back before the vB3 and SEO upgrades maybe... or I could be losing my mind again.

Anyway, this seems like a no-brainer to me. vBulletin has never had a particularly good search engine, especially the <4 character limitation. Google Custom Search is simple to set up and Requiem can integrate it with his adsense account to [potentially] increase ad revenue.

They did, before the block. It's still on the foh-specific forumspy. I removed it because I figured the block was big enough already, but if people actually want to use it I can put it back.

Unzip the attachment into:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<8 random chars>.default\searchplugins

and restart Firefox.


Hell that's good enough for me. Took me a while to figure out where to put that file on a Mac, but I got it. Awesome, thanks.

Ok, I made it even simpler to install so that people on Macs/Linux can use it. You don't even have to restart Firefox now.
