I actually had a tutorial on my forum regarding creating a search box for your forum. If you want i can provide a link. Or do you want to work on this free widget thing itself?

Hi Sanket it works well but is this the only way that it will work ? ie it searches through google, I was hoping to get something that would replace the search on my forum which is rubbish, hope you can see what I am saying
?

Thank you Hello

Nopes, that would really require database access.

Also, i do feel using this search engine will cause google bot to come more often to index your page.

Ok msanket I will give it a try and see how the members like it? as for Google coming more often, It seems to be on my forum everyday for for most of the day? I also get MSN too, but still waiting for Yahoo

Thank you Hello
