Boolean Search as Default in Advanced Search Options
[Should work in all vB 3.5.x versions.]

All Thanks to Jake Bunce, vBulletin Team

Context: I found that Boolean search option returns much more accurate and relevant results as compared to natural search option, which returns so many irrelevant results in comparison to boolean. So, i wanted to set the Boolean Search as default option while doing Advanced Search.

Remove the red code:

Code:

                <div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
                    $vbphrase[search_type]
                    <label for="rb_searchtype_0"><input type="radio" name="searchtype" value="0" id="rb_searchtype_0"  $searchtypechecked[0] />$vbphrase[natural_language]</label>
                    <label for="rb_searchtype_1"><input type="radio" name="searchtype" value="1" id="rb_searchtype_1"  $searchtypechecked[1] />$vbphrase[boolean]</label>
                </div>

Add the red code:

Code:

                <div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
                    $vbphrase[search_type]
                    <label for="rb_searchtype_0"><input type="radio" name="searchtype" value="0" id="rb_searchtype_0" />$vbphrase[natural_language]</label>
                    <label for="rb_searchtype_1"><input type="radio" name="searchtype" value="1" id="rb_searchtype_1"  checked="checked" />$vbphrase[boolean]</label>
                </div>
