by yoyoyoyo
NEW PHRASES: up to 4 (depending on which options you choose)
TEMPLATES TO EDIT: up to 3
NEW TEMPLATE: 1 (if you add the CMPS module)
NEW FILES: 2 (search.cgi, mega.jpg)
This hack gives you a new MEGAsearch engine on your site, that can access dozens or hundreds of other search engines (as many or as few as you want). The search engine opens the results in a new window, keeping your visitors on your site! You can even easily add your own sites to the search!
The search engine can be placed in the navbar, on the search page, below the "Who's Online" box on your forum home, and also in a VBadvanced CMPS module, or all of the above (or any combination you see fit). (SEE SCREENSHOTS)
