Nice!

Any way to implement that adsense search? Like the one on phpbb.com?

[HiFiKabin]

Glad you like it.

I 'think' for adsense search you will need to use viewtopic.php?f=456&t=2275361

You could replace MY FORUM with BOARD_URL. No need for manual editing then. BOARD_URL is a template variable already provided by the core.

bad, not optimal place for search.
best place - add google to forum search.

Cheers Martti. After I had uploaded it, I wondered if it would work that way. I'll go and redo it now

... but more difficult to implement. I like going for the easy option every time

[KhurramMunawar]

there should be google logo with the search so that user can identify between google and forum search bars

[HiFiKabin]

Removed the need to edit the file

Update from previous version:

• Download the latest release and unzip it.
• Disable Google Search in the ACP
• Delete googlesearch folder from the server
• Upload the the folder googlesearch to root/ext/hifikabin/
• Enable it in the ACP

Moved Search Box to Breadcrumbs and added Google in the search box. The Ext also now uses default language variables.

maybe have option to replace location of google search at default search instead on breadcrumbs menu

There isn't an event there, so its not an easy option.

Sorry about that
