Navbar Search Form/Input Box with Advanced Options Dropdown
Developer Last Online: May 2013 
This is a quick template mod that roughly emulates the search box here at vB.org, without the forum select dropdown.
I saw a few mods somewhat like it but none with the input box, and like many people here once vB.org released the new skin, I had to have the search box. So after a bit of coding and hacking around, here's the way I did it. Time to Install: 2 Minutes Difficulty: Easy Template Mods: 1 Demo: http://www.sevenstring.org Login: guest/guest (unregistered search is disabled) AdminCP -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> navbar Find:
Add directly after:
Optional: Remove the old search link from your navbar. Simply comment out the search text, like so. I'm sure there's a better way to accomplish this, but that's how I pull it off on my site. Any input appreciated.
Screenshot on default style:  And on my own:  Update 1.01 I've changed this to be a bit more useful, as it will now submit the query itself to search.php. I had it setup differently, but I think more people would prefer it this way. If you've already installed, just replace the template code. Update for 3.7 RC4 or Gold for security token Add the colored code:

Thanks, working on my board.
Question though! Instructions for removing the old Search link from the navbar? Every time I try it removes the drop down arrow from your hack. No members have liked this post.

Hm, I haven't looked into that because I prefer to keep the old link as well. I'll take a peek at it tomorrow and see what I can come up with, if someone else doesn't get it first.
 Edit: Actually, though probably not the cleanest way to do it, just comment out the existing search text.
It'll remove the text, and there will just be a blank, zero sized table cell in it's place.

In case you ever move your forums, or whatever... it uses a variable to get the url of the search page instead of hard coding... just better coding, that's all.

In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist.

Did you strip the original search, or just remove the phrase?

Anyone know how to add the pre-search wording in the field? Such as the blank search area would say "Search...." and when someone clicks in the field it erases so they can type in what they want to search for?
