Tweak Quick Search

[hobbes51]

I have one section of my forum that is the recyclying bin for dead links.. I was wondering if anyone knew a way that I could modify the quick search feature so that it excluded the recycling bin from the default search... and would only search through relevant forums.

thanks

I found a website that gave some details close to a solution:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172811).

said to do this basically,

add : &exclude=FORUMID_TO_EXCLUDE to your search url. Eg.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php?do=getdaily&exclude=106
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=106

but how would i edit the quicksearch (which calls the search function to do this?)

here is the code I think i have to edit:

<td id="navbar_search" class="nav_menu_control"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a> <if condition="$show['quicksearch']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search"); </script></if></td>
