Hi, suggestion to improve the search feature

[The Man]

Add this:

// aaron's uber-1337 search enhancement hax //

      if (($bbuserinfo[maxposts] != -1) and ($bbuserinfo[maxposts] != 0)) {
				$maxposts = $bbuserinfo[maxposts];
			}
      if (($searchresult[replycount]+1)>$maxposts and $linktopages) {

        $totalpages=($searchresult[replycount]+1)/$maxposts;
        if ($totalpages!=intval($totalpages)) {
          $totalpages=intval($totalpages)+1;
        }

        $acurpage=0;
        $pagenumbers='';
        while ($acurpage++<$totalpages) {
          if ($acurpage==$maxmultipage) {
            eval("\$pagenumbers .= \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_multipagenav_more')."\";");
            break;
          } else {
            eval("\$pagenumbers .= \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_multipagenav_pagenumber')."\";");
          }
        }
        eval("\$searchresult[pagenav] = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_multipagenav')."\";");
      } else {
        $searchresult[pagenav]='';
      }

// aaron's uber-1337 search enhancement hax //

into search.php above this:

	  $frmjmpsel[search] = " selected class=\"fjsel\"";
	  makeforumjump();
      eval ("\$searchresultbits .= \"".gettemplate("$searchtemplatebit")."\";");
    }

Then, you will need to edit the searchresultbit_threadonly template and change this line:

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left"><normalfont>$searchresult[gotonew] $searchresult[typeprefix] $paperclip<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a></normalfont></td>

to this:

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left"><normalfont>$searchresult[gotonew] $searchresult[typeprefix] $paperclip<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a> </normalfont><smallfont>$searchresult[pagenav]</smallfont></td>

This will cause thread-only search results to return page numbers, which is really quite useful for any message board that gets an appreciable amount of traffic. Check http://216.97.98.128/forum/search.php?action=getdaily for an example of this nifty feature in action. It's not really much of a complicated hack, and I think the benefits it returns are bloody well worth it. :P

Note: I just wrote this hack myself. ;)
