In your Admincp - Styles & Templates - Style Manager - Add a new template called "adv_portal_google".

Insert this code into the template:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Google Search</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">

<!-- Search Google -->
<form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif" 
border="0" alt="Google"></a><br />
<input type="text" name="q" size="20" maxlength="255" value=""><br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="btnG" VALUE="Search">
</form>
<!-- Search Google -->

<br /><br />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br/>

Save the template!

Still in your Admincp - vBa CMPS - Add Module

- Module Title - Google Search
- Module Identifier - Leave blank
- OR Template to Include - google
- Activate and select the column you want it in.
- Save and you are done.

Have Fun,
cLord

BTW - If you change the adv_portal_google template to the code below, it will more closely resemble the adv_portal_search module. See the demo.

<form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vboptions[blockbullet] Google Search</b></span></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2">
			<input name="s" type="hidden" value="" />
			<input name="do" type="hidden" value="process" />
			<input name="sortby" type="hidden" value="lastpost" />
			<input name="forumchoice" type="hidden" value="0" />
			<center><a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif" width="128" height="53" border="0" alt="Google" /></a></center>
			<input class="bginput" name="q" size="13" type="text" />
			<input class="button" type="submit" name="btnG" value="Go"  /><br />
			<span class="smallfont" style="float: left;">&raquo; <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></span>
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>
</form>
<br />

Pukka hack

[NeroTheWarlord]

Nice one, thanks.

[djnth]

would it be hard to modify the SEARCH FORUMS module so that it could be used to search google instead by selecting a checkbox?

[emtee]

Somehow the "open in new page - target="_blank" doesn't work. It searches for the terms in current page, which you probably don't want because you don't want your visitor leave the site. I tried to fix it but still doesn't work. Will post when I have it done.

Okay - I must have been on crack when I posted that. The Advanced Search link is also wrong. My original code above doesn't specify that it should open in a new page (only if you clicked on the Google logo did it spawn a child page).

You can change the <form> tag by including target="_blank", but I think that breaks validation (I don't think target is a valid parameter for <form>). I'll have to look into that. Here is some more streamlined code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat smallfont" style="font-weight: bold;">$vboptions[blockbullet] Google Search</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2">
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank">
 
	<input name="s" type="hidden" value="" />
			<input name="do" type="hidden" value="process" />
			<input name="sortby" type="hidden" value="lastpost" />
			<input name="forumchoice" type="hidden" value="0" />
			<center><a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif" width="128" height="53" border="0" alt="Google" /></a></center>
			<input class="bginput" name="q" size="13" type="text" />
			<input class="button" type="submit" name="btnG" value="Go" /><br />
<span class="smallfont" style="float: left;">&raquo; <a href="http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></span>
</form>
	</td>
	</tr>
</table>
<br />

Oh I put it in the <form> tag and it works. Thanks m8!
