Search Tag Suggestion

Hi Kirupians,

I was thinking, maybe it would be handy to have a tag that shows the search button which links to the search page, so that members who wish to redirect someone to the search page can just type the tag to show the search button.

Maybe something like :**search: ? Which will then change into [**url=http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/search.php?s=][**img]http://www.kirupaforum.com/images/search_top.gif[/img], resulting in .

Just an idea :slight_smile:

Sounds like a good idea! I’ll consider having something up shortly :beam:

3

Sounds nice :beam:

4

lol, that’s cool :smiley:

5

And while you’re at it, would it be possible to make text links visible somehow all the time, anything really like colorchange, or a dotted underline CSS or whatever…?

6

The colours change in different styles I think … though it would indeed be handy :slight_smile:
Thanks kirupa :slight_smile:

7

Well, in “Orange” there’s no color…

8

oh I’ll fix that also eyes :cyclops:

EDIT: how about now?

[search][/search] Link

oh hehe - I was referring to eyez’s orange color issue. I haven’t touched the search tag issue yet. I’ll do that in a few hours after I finish some of the other work I am working on :slight_smile:

11

I know, I was just posting a link for eyez to check :slight_smile: The search I can see later on :slight_smile:

12

Ok, here it is: [search][/search]You get it by typing [search][/search]

:smiley:

13

Great, thanks kirupa ! =)

14

Cool, both are ok!
kir’ you rule!
When you gonna write “The ultimate Guide to vBulletin mods”?
seriously…?

15

hmm…that does seem like something interesting…not sure hehe. I’m just waiting for vBulletin 3 to be released :slight_smile: Maybe once I get that version configured and hacked, I may provide a guide to anyone interested in getting the forum configured the way this one is.

…a few more months I am guessing :block:

16

vBulletin 3 ? Cool ! Curious what new stuff it’l bring =)

17

so… like… from now on your gonna answer every flash q with “[ search][/ search]”? :beam: :thumb:

18

Lol, you got me :stuck_out_tongue:

No, it’s just that, some people ask questions that has been asked over a billion times, and it’s easier to type [search][**/search] than [**url=http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/search.php?s=][**img]http://www.kirupaforum.com/images/search_top.gif[/img]

Now that second part came to you only after a minute-long thinking cuz that wasn’t there b4! :tb:

so it’s still mainly “You Got Me!” (-:

Lol, you got me again :stuck_out_tongue:

I was wondering whether to post that or not … cause I thought it was kinda obvious that the tags are shorter and handier than the whole code.
