Replace search with Google Custom Search

[AdminAdmin is verified member.]

This mod assumes you have an adsense account and are using Google Custom Search.
You want to make sure your results page is named something other than the vb default search.php, this leaves the vb option open to those who click "advanced search"
Open your template navbar
find

<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post" id="navbar_search">

replace with the form line of the google supplied code
example:

<form action="http://www.ahfb2000.com/google.php" id="cse-search-box">

find

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />

replace with the first 3 hidden input types in your google code
example:

    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10" />
    <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />

find

<input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" />

replace with

<input type="text" value="" name="q" class="textbox" />

find

<input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" />

replace with

<input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="sa" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" />

find

</form>

add this after

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script>
