Hi:

Number one I think this whole project rocks - one of the nicest - cleanest easy to work on or modify forums anywhere!!

Second - I thru a little multi search engine add-on in mine and it fits nice and easy install takes seconds>

How often you been on a board and seen something you want to check out further with google or your favorite engine.  Means you have to to go google or another open a new window search etc !!

This puts it on your board with no wasted space.

Check it out on my board - PLEASE realize site is work in progress and I haven't finished the boards as I am just to heavy into code at the moment!!

http://www.u-1.ca/u1forum/index.php

anyways the code is :

   <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function validate() {
stv=searchform.txtCriterium.value;
if (stv=='') {
alert('A word or phrase to search for must be placed in the empty box. Please try again.');
event.returnValue=false;
}
}
</script>

           
           <form method="get" action="" name="searchform" id="searchform" onsubmit="javascript:return false;">
             <TABLE width="90%"  align="center" border="0" cellPadding="0" cellSpacing="0" bgColor="#AFC6DB">
                              <tr>
                 <TD width="91%" height="40"  valign="middle" align="center"><B><FONT face=Arial size="2">Search
                       With  </font></B>
                   <select style="width:120px;" id="selEngine">
                     <option value=" http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q= ">Google</option>
                     <option value=" http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?ei=UTF-8&p= ">Yahoo</option>

                     <option value=" http://www.hotbot.com/default.asp?prov=Inktomi&ps=&loc=searchbox&tab=web&query= ">Hotbot</option>
                   </select>
                   <B><FONT face=Arial size=2>  For</FONT></B>  
                   <input type="text" style="width:300px;" id="txtCriterium" name="txtCriterium" >
   
                   <input type="button" value="Go" onclick="javascript:validate();if(this.form.txtCriterium.value.length<1){return false;} for(var i=0;i<this.form.selEngine.options.length;i++){if(this.form.selEngine.options.selected){void(window.open(this.form.selEngine.options.value+this.form.txtCriterium.value,'_blank'))}};" >
                 </TD>
               </TR>
             </TABLE>
           </form>

Just throw it in anywhere you want set the table  height
