So I wanted to see if anyone had interesting info on the Kaltix buyout by Google...

Went over to the site search, entered just Kaltix and nada,
tried the same in Google toolbar with site search and lots of finds...

What's up with that?

Brett maybe you can just have us enter our Google api # in the control panel
so you can use the Google search internally without you using up your 1000 hits per day...

All this great info is not so handy without a good working search...

I've mentioned this before but...
Why not just add one yourself?

Control Panel ¦ Edit System Prefs ¦ Custom Code Insert (Top or Bottom)

...and enter something like the following:


<center>
<form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="webmasterworld.com">
<input TYPE="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value>
<input type="submit" name="btnG" value="Google"><input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="webmasterworld.com" checked>
webmasterworld.com <input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value>www
</form>
</center>

...and presto! Your very own Google search form for WebmasterWorld!

I like the "Search Site" function on Google. Anyone figure out a way to exclude the forum categories? For example, /forumXX or /forumXX/pageX.htm? Less noise, the better.
