Hey guys, I found an interesting feature of IE7 and FF2: OpenSearch!
Just by adding one single HTML tag (and an appropriate script), the user is able to search for Torrents from the browser's search box.
Simply add the following code to the header (this one is Wikipedia's)
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="/w/opensearch_desc.php" title="Wikipedia (English)" />
and prepare a script that does the search.
An interesting idea (I don't know the details about OpenSearch) is to set the href value to search.php and inside the, search.php, add a line that recognizes OpenSearch's argument and does the search. Of course the title can be set to the website URL.
Another interesting idea is to make the feature optional (enabled in Admin).
What do you think about it?
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

O.K. i just got around to this one and here is the coding for it
open header.php and find
themeheader();
echo "</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td>\n";
echo '<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="' . $sitename . '" href="'.$siteurl.'/opensearch.php" />';
<?php
require_once("include/config_lite.php");
require_once("include/functions.php");
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>'.$sitename.'</ShortName>
<Description>movies games</Description>
<Url type="text/html" template="'.$siteurl.'/search.php?search={searchTerms}" />
<Tags>movies,games,music</Tags>
<LongName>'.$sitename.'</LongName>
<Image height="16" width="16" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">'.$$siteurl.'/themes/vista/favicon.JPG</Image>
<Developer>joeroberts</Developer>

?>
