Now you can add a handy customized search to your board, or in fact any site, using boardtracker search engine.

Search results will show your logo and users can search just your own board or do a global board search.

Even better though you can include your own google adsense id so you make money from highly targeted ads displayed around the results!

Here is how it looks:


Here's an example search customized for fotopages.

All you need to do is paste some simple html code on any page which will show a search box and then your visitors can access a great search engine directly from your site and you make money if they click any of the google ads.

Here's the html code used for the fotopages search..

Code:
<FORM ID=SEARCH_FORM_THREAD NAME=SEARCH_FORM_THREAD ACTION="http://www.boardtracker.com/search_custom/">
<TABLE CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
    <TR>
        <TD ROWSPAN=2 ALIGN=LEFT><IMG SRC="http://www.boardtracker.com/images/label_small.png"></TD>
        <TD ALIGN=LEFT>&nbsp;&nbsp;<INPUT NAME="search" VALUE="" STYLE="width:200px" onChange="javascript:this.value=this.value.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/g,'').replace(/\s+/g, ' ').toLowerCase();"></INPUT>&nbsp;&nbsp;<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT ID=SEARCH_FORM VALUE="Search Threads"></TD>
    </TR>
    <INPUT NAME=page VALUE="1" TYPE=HIDDEN>
    <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=order>
    <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=scope>
    <TR>
        <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="sitelimit" VALUE="fotopages.com"></INPUT>
        <TD ALIGN=LEFT>&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT SIZE=-1><INPUT TYPE=RADIO ID="Limited" NAME="islimit" VALUE="1" checked></INPUT>fotopages.com &nbsp;&nbsp;<INPUT TYPE=RADIO ID="UnLimited" NAME="islimit" VALUE="0" ></INPUT>All boards</FONT></TD>
    </TR>
</TABLE>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="client" VALUE="pub-1262156066908756"></INPUT>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="channel" VALUE=""></INPUT>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="logo" VALUE="http://www.fotopages.com/images/logo.gif"></INPUT>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="css" VALUE=""></INPUT>
</FORM>


To use this on your own site just change the domain in "sitelimit", logo url in "logo", adsense id in "client", and adsense channel id in "channel". Of course to show results from your own board it needs to be indexed by boardtracker so make sure to submit your board if it isn't!

Cool
