itsnotabigtruck Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Admins: Could you make the forum search (https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?&act=Search&f=19) and the news search (https://www.neowin.net/search.php) use the GET method for submitting instead of POST? I want to write a Firefox search plugin for both of those. Also, the front page search box (under My Neowin) has been broken since the site went down for a week last year. When you type in a search and press Enter, it goes to the search page (https://www.neowin.net/search.php) instead of the search results page. You have to re-enter your search and press Enter on the search page to get to the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

configure Veteran Posted August 1, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 1, 2004 I already made the plugin for Firefox: https://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=1791...ware&highlight= The forum search is a bit tricky because the current IPB version doesn't support the GET method. I then decided to write a script that would re-submit the form using POST method so bare in mind that because of this, the forum search can be slow.
