De.scription and Message

Hi Guys, google is pissing me off. When i type in key words 'irish paintball' for my site, it shows up miles and miles down. But when i do the same in yahoo, its first up.

So i want to start using yahoo search now more. In the search portal block, how does one configure the search to use yahoo instead of google?

Cheers!

I would think editting the search_block.tpl files in each template.

root/templates/each template/blocks

<script>
<function>
</script>
<form>
<table>
<tr>
<td><input></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><select>
<option>{L_FORUM_OPTION}</option>
<option>Google</option>
</select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br><input></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<a>{L_ADVANCED_SEARCH}</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input>
<input>
</form>

I think changing the googles to yahoo may work, but someone wiser would know better.

I tried it, but you need the proper URL format for yahoo search.

Yes, I investigated this myself... even going so far as to downloading a yahoo search block for phpnuke in hopes of seeing something in the code that might help me. No dice.

I don't know.
