When we migrated from phpbb2 to phpbb3 I had to index all the posts so that they could be found by the search button. I didn't realize it at the time, but the routine missed a bunch of posts. I don't want to take the forum down for a week to reindex all the posts. So I decided the best thing to do is add a google custom search button.
So that's the reason for the new search button up there in the menu. And not only does it search thru all posts, it'll also search for pictures.
Hope you like it!
