Hmm, no need to patch anything. Google search works in mandrivauser.de
without any extra configuration or module.
For a test go to http://www.mandrivauser.de/forum:
- You will see a search field in the right hand upper corner
"Googlesuche im Forum"
- Fill in a search wort (ex: "DVB-T") and hit Enter.
- Look at the URLs of the search results.
For the example with "DVB-T" the first search result link is:
http://www.mandrivauser.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=24363
It works out of the box with phpbb3 (provided you did not add some
script that blocks Google scanning the forum!).
