well, i solved my mystery. i'm running ff with no-script and for the google search function in ecf to work i would need to allow googleapis. this is a deal breaker for me since allowing that substantially increases load time across the board.
New search funtion with new front end

I am not even sure what you mean by doing a Google Search from within the ECF. All I see at the top is "Search ECF" box to type in or the Advanced Search button.
''search ecf'' is being done through google .....
''advanced search'' uses the search function within vbulletin
''advanced search'' uses the search function within vbulletin
This is what the ECF looks like for Me running Kirsch under Win7 / IE9 @ 1024 x 768
The White Box in the Upper R/H Corner is a Google Search Box which searches the ECF. The "Advance Search" below it will take me to the a search of the ECF using VBulletin.
The VBullentin search appears to works Correctly. The Google Search does Not.
Try switching your Skin to Kirsch and give it a try. I'm curious if it is my machine or if others are having the same problem.
Right on Tib.
It may not be the Result you were looking for but finding out why something does what it does is 80% of the Battle sometimes.
I don't know that much about FF to suggest a work-a-round. Maybe someone who is running FF can suggest something.
Ahhh, ok. Thanks for that tip. That is probably the reason why I am no longer using that search function, lol. I did not like the results.
Edit* I am using "forum default" skin. Both ways of searching worked, I just do not like how the Google search function looks cosmetically.

Yeah, this is Confussing enough since people are using Different Platforms, O/S and Browsers.
But then throm in the mix Different ECF Skins, YIKES.
The Kirsch 2 is the only one that did not provide any results. Although the Blackend results did not seem to even pertain to what I was searching for. I would suggest using "use forum default" until they fix it, unless you are going to use the Advanced Search function.
Thanks.
I don't use the Search that much anymore. I can get by using Kirsch-2. I like the Look of it Better. And it doesn't have the Slider Bar at the Bottom of the page like ECF-1 does at my Resolution.
I'm sure the Code Monkeys will get everything straight. I'm not in a Huge Hurry.
Kirsch2 was a testing set-up and will be deleted. There are numerous issues with it.
The good parts of kirsch2 will be integrated into the modifications. The stuff that didn't work out will of course be binned

Cool.
I like the Layout of Kirsch and the Similar Colors.
I tend to use Skins/Themes that Don't have Dramatic Color Differences in them Easier on the Eyes.
