Directory search mod to search other SEs

    I may be imagining it, but I'm sure I read a thread with mods for biz-directory to add functionality to the search results page - namely to search other search engines (google, msn, yahoo etc) for the search term you've just used in the directory search.

    Starting to go crazy searching the forum for this - can anyone point me to it?

    You could try something like this:

    <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=<? echo $q ?>">Search Google for <? echo $q ?></a>

    hmm, looks simple! Thanks.

    I'm sure what I saw was more complicated than that but I could have dreamed it up.

    Anyone seen this on the forum?

    dvduval, you know I think that is what I've seen before - I was looking in the wrong forum!

    Too much code in too many forums...
