Combining WordPress and Vanilla search?

Riasvdv

Hey there,

Was wondering if it seems possible / how you would do it to combine the search results of both a Vanilla forum and a WordPress blog into 1 page.

site: Get results from certain sites or domains. For example, you can find all mentions of "olympics" on the NBC website, or any .gov websites.
Examples: olympics site:nbc.com and olympics site:.gov

or maybe http://vanillaforums.org/addon/vanoogle-plugin

or customize sphinxsearch

Linc

My suggestion is definitely a custom Sphinx index, but that's so complicated I've been putting it off for like 3 years.

Hmm.. I'll look into integrating Google search then, Sphinx really does look complicated as hell

here is a plugin.

change line 20 in default.php to reflect your site.

and add this to your default.master.tpl in your theme.

   <div class="SiteSearch">{googlesearch}</div>

if vanoogle plugin doesn't work for you - this might. but vanoogle is pretty slick.
