   Right above your question is the line "GoogleTM Custom Search ..... Search".

   At least that's what I see using Mozilla Firefox.

   Google Chrome

   I see it in Safari. I could see it in Firefox before that quit working. I can't see in in Chrome, but I think I've got ads blocked on that, so that may have something to do with it.

   I have Flashblock running on my Mozilla install, and I have no trouble with the search bar. 

   Internet Exploder displays a truncated version of the bar, and it doesn't do anything when you press "Search".  But then I never use Exploder except for "odd" pages. 

   I don't have any other browsers installed at present.

   Of course, you don't really need the built-in search function.  Open a Google screen, type in your query, and add "site:forums.finehomebuilding.com" (without the quotes).  That's (almost) exactly what the "Search" function does under the covers.

   adding "site:forums.finehomebuilding.com" to Google search

   I had also searched in vain for a forum search button. Your solution to add "site:forums.finehomebuilding.com" to a Google search works great. Thank you for taking the time to post this workaround.

   I had too many things blocked to see it myself, adblock plus and no script needed a couple changes.  I just use google site search if I am searching for anything here, but that's pretty rare anymore.

   Hey guys!

   You are right, no email notifications. Using chrome so no google search showing up. I used to love this forum but it does not work nearly as good as it did years ago. The help found here is definately unmatched. wish it worked a little less clumsy.
