While I doubt I'll use this too much, since I like the new search, here's a script I quickly hacked up to add a button next to the search button that will search google for the input text + "site:fimfiction.net", doing effectively the same thing as the search did before the update. The main use for this would be if you want to search for something on the site other than a fanfic, say a blog or a user page.
I shortened it a little and moved the button to inside the search form otherwise it might not work correctly with Controls Freak. Its height was also off by one pixel so I just quickly adjusted that by taking out the i element.
Edit: Also took out the extra arguments from the search url.
Thanks, I've updated the script with your changes. The extra pixel was bugging me anyways, and I originally tried to put it in the search form but was having trouble getting it to take.
I was planning to clean things up a bit later anyways, so this saves me some trouble...
3856847 Yeah, I find that with buttons in the form you have to add the type="button" to it. Otherwise it will just submit the form. That's because the default value for the type property is "submit".
Not sure about that particular error, but it's been broken for a bit. I suppose I should fix it, but knighty implemented most of the reasons I'd made it, so I haven't gotten around to it...
4054171 Well, I've been trying to do new installs on a replacement computer, so I'm just trying to cover myself. If this is no longer needed, though, I won't worry about it.
I mainly had wanted to be able to search blogs, and you can do that now. It would be useful if you were searching for forum posts, but that's about the only thing that I can think of offhand to do with it...

Might I suggest some changes?

Not gonna lie: there have been times when such a function would have been useful to me.
But I may be a rare exception, I don't know...
