I made a Firefox search plugin for searching these forums. But it will also be an example for a howto on making one for your own PunBB powered forums.
The search options it uses now are: Keywords and listing by Topics
Get the plugin HERE.
(The howto with commented example will be ready in a day or so. For now there is a rough version of the commented example linked on the same page as above.)
Cool! It appears to work just fine.
While we're on the subject. Does anyone know if it is possible to switch between the different searches in the "search bar" without using the mouse? ctrl+e focuses the field, but I hate having to stretch for my mouse every time I need to search in something else than Google.

I believe it would be Ctrl/Cmd + Down (or Up) arrows. . .

Ctrl+K then Ctrl+Down or Up
Hmmm that works as well. I am on Windoze at the momment and Ctrl+e also focuses to the search bar, as Rickard pointed out. But I do not see that listed on the shortcuts page. . .
I guess he found the alternative shortcut. Or notice under Linux it is Ctrl+J. . .
Google.com/firefox told me about ctrl+k 
Google.com/firefox told me about ctrl+k
Yes, it seems Google has its eye (and $$$) on Firefox/Mozilla Foundation:

cookiepuss: Thanks a bunch. Ctrl + up/down works great.
