Description
Ah, Cool Running. You cheap, cheap bastards, unable to afford a decent server. I wrote this script, which adds a "Google Search" on the Cool Running.com pages. around the time they permanently turned off search functionality. If you're in a particular forum, the search results will be restricted to that forum; otherwise the search will be restricted to the Cool Running site. I couldn't figure out how to restrict a search to a particular topic, so the script doesn't do that. Since Active.com has purchased Cool Running, this script will probably be worthless in a few weeks (but hey, at least I got a lot of use out of it).
