Script Details
File Name: twop_google.user.js
Description
TWoP is yet another site that has a defective search. This script adds a Google Search next to the existing search forms on the forum pages. I recently figured out how to restrict searches to a topic, so now searching from the Google Search on a topic page will restrict results to that topic. Searches on other pages will be restricted to the TWoP forums. As of right now, I'm not sure how to restrict searches to a subforum.

// DESCRIPTION
//
// Adds a Google search to the "showTopic" and "showForum" pages at Television
// Without PIty. The Google search is added immediately before the native TWoP
// search form.
//
// If searching from the topic pages, searches are performed within that topic.
// On any other page, searches are performed per site; I currently am not sure
// how to restrict searches to a forum/subforum.
