I have been trying to modify the Search.asp so that I can search by Topic_ID, but I keep failing to get it working. I was able to modify the forum.asp to show the TOPIC_ID so that user can use that ID as a ticket number. With that ticket number, they can use that number instead of the keywords. Any help is appreciated.
I am actually editing the search_form_enhancem-34-0004a.zip version, but just renamed it to Search.asp. However I don't think that would really matter.

In the forum.asp
Search for code below , which is around line 595 for mine. Yours may be different.
Response.Write "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ valign=""middle"" align=""left"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """>"
if Topic_Sticky and strStickyTopic = "1" then Response.Write("Answered: ")
Response.Write "<span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""topic.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & """>" & ChkString(Topic_Subject,"title") & "</a></span> </font>" & vbNewLine
if strShowPaging = "1" then
Call TopicPaging()
end if
Add the following code below right on top of the code above
Response.Write "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ valign=""middle"" align=""center"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """>"
Response.Write "<span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""topic.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & """>" & ChkString(Topic_ID,"topicID") & "</a></span> </font>" & vbNewLine

This is pretty cool. I've been trying to do something similar, and could not figure out what to do. Thanks.

Would it be something like this for the form?
<form action="topic.asp" method="get">
<input name="TOPIC_ID" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>< |

Doing it this way, the form will submit to topic.asp with TOPIC_ID in the querystring, no need for an additional handler to process the form and redirect to the appropriate topic.
Good suggestion.< |

No, not much. You'd need to add code to display the form and to handle form submission.< |

Hmmm... how much of a coding will this little form take, since I am not a programmer. Will the textbox on the header act as a topic search field?? I can try to go online and get some help tutorials on creating this form.< |

It could even be a small form, probably easier to do...< |
