I'm not saying that hook_search does not work. I'm saying that the api documentation for hook_search, what I tried to use in order to learn how to use hook_search, is incorrect. I have documented what I found here: http://drupal.org/node/271392 * node_access_join_sql() and node_access_where_sql() no longer exist * AND not necessary in $join sql statement * check_outputdeprecated since Drupal 4.7. And, the code, even when fixed, doesn't work. At least, I've not been able to get it to work. Hopefully I'm wrong, but it seems like an incredible oversight and I can't believe no one else has discovered it until now. Opened Drupal Documentation issue here: http://drupal.org/node/271604 Thanks. -ron Frédéric G. MARAND wrote:
Could you describe why you think the documentation is incorrect ? I've used it to create other searches without specific problems. How was core not compliant with the documentation in your case ?
Also, could you please open this as an issue against Drupal/search or Documentation/In CVS so the issue and its eventual resolution remain more widely available in the future ? Others might meet the same problem as you.

I just submitted an issue here: http://drupal.org/node/271604. The Drupal 5.x and 6.x hook_search documentation is incorrect.
I just want to add another tab to the search form that, for right now, just does another regular search. Not specialized in any way (at least right now). Just a normal search, but the api documentation is incorrect and I can't find any examples anywhere of how to do this.
Can someone point me in the right direction, or show me the hook_search api code that *does* work?
Thanks!
