Finally, JoomlaHacks offers a SearchBot for their component. Odd that the
Handy PHP one doesn't work since it was specifically written for this bridge.

It is true that the
Handy PHP version will not work on Joomla-SMF installations that are on seperate databases. And unless, the SMF database has been radically changed, I don't see how the searchbot wouldn't work any longer.
Anyhow, more power to you. Glad to see that somebody here decided to finally finish the project. I'll look into the claim that the
Handy PHP Joomla-SMF Searchbot won't work! At this time, it seems that Wolverine just wants to promote his extension by bad-mouthing someone else's.
I guess some people are more interested in their own benefit that that of their users:
Search Joomla & SMF on different databases?So, if the
Handy PHP SearchBot truly doesn't work, please feel free to explain in want situation is fails and I'll drop the subject!
