Volkerize.com is here - Tesla Motors forum searching!
Thanks to the suggestion of Tharasix, and with the utmost respect to the most honorable @Volker.Berlin I give you Volkerize.com
Not too pretty, but it works.
I can tweak it to add subforum searches as well if you want.
Enjoy!

Nice link!
Very nice!
Dude! Totally awesome.
But I'll miss the personal touch of Volker.Berlin...
It is a poor subsitute
:-) Nice ! :-)
Add like the top 5 TM ForumsS posts using RSS nick?
Linked on my shortcuts bar! Tested and checked out.
Need to make this post a sticky!
Volker B is blushing right now
How cool is that! You kill me (laughing). :-D
However, not entirely correct. I prefer "site:www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums".
Could you add a link to this (private) forum topic, too?

+10 Volker.Berlin - we bow to your mastery. The only thing better on this site will be a photo of your delivered Model S.
@Volker - try the site now. LMK if that's what you wanted. I'll pretty it up when I get a bit more time.
this is awesome. It is my favorites. thank you Volker! TM should reward you with something, maybe a gift certificate from the tesla store
Here's a Google Site search I made for everyone. Doesn't redirect to Google either:

Nick, it's very good. For a personal touch can you add an enhancement. For a personal feel, how about if it displays search results like this...
This topic has already been extensivly discussed in topics. Here are links for your reference.

Boy, Less than/More than signs don't display correctly... : (
I'll have to review Volkerize.com for tag formatting suggestions.

eliminate the spaces here: & lt ; is less than; & gt ; is greater than.
Clarification: the 1st and 3rd semi-colons above are part of the codes -- 3 characters per code. < >
Nick - fabulous! A big thank you.
And a worthy homage to Volker's prolific contributions.
Just when I thought I had kicked the TM Forum addiction ... an epinephrine shot into the aorta!

The credit goes to Tharasix for contributing the idea and to nickjhowe for actually making it happen! This is a fun community, to say the least.

Thanks! Almost, but not quite. If you think I'm anal, account it to the fact hat I'm German... ;-) For some reason, I get fewer results for "site:www.teslamotors.com/..." as opposed to "site:teslamotors.com/...", but the relevant results seem to be there in either case. Therefore I prefer the former.
Regarding the link to the forum topic on search, let me suggest the following HTML snippet: http://codepad.org/r8iHtxTZ
Here's a Google Site search I made for everyone. Doesn't redirect to Google either (timdorr)
Very nice! I didn't even know about this Google service. nickjhowe, it may be more efficient to base the website on that service rather than manually implementing a custom search form... Just an idea. Don't worry if you don't find the time to further pursue the project -- we all have to work hard to be able to afford our Teslas! :-)
We should all be thankful that Volker hasn't rec'd his Model S yet otherwise he would be out driving all of the time and would have less time to dedicated to the forum:-) Thanks Volker!
Volker for president, instead of the other 2 useless candidates(One happens to be the current 'President')
Awesome! Thanks, Nick! Coming up with a off-handed, half-joking idea and seeing somebody implement it overnight is one of the reasons why I love the internet.
+1 Nick, well done. Now, if you only you can put a picture of smiling Volker to top it off :)
@Volker - care to oblige? pm me on the TMC - same username.
I honestly thought this was a troll thread the first time I saw it :D
GG no re guys, it's crazy, funny, and functional all in one :)
Is the bird's name Volker?

(It is sterilized, standardized, scientificized.)
Still in the Volker spirit, how about a Brian H filter?
I do'nt understan what you meen?
I suspect a Brian H. search will spellcheck whatever you enter, then add a short, condescending sentence denying global climate change.
