Hi. The SMF-Mambo integration has really reached its maturity, which you can tell by stable bridge file and amount of available modules that display smf functions in mambo. There is also a discussion bot which allows to make direct links to the forums from your news posts, indeed a useful feature.

However I think that the one thing that missing is the ability to search bridged SMF forum using Mambo's search function. This would prove a real convenience to the sites who don't want to clutter the interface with multiple search boxes, but instead prefer to have one search box for all of it's components. There is such a bot available for Simpleboard (Mambo's native forum) and many other components that work wtih a database. I was wondering if there is such a thing as SMF Mambo searchbot in development/existance/or someone's mind :x Sadly I'm not a coder myself,  so all I can do is offer my general help. If someone wishes to code this please let me know and I'll happily contribute the resources that I have. Thank you
