 * Hi,
 * I’m looking to replace the search functions in wordpress. I don’t want to search
   the wordpress tables but I have other tables in my database I’d like to search
   and use wordpress to display them.
 * Where might I start, can the search functions be overridden easly? As all my 
   google searches are just showing my how to change the search results/display 
   but not the data to search.
 * Regards,
    arden
