Tips on restoring all your misshandled files. Without Reinstalling SMF SOFTWARE.

[dejiman]

Recently I had a problem with my Theme/default/search.php  file. 
I was told to reinstall SMF 1.1.4 .
But i felt reluctant in doing that because It will take me a lot of stress.

So ask me what I did?

I opened the SMF 1.1.4 ZIP file with my PC and I search for the file i needed of course it was in PHP file so the system really didn't recognised it , I now opened it with NOTEPAD then I copied all the necessary file and I replaced it with the old one.
