Congratulations on your new or not-so-new website! Whether for business or personal reasons (or sometimes both), millions of people are discovering the satisfaction and profitability of having a website. But have you ever wondered how to add search to your site? We'll describe why and how you might add searching to your site. First, why would you want people to be able to search through your site? The number one reason is so that they can find information more quickly. The second reason is closely related to the first: The longer people stay on your site, the more money you will make from advertising and sales. Have you ever visited someone's website and been frustrated to find that you couldn't find the information you really wanted to sink your teeth into, because there was no search box and you had to look through everything by hand? May it not happen again! One popular way to add search capabilities to your site is to stick a nice little Google box on it. Instructions to do this are found at Google's site . The best part is that it's free . . . no, the best part is that it's fast . . . oh well, those are both excellent reasons to put a Google box on your site. It lets people search the Web using Google as well as search within your website. Some people want to know how to submit "site" to search engines (where "site" is their particular website address). In the case of Yahoo!, MSN and Google, the three biggest search engines, all you need to do is email them directly. Just visit their sites and submit a request to be added to their listings. Each of those huge search engines also allows people to advertise with them for low costs.
