If you have a large web site or blog, having a search field is incredibly helpful, as well. There’s nothing like wading through hundreds of pages to find specific content without a search feature. If a potential customer can’t find something easily on your site odds are they are going to go with Joe whose content is easy to search through.
You can often use a Google Search on your site, or if you have Joomla or WordPress (or another blogging platform or CMS (Content Management System) this will be fairly easy to accomplish. It’s not quite as easy to set this up with a static html site, but there are still services out there that will let you incorporate a functional search box onto your site.
