No major Web site can do without a search utility.
Search utilities make it much easier for visitors to find specific information.
But building a search engine is way beyond most Web builders' skill sets. The text on the site has to be indexed, and a query has to be built that allows people to drop in keywords and come up with results. Fortunately, there are a few free options that let you add search functions to your site without a lot of hassle. Also, some Web hosting companies offer individual site searching as part of a package. To show you how easy it is, we'll walk you through adding a free PicoSearch to your site.
