If you don't mind bouncing them out to Google and back to your site, you can add "search this site with Google" without any programming whatsoever. I added the following HTML to the template for the bottom of my pages:
<form action="http://www.google.com/search" method=GET> <INPUT TYPE=hidden name=site value=swr> <INPUT TYPE=hidden name=q value="site:stonehenge.com"> <INPUT TYPE=text name=as_q size=31 maxlength=256 value=""> <INPUT TYPE=submit name=btnG VALUE="Search stonehenge.com with Google" +> </form>
Just replace the two occurrances of "stonehenge.com" with your domain name, and be sure that Google is hitting your site regularly.

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
