| Links: Adding Search to Your Site
As long as there's been a Web, there's been a need for search engines. Because of the volume of information that's available out there, people will always need help finding what they want. Nowadays, it's commonplace for individual sites, even personal homepages, to have their own search capabilities, and so a slew of new services have appeared to help you quickly and easily add search to your site.

The time, energy, and money you've spent building your site is of no benefit if your users can't find what they're looking for. One way to start seeing a return on your investment is to install a search engine. But which one? And how do search engines work, anyway? [Webtechniques 08/2001]

Search engines, along with good information architecture and navigation systems, provide site visitors with access to the information they seek. Any self-respecting portal must include a search box, and large Web sites, Web stores and intranets should help people find information locally, rather than having them wander off to a search engine or--horrors!--to a competitor. We tested three leading search engines for servers: AltaVista Search Engine, the server version of the AltaVista Co. engine; Excalibur Technologies Corp. Excalibur RetrievalWare WebExpress; and Inktomi Search Software. We also evaluated two leading remote-search-service ASPs: Atomz.com's Atomz Enterprise Search and Searchbutton.com's Searchbutton Corporate. [Networkcomputing 16/10/2000]

But besides helping consumers, the latest search tools are also becoming powerful tools for enterprises--and not just for searches.

In our most recent web-site studies, we watched users look for information within web sites. Our goal was to gather data about what makes a good link, but we did not tell users whether or not they should use the site’s search facilities. Users went to these search engines in almost half the tasks. Maybe they shouldn’t have.
