<Site Index                       <Interactive menu     


A search engine can make your site more attractive and easy to use. This may either search your site internally for topics or search the Web via your site.


Your search engine will need to index and perform key word searching. This can be done by a script saved onto the web owners site or done externally by a connection to a site engine service.


Free services are quite easy to find and often simple to install on the site. Paid services offer more sophistication and are regularly re-indexed by the providers 'spiders'.
