On-Site Search

On-site search is a feature that lets visitors look for information within one website rather than across the entire web. Someone browsing a home repair company's site might search for “deck repair” to find a service description or helpful article. Search quality depends on whether relevant pages are indexed by the site's own search system and whether results are easy to understand. On-site search complements navigation menus; it does not replace a clear site structure. A small website with just a handful of pages may not need a search box at all, while a larger resource library can benefit from one.
