Google Site Search

[JonsonSwartz]

I'm considering to implement google site search bar into my site.
I think I probably choose the version without the ads (I'll pay for it).

1. does anyone use Google Site Search and can tell if it's a good thing?
2. does it affects in any way on seo?

thank you

we`ve experienced marginal effects within our corporate blog when using it...

on the one hand the advantages can be found mainly on the side of UX/UI - if your visitors are Google affine they will like this feature because they know it. If you have enough content (especially a lot of articles in an archive for example) then this will help your visitors to search for the relevant info...

on the other hand there is a very powerful feature within analytics tools (Google Analytics and many more) to track what your visitors have searched for using your Site Search... I think I don`t have to tell you how useful this data can be...
