Adding a Google Search Bar:

Now days, and with Google taking over the world!, many websites now have Google Search bars on their websites. These search bars aren't the typical search engines, they can be modified to just search the respective website. Theres a few ways to go about adding the Google Search bar, I went to Google.com/cse From here, you will be taken through a tutorial that will code the search bar and customize it to search your website. Then from here, you just add the code to your site's code.

Information from: Google Custom Search Engine

Why Important:

It is important to a site's audience. It makes it easier for the audience to locate certain topics on your website - without developing a headache from searching every page on your site. Most websites that have implicated the search bar usually have it on the top of the site. On mine, I have decided to put it on the footer. I didn't want to take away from the header logo of my page. And since there isn't much to my site, I believe it is ok to put it on the bottom of the site.

Implication:

Look on the footer for the search bar.
