Google is a free search engine that crawls all over the internet. It ranks first in both;popularity and searching technique.The technique it uses is very special as it shows exact and revalent results. The same thing has happened to people websites. Some visitors comes to their website. They look for the contents they are searching for and if they didn't found then its probable that your site receives a back flow. You can see some template have already some searching materials. They in fact search your site but fail to provide accurate results. Although Google provides free searching tool for your blog, but it doesn't looks so good and cant be placed in navigation bar as it is the best place to keep it. So what should you do know then? The best idea is to create a custom search engine. It provides you with searching technique based on that of Google's. Moreover you can keep it in your navi bar too. You can see a live demo in my blog too in my navi bar.
