Add Net Search Capability to Your Site

Why do people surf the net? For information and entertainment. One way of finding them is through search engines. And one way of nailing your visitors to your site is through letting them search the web through your site. It is not a difficult task to accomplish. Many search engines let you do it. Some even pay for it. A short list of such search engines are:

www.google.com
www.4anything.com
www.alltheweb.com
www.goto.com
www.about.com
www.mojosearch.com
www.123india.com
www.7search.com
www.metacrawler.com
www.indianwebsites.com
