That is a great point, “that people are use to doing searches now”, so having a search application on your website is kinda mandatory. It’s awesome that you can track their searches within your site, that’ll give some real data gems about how many you can layout you site better. For example if you find that you keep getting one particular phrases searched on, then why not add an obvious section to your homepage on that keyword phrase so visitors don’t even then have to search for it.
