Hi all.

Has anyone received any advantage from adding google's searchbox to the site?

How do you mean advantage?

When users search, they do click on the ads with quite a high CTR.

Advantage in the natural SERPS, pretty darn hard to tell.

Go for it, nice feature for your users.

Remember, it's about the users, not you!

We have google search box in couple of our sites, It doesnt give any favour to the site,

There was a discussion long time back that adding the search box to a site increases deep crawling, dont know whether its true or now,

Better of to think in User point of view, if you like your visitors to use google search feature you can definetely add it to your site,
