Also,not all users would be savvy enough with google's site: keyword. For them having to go back and google something might seem like a lot of work with no promised solution

| Mar 2, 2012 at 18:45 | comment | added | zzzzBov | my concern is that more often than not, site-level search is poorly implemented, and would require about as much "click-through" to get to the desired result. | |
