Search Facility on Blog

[Jon Bieri]

Is this generally a good idea on a BLOG ( I guess it improves the users experience so on that basis it would seem advisable).

Where are the best places to put the search facility?

If I ever look for a search box, I always go towards the top right of a page - check other websites out though to get an idea. From my experience, putting a search box in the footer is the worst decision.

Top right IMHO

Top of the main content.

Don't put it right at the top of the page - this is the dead zone.

Use Amazon as a role model.

But don't bother unless you have something to search for. If you only have a few posts then it's not going to help your visitors.

Hi,

Here is a blog post that my colleague has written about 5 reasons why a website should have a search facility....https://www.chaptereight.com/blog/posts/benefits-of-site-search/index.html

That was a totally useless post. Whoever wrote it can't even count.

Using a wordpress format, can anyone advise the easiest way to do this?

Thanks

Jon

What do you think the best way is to cater (and track/measure) for the different kinds of landlords who visit my site, ie inexperienced, experienced, professional.

Do you think the use of different text boxes on the right hand size, with different messages might be a good way to go.

Ie New Top Property (click here)

Experienced Investor (Click here)

Professional

Any thoughts welcome.
