Google On-site Search is allowed. It's also helpful. After you've gotten it set up and Google runs its bots, you'll get details about your site through Google Webmaster Tools. For example, let's say you forgot to change a title so two pages are alike in the Header section.... Well, Webmaster Tools will tell you which pages and what is wrong. It will tell you keywords, 404-not found pages, etc. Makes it much easier to fix things.
