I have both FreeFind and Google on various websites. Bioth work well but the one difference I see is that the Google one tends to get you better listing rankings in a Google search. At least it's my opinion that it does. I created an entirely new site and used the Google search thingy. Within three days the site was number three in a google search.

Why wouldn't Google rank results from their search engine before others? What might be helpful to look at is the accuracy of those search results in terms of what you/your visitors might be searching for. Freefind provides a weekly report that tells me not only how many searches were made, but specifically what my visitors were looking for. That helps me to think about what redesign/upgrades to the site are going to be most helpful to my visitors. Pat A.
