    3. I doubt if very many ever look far enough to get to the bottom of the page. It seems most only go down far enough any more to find the "search" box, fill in their name of interest and if they do not get instant hits, move on to pages elsewhere.

    3. I put my search engine at the bottom of the page just above my footer. Since search engines don't always pull up everything you have on your site or will pull up several pages that it found only because the name of the submitter matches what you typed in. There is also the issue of spelling. I think it is good for the researcher to see what your page has to offer. Often pages have great information that might help our researchers that will not come up in a search such as interesting newspaper articles about the area or stories that might give them an idea of what life might have been like for their ancestor. Or links to other sites that might be of help. Many states are putting vital records on line that the researcher would not know about if they stopped at the top of your page and ran a search. If you place your search engine at the top of the page and the page itself is never looked at a lot of very good and helpful things could be missed. Just my thoughts on the matter.
