Add a search engine in the sidebar of your blogger

Every blog should include a search feature. If a reader has to click on every page or in every category to find what they are looking for then they may leave out of frustration. Adding a search feature will make your reader happy and it is easy to do.
Many of the Blogger templates do not include a search box. These simple instructions will show you how to add one to your blog.
Note: These instructions are for Blogger.com (Blogspot) blogs.

Follow these simple instructions:

1. Log into your Blogger.com account.
2. Click the Layout tab from your blog Dashboard.
3. Click Page Elements.
4. Click Add a Gadget above the section you want to put your search box in.
5. Click the plus sign next to HTML/Javascript.
6. Type Search this site (or whatever you want) in the Title box or leave it blank.
7. Copy and paste this HTML code in the text area.

• To modify the width of the search box change the size=”XX” number.
• To center the search box add before and after .

7. Click Save.
8. Click Preview.
9. You may have to drag the search gadget into a new area until you get it positioned where you want it to show on the blog.
10. To test the search functionality click View Blog.

Now you have a simple way for viewers to search your blog and the results will appear embedded in your blog so the reader isn’t taken off onto a new page or a site that doesn’t look like yours.
