I doubt it.  Also, I believe Google's crawling is adapted to the rate of
change it encounters on a site over time.  I don't know if that's considered
at the page level, but I suspect so.  It allows the crawler to profitably
visit pages which change a lot.

I vote for Google, at least for the time being.  Anything else seems like a
lot of effort at this point, for no obvious extra benefit.  I'd put a little
search box at the top of the left margin, right below Just's logos.
