In Search of Happy In-Site Search Experiences (GrokDotCom) -- "The heart of the matter is this: if you are going to incorporate an in-site search application on your Web site, you need to make it a shining example of software design that fits seamlessly into the structure of your site’s persuasion architecture." (Comments: Thanks MadMan.)

"Persuasion architecture." Hmmmmmm.

Cathedrals inspiring awe of God. Mechanism for control.
Courtrooms asserting authority of highly seated judge. Mechanism for control.
Grocery stores placing kid-targeted products at kid eye level. Mechanism to increase sales.

I submit to you that persuasion in web design is usually a bad thing, an unethical thing. Give me facts and figures and let me make up my own mind.
