Help with Placebo site

I run <a href="http://www.geocities.com/sickozero/">The Placebo Lyric
Archive</a> and I need some opinions on some ideas I have for it. For the
moment I'm considering it complete, since I got SWG today and corrected the
lyrics. What about an internal search engine for the archive? I've set one up
and played with it some, and it seems to work fairly well, I just don't know if
I should actually put it up for all to use. It seems like a good idea; people
are always saying "what song has < insert line here >?" and this search engine
thingy I'm playing with indexes all 92000 words in the archive. The other idea
I got from a Java script I found. It allows people to upload only a certain
type of file (which I'm not even sure would work since my site is on Geocities
and not hosted by my own computer). I'd have it set to accept .txt files
serving as a way for people to submit corrections.
Any thoughts? Inclusive, all 3 versions of the archive rack up about 500 hits
a week but I'm sure this will drop and rise in sync with the release of singles
and such. Would *you* use a search feature or FTP correction upload? Both of
them sound good, but are they simply fancy ideas or a realistic feature that is
necessary for my site and its visitors?
Any and all opinions are welcome, and by all means, feel free to suggest
anything I haven't mentioned.
