Well, perhaps... usability studies do suggest that more and more people
head straight for the search box when visiting a site rather than using
the carefully-designed navigation(!), but I guess if they've arrived the
sitemap then they've already opted not to use the search facility on the
homepage.

"Merchandise"... I dunno, what links is it actually going to point to?
