    Why write your own when you can create a custom Google search for just you site, or when you could use already existing scripts? Creating your own would be a waste of time. You simply could not make one as efficient as pre-existing ones without investing a lot of time.

    To become an professional web developer, it's always wise to use pre-existing libraries to maximize efficiency.

    Using google's search still relies on Google indexing all your pages.

    Unless you have sensitive information, what's it matter?

    Namely you can't count on them indexing all your pages. Even with a sitemap.

    Google doesn't rely on a sitemap, it crawls all links on every page.

    But does not index all the pages it crawls (only has about half his pages index. even if he get new pages index quite quickly)

    and I do know it does not religh on a sightmap, but even Google say a sitemap helps.

    Well, if the user has more than 50 pages, then he/she can use other pre-existing libraries...as already stated.
