Im guessing your "Visits Without Site Search" says 100%?

I believe it is part of the site search data on analytics. It shows you visits to pages that occurred as a result of a site search (internal). You need to have a google search bar installed on your site to use this feature in analytics I believe.

As far as helping your site, idk maybe. Do you have an e-commerce site? I feel like that is what it is generally used for. It could also be helpful for a lot of other sites that people may be searching for a certain topic/article.

May I know if this is offered by Google? and what benefits if we install Google search bar on my site?

Here is how you can set it up, it's not actually downloading a special search bar or anything, more so setting it up through google. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1012264?hl=en&ref_topic=1031951

Few benefits - You can see trends of certain keywords, for example, a lot of people are searching for air jordans - is this hard to find, should it be featured more clearly on the site. Are a lot of people using the site search feature, maybe look into the navigation and see if it's user friendly. Are a lot of people searching for an article that we don't have? Maybe create an article answering that search query.

Just a few things that might be helpful.
