It doesn't really matter, but here are some things to think about:

* Unless you only want to reach a specific audience, the skills of your users will vary from extremely new to extremely experienced. You want something easy for the new ones, and appealing to the experienced users. * You should want the button to be obvious and to the point - no guessing here - to the function it serves. You wouldn't (and really shouldn't) want a button that says 'search' to do anything other than to search through the website for the entered related information (or search any document or database for that matter). * With the above said, you also want it to be captive to the audience. Step outside the box (a little bit) and make them want to push that button. Make the user believe that by pushing that button, they will get exactly what they are looking for (and that it really does!) * Make sure the label that you do place on the button matches the overall appearance and invokes the "experience" (or emotion) of having used your website. An example: The goal of your website is an information-gathering experience, so using the term 'search' would be better. On the flip side the experience you want to suggest on your website is something exciting and "on the run," maybe 'Go' would be better. 1) for GO --> if you have a particular page for your product and you want that user will click on this button and the button linked to a particular page then GO is perfect for a button.

2) for Search --> If you have a lot of data and want that after click on button some of those data will come on a page then Search is Perfect.
