Help Does Unchecking Network Notification save battery?

Under the WiFi settings "Network Notification - Notify me when a network is available" If checked, I know that it will continuously check for open networks when out. Personally, I forget to turn my WiFi off immediately most of the time when I leave the house and may remember later.

If this is unchecked, does it help save battery life by keeping the phone from searching for networks?
 
if the wifi radio is constantly on when not is use it will use more battery. how much is debatable
