Book Search Help

Using Google Books' Co-Branded Search allows you to make your site more useful to your readers by letting them search the full text of your books directly from your website. Users will see search results and view book excerpts through a customized, Google-hosted service that maintains the look and feel of your website.

With your cooperation, Google will design and deploy a customized header that will display on your Co-Branded Search results pages. The elements of the header that can be customized to your specifications are:

• The logo: You can display your own logo on these pages
• The logo link: Your logo can link to your site's home page or another page on your site
• The header color: Google can use colors that match those on your web site
