TitlePage custom search engine - enhanced searching and linking
June 13, 2023
TitlePage Development

Visit the TitlePage Zendesk to learn how to turn TitlePage into your browser’s ‘book search engine’.

The enhanced searching and linking features on TitlePage are designed to make your experience faster, easier, and more seamless than ever. 

We've optimised our platform to allow effortless linking back to TitlePage, ensuring the most accurate and up-to-date bibliographic information is always easily accessible.

Our new search functions allow you to search TitlePage directly from your browser's address bar. This not only accelerates your search experience, but also streamlines your workflow by providing direct access to TitlePage's comprehensive book information. 

Our URL structure simplifies your search and navigation. Here's how it works:

  1. To access information about a specific book, use the ISBN-13 in the URL like this: www.titlepage.com/item/9780734421142

  2. Alternatively, to conduct a broader search, use the search term format in the URL like this: https://titlepage.com/item/?s=SEARCH TERM Your search term could be an author name, title, ISBN-13 or a combination of author or title (partial or complete title) to search for books on TitlePage. Where your search has multiple words/parts, you can simply use a space in between as above, but if you want to use this link elsewhere or send to someone else, use a + to ensure it’s recognised as a standard hyperlink. Here are some examples to get you started:

These enhanced linking features are designed to streamline your browsing experience. If you're not logged in to your TitlePage account when you click a link, you'll first be directed to the login page to ensure secure access.

If your search yields a single result, you'll be taken straight to that specific product record. If there are multiple results, you'll land on a search results page, where you can easily navigate to the book details you need.
