At a web-content committee meeting a while ago, we noted that the library search didn't search any pages on the ERes server. As a result, students were missing a wide variety of available resources: none of the resources by subject pages or submission forms were searched.
I was recently able to make this change, but it had one unintended consequence. The search box at the top of the page now has faint lettering reading "Google custom search."
Will this cause confusion? Do we need to add text making it clear that the search is for the library web site and not all of Google?
I can't make the "Google custom search" text go away.
Please let me know what you think about this new change and if you encounter any problems.
