Google Search is an important part of modern literature research. Rather than using a gross-search and relying on the smarts of google's search algorithm, users can refine the search through parameters.
Additionally Google Search can inter-convert units, define words, plot graphs, show the weather.
Hands on examples:
Try the following examples. Each line represents an example search on Google Search . Bracketed are additional comments.

At google.scholar.com the author can be specified as follows.
Several more options are available
Google offers many applications and APIs, a significant one used in this project is the charting-API, which can also be explored interactively .

2007..2012defines the time period to be searched. The dots in-between are known as a splat operator.- the ~ tilde operator signifies an synonymous search.
- "" the double-quotes create a verbatim search-term, and ensure that the term is regarded e.g. "R", which would normally fall outside the term-inclusion-criteria.
- keyword: value allows search parameters to be set
- + explicitly includes terms whilst - explicitely excludes terms
- * wildcards a term
