GoogleSearchCriterion

A toy to compare words against Google search results. Language is a vivid organism. There is no right or wrong. By observing results from Google one can observe the usage of words and compare them with others. All explanations should be avoided :)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'google_search_criterion'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install google_search_criterion

Type $ google-results for help.

1. Examine names popularity

In Greece - like everywhere else - we have a couple of very popular first names for men like γιωργος γιαννης κωστας . I believe that γιαννης is more popular than γιωργος and κωστας is in the third place. I can easily investigate my assumption:

  $ google-results sort γιαννης γιωργος κωστας

2. Examine preferred form of a word

I want to write αχιλεας but I am not sure if it is written with one 'λ' or 2 'λ's or one 'χ'

  $ google-results sort αχιλεας αχχιλεας αχιλλεας αχχιλλεας

3. I want to see what is the most popular polital party

  $ google-results sort "νεα δημοκρατια" πασοκ κκε συριζα ανελ
