There are a lot more search engine functionalities than I would have expected (searching within specific site, without specific words, within specific date ranges). Very helpful course that will save time on future searches.

Very basic and am not sure how this provides CPE credit for CPAs. I thought there would be some technical information regarding how Google algorithms actually work.
