Beware you don't overuse limiters or options like:

  • numbers ranging from (where is it pulling this information)
  • region 
  • last update (very limited to up to a year which is very restrictive. Use this in only rare instances when it makes sense.)
  • language (most of what you will get is in English*; this option is only useful if you are looking for sources from non-English sources)

*Because Google knows you are in California. Have you ever used Google outside of the US?
