Spellchecking and more with Google

A quick spellcheck can also be conducted by sticking a word in the GOOGLE search engine. The results will also show the word is used in sentences and phrases.
If you want to check phrases, use the Advanced Search option (just to the right of the normal GOOGLE search window).
GOOGLE has many other specialised search options. Included as a link on this page is the GOOGLE Scholar Search, which narrows a search to academic material.
For example, if you are studying tourism, a general search may well provide hits of no relevance (e.g. travel agencies, airlines etc.); A GOOGLE Scholar search excludes this material.
