Google v. Wexis -- the showdown!

Google recently released google scholar -- a free legal research service. It's a good start. Based on my quick review, the "shepardizing" function ("how cited" function) seems incomplete. Here is also a t0-do list for google scholar.

I wonder how concerned Wexis is right now? One blawg doesn't think google will give the Wexis duopoly a run for its money, but will instead be a game changer in the market for the "second city" cheap/free providers. Same.

One benefit of google over wexis -- google's outstanding searching capability. Although, I might be sad seeing the end of those crazy/quirky search terms, that've become a language in themselves. BTW, check out this deusey of a search term: HE((F.R.C.P. "FED.RULES CIV.PROC" CIV.PROC.RULE "FEDRULES CIVPROC" F.R.CIV.P. F.R.CIV.PRO. FED.R.CIV.P.
