# 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 :)
## Installation
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
## Usage
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
```
