Newman! And thanks for the catch.

TJ,

There are a number of things one may want to study further. At first glance, I’d note that you do not have the same type of relationship with a search engine that you do with Westlaw or Lexis. The study of the searches is a separate matter. In fact, insofar as one identifies a client for Westlaw or Lexis, the information is arguably easier to follow and then raise confidentiality questions. A public search that does not reveal the client is probably less revealing. Still I wonder whether there are ways to back out for whom the search is being done. In addition, lawyers may not want to use Google if it is easier to show a client what the research was via a third party for billing purposes.
