What to watch out for
The free trial is the only free access mentioned, and pricing is not displayed on the page, so treat free use as temporary. Search quality has not been independently verified, so test it against the searches you actually do before relying on it. This is a general web search tool: if you need specialist academic or legal databases, it will not replace them. As with any search engine, check the source of a result before you trust the content on the page it points to.
