the point of departure of search as research, or societal search, may be summarized as follows: we look at Google results and see society, instead of Google. That is to say, including its ‘artifacts,’ engine results put much on display – from source competition and standing to longevity and commitment. (Rogers 2013)
search as research digital methods
Can the search engine be repurposed to show which rights are specific per country?
research question
.nl (Dutch), .be (Dutch, French),
.com/.co.uk/.com.au/(English),

“Query design” is the practice of formulating a query so the results can be interpreted as indications and findings (however clue-like), as opposed to mere information retrieved or optimization and manipulation exposed (however fascinating). (Rogers 2013, 111)
