# Google Search

## Overview
Search engine (archetype: search). Google.com — autocomplete suggestions, organic web/image/news/video/shopping results, local business pack, knowledge panel, People Also Ask, and related searches via page DOM extraction.

## Workflows

### Research a topic with context
1. `searchSuggestions(q)` → `completions[]` for query refinement
2. `searchWeb(q)` → `title`, `link`, `snippet` per result
3. `getPeopleAlsoAsk(q)` → `questions[]` for deeper exploration
4. `getRelatedSearches(q)` → `searches[]` for follow-up queries

### Compare products
1. `searchSuggestions(q)` → `completions[]` to refine product search terms
2. `searchShopping(q)` → `title`, `price`, `merchant`, `reviewCount`
3. `searchWeb(q)` → `title`, `link`, `snippet` for review articles

### Get entity information
1. `searchWeb(q)` → `title`, `link`, `snippet` for entity name
2. `getKnowledgePanel(q)` → `title`, `subtitle`, `description`, `facts[]`

### Find local businesses
1. `searchLocal(q)` → `name`, `rating`, `reviews`, `type`, `address`
2. `searchWeb(q)` → supplementary `title`, `link`, `snippet` results
