On a regular basis I use Google.com and GoogleScholar.com for research. Both of these search engines are very user friendly. I have found with using search operators the results yielded are more satisfactory. For any kind of academic research I try to go with googlescholar.com. One complaint I have with Google.com is sometimes your keywords produce results that do not have any relevance to your subject. When trying to use google.com for academic research you sometimes receive less than scholarly results. Both of these issues in most cases can be resolved with using search operators and/or using googlescholar.com for academic research.
I also use LexisNexis database accessible through the Auraria Library website. I have used to find information on court cases for other classes. The results it yields are highly accurate, the only downside is you must be very precise with your search keywords and phrases in my experience.
