2. Elevator Pitch
● For student researchers
● Who are dissatisfied with current methods to refine
their Google Scholar search
● Our product is a Chrome extension
● That aids in narrowing search results
● Unlike Google Scholar or Google Advanced Search,
● Our product helps users give feedback on results
and quickly change their search query.

4. User Quotes
● “It would be helpful if the search bar is
always visible.”
● “I would have killed for this last year.”
● “The minus button removing all results
with a word might be too extreme.”

5. Shortcoming Solution
Suggestions do not update
based on current query
Parse existing search
whenever changes are made
Only works in Google Scholar
Expand implementation to
handle regular Google also
Aesthetically bland
Rewrite program using
Bootstrap library
Cannot revert query changes
Search bar remains visible
and allow revert in modal
