Google scholar made it very easy to search for scholarly information over the internet regarding my topic. It was more concentrated in terms of the searches it gave out and left out irrelevant sources that would usually show up on the normal/original or all around search engine which gave everything that would relate to your keywords wherein the first page would be the top searched for. Google scholar made it so that it would give you exactly what you’re looking for which was plenty of help for me, although I can imagine people having problem with Google scholar if they do not know how to type out or even where to start with the correct key words and phrases.

I agree — Google Scholar can be troublesome for searchers who do not know the appropriate keywords and phrases for their topics, since there are no subject headings or controlled vocabularies, and very little control over subjects or disciplines are represented in the retrieved results.
