// Package google provides a function to do Google searches using the Google Web
// Search API. See https://developers.google.com/web-search/docs/
//
// This package is an example to accompany https://blog.golang.org/context.
// It is not intended for use by others.
//
// Google has since disabled its search API,
// and so this package is no longer useful.
