Google search ranking

[jimhester]

Google doesn't provide an API for this, and has some measures in place like captcha's to prevent automated searches if it thinks you are a non-human, but we can probably open a browser window with a search query at least.

an improved version of the following?

open_search <- function(query) {
browseURL(paste0("http://www.google.com?q=", query))
}
