What is scholar.google.com?

[grnidone]

I've never seen it...anyone know what it is?

It's a document search engine that includes research papers, books, etc. Read the 'about' section and it explains itself. It's fairly useful for those in the academic field - it avoids having to wade through non-relevant web results.

Please see the first thread on this topic named Google launches search for scholars (http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=2812), in the Other Google Issues (http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=33) Forum.
