Description: 'Google' offers public access to global search volumes
        from its search engine through the 'Google Trends' portal. The
        package downloads these search volumes provided by 'Google
        Trends' and uses them to measure and analyze the distribution
        of search scores across countries or within countries. The
        package allows researchers and analysts to use these search
        scores to investigate global trends based on patterns within
        these scores. This offers insights such as degree of
        internationalization of firms and organizations or
        dissemination of political, social, or technological trends
        across the globe or within single countries.  An outline of the
        package's methodological foundations and potential applications
        is available as a working paper:
