Hello,

I just tested your script and i got different results that those in your readme.
To find my errors I did the search manually in Google Scholars, the number of results in Google Scholars was consistant with the output of my run of your script.
Then I realized that I also had results for the years 2000-2009... so I did the search for 2000 manually and I indeed have result for bitcoin in 2000 but those should be not valid as it is not publication in 2000 but publication containing 2000

Is Google Scholar no longer selective enough or did I make a configuration error?

NB : The manual search gave the same results via the Google Scholar interface and by creating the url as in your script (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_vis=1&hl=en&as_sdt=1,5&q=bitcoin&as_ylo=2000&as_yhi=2000)

Hi, nice tool! how do I correctly run the command for multiple words? for example, if I wish to search "decision trees" which contains two words, how should I type it in the command? I tried using python extract_occurrences.py '"decision trees"' 2000 2021 but it seems to not give a reliable result. thank you.

@texhnolize There is nothing I can do about this. The script just fetches the Google Scholar results. If there are entries with wrong dates (i.e. before 2009) in the database, they will show up here and on the Google Scholar website.

@msnir009 Your command looks fine. Did you try to manually verify on the Google Scholar website if you get the same results? Maybe a look at #4 helps?
