A small study to observe the universality in Google search query durations. It is used in this paper: [1511.06444] Universality in halting time and its applications in optimization

This script makes Google search queries of randomly chosen words and records their durations into a file.

Usage

  • Edit duration.py to set the number of words.
  • Run it via python googledecisionduration.py
  • After it finishes you can plot the graph via python duration_plot.py
