There's little risk of finding the sort of research I did by mistake by cursory Googling. If you go searching for terms like "hyperpolarizability" and "wavepacket revival" then you deserve what you get.

It's bad enough that life science papers contain pileups of everyday nouns like

horseradish peroxidase-conjugated donkey antirabbit IgG secondary antibody

but what's worse is that the Google Scholar project and open access pollute completely ordinary searches.

Just now I remembered RGL's Charles Rosen Schlegel quote about a fragment being like a miniature artwork, perfect in itself, wie ein Igel, like a hedgehog. Swa swa Sebastian. So 'fragment hedgehog Schlegel' is a perfectly sensible thing to type when looking for the English translation.

I hadn't counted on Sonic hedgehog. Out of the first ten hits, I get PMID: 12235001 and DOI: 10.1089/107632701753213174. I go home in the evenings to get away from that sort of thing.
