I used to work as a translator and I'd often google some phrases wrapping them in quotes to see how often and what contexts they occurred in. I still do sometimes while writing letters in English. But that's become much harder now because now Google is too "smart" and can guess that I'm really interested in the query from a linguistic point of view and almost always the first page of results is some linguistic forums and stuff like that, while I just want real-world examples, not posts from all sorts of linguistic equivalents of StackOverflow.
