What is the impact of the database and electronic search engines ready-made such as Google on the thinking skills of researchers?
They provide help and easy access while searching. However, they might limit researcher's ability and skills to explore other ways of looking for information and answers of interest.

شكرا جزيلا دكتور @صلاح حسون جبار

It would limit the researcher's thinking in many ways. It is one of the ramifications of "get answers quick" and fast pace state of affairs these days. When I was doing my dissertation in the 1980's we had no Internet or Google search. We would ask the university librarian to submit a request for search. We had to be really clever in coming up with the right key words. A week later we would get an output of relevant paper titles. Based on reading through the titles and assessing its true relevancy to your current work one would submit a request for full length articles which had to be requested via Inter-library loan which took another 3-4 weeks!
