Google and Yahoo should do it yes but here's a few:

It was a little tricky to find some that don't presuppose good knowledge
of one of the thousand frameworks like LFG, HPSG, GB, minimalism etc.

Control verbs are also known as equi verbs, and one type of raising
verbs are known as ECMs or "exceptional case marking".
