It's gonna be difficult to explain why they were looking for lawyers, laundering, and statutes of limitations, if they didn't think they were doing anything wrong.

I'm curious how their search queries were able to be found, if anyone happens to know details about this.

    When you're under criminal investigation they (1) seize your computer and look at the browser history, and (2) ask Google what you searched for. Pretty simple, routine police work in the electronic era.

    I don't know details of how, but it's commonplace in serious crimes. If you spend a little time listening to crime YouTubes, many of them go "oh and he was googling how to get rid of the body". I assumed it was as straightforward as the police gets a warrant to get the info from Google.

First it falls to the prosecution to prove without a doubt that those searches were conducted by one of the individuals. The article posted here takes the prosecution's word at face value.
