The original sentence:
I'm searching "penrose: the origin of free will and the principle of uncertainty" in Google Scholar, trying to find the exact paper written by him. Darn it; it needs time to confirm. If you knew, let me know please.
My edit:
I'm searching for "Penrose: the origin of free will and the principle of uncertainty" in Google Scholar, trying to find out the exact paper by him. Darn it; it needs time to confirm. If you knew, let me know please.
(I've removed "written" because "by" can properly refer to "written by." Am I on the right track?)
@oristarA,
Searching "
for" is an improvement.
You do not (probably) want to find out the exact paper by him. You want to find it. Finding out sounds to me like you might want the title and date only.
I would also remove 'written'. It adds nothing.

You didn't ask, but I would change 'knew' to know. Since this has you using the word 'know' twice in a sentence, I would rewrite it to "If you know, please tell me."
