CCL: chemical literature searching for poor, unaffiliated

I’d second Michel’s suggestion of using just plain Google,
 but add that adding the restriction filetype:pdf can provide a site effective
 primary filter.
 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=metol+ <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=metol+>; Pudbmed can
 sometimes turn up interesting results without a specifically medical focus as
 well. The link I’ve placed here is for a search for Metol.
 A each for “Density functional calculations” returns 80,000
 results.
 My other go-to data base site is
 https://eric.ed.gov/ <https://eric.ed.gov/>;
 however that is primarily education related sources, so things like the journal
 of Chemical education might show up, but little else. As my primary research
 interest now is education, I use it a lot.

 Google doesn't want you to know about it! In fact, searching with Chrome led to

 either.  Do I have any other options besides Google Scholar?
