CCL: chemical literature searching for poor, unaffiliated

Free, from a great scholar, reliable article. Read it and the problem is solved.

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+ 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/ 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.

 Dear David,
 You may have a look at semantic scholar
 https://www.semanticscholar.org
 But please do not ignore just Google (not the scholar one), which
 points to a number of free resources ignored by Scholar Google, which
 in turn may point to pertinent resouces.
 Best regards,
 Michel.

Apparently I was wrong: Google Scholar does have Boolean searching, but Google doesn't want you to know about it! In fact, searching with Chrome led to a crash. (Coincidence? Who knows?) But I found information on a different browser. 
 For the record, use & for and and | for or.
 I'd still like to know about alternatives though.

As I mentioned on a different thread, I have, as far as I know, only Google Scholar for literature searching. I do not have an affiliation with an organization (such as a university) that would have an institutional subscription to something like STN or Reaxys.   I don't have a lot of money either.  Do I have any other options besides Google Scholar?
