As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

(Sorry this wasn't an update but I believe that the use of platforms, however small enables new people to understand the depths of a situation.)
Make no mistake. Gaza IS under colonial rule. Gaza IS enduring war crimes and massacres of the highest atrocities .We cannot sit by and continue watching the eradication of a group of people based on the racist and ideological beliefs of those in power. This did not start in October 7th.It started when Britain believed it had the right to hand over an independent nation to Zionists to further expand their reach in the Middle East.
As an African, born, raised and living in Africa I have always been well aware of the militia groups that maim communities in Congo for the sake of economic gain. Congo, who has suffered from the brutal colonisation from Belgium and is now continuously injured by technological companies and political powers such as the US and France just because of its minerals needs our aid. We have to stop the overconsumption of electronic goods. We must reject this capitalistic economy that allows such atrocities to not only be committed but also be accepted as the norm. Killing people should NEVER be the norm.
We cannot forget Sudan where civil war is sprouting at the consequence of her young people dying. Democracy is a human right. No human should be indoctrinated to authouritarian rule where the ruling class live in splendor while the minority are forced into squalor despite their earning for keep. Sudan deserves its right to freedom. Let us not forget our Sudanese brothers and sisters as they struggle to attain freedom that was always deserving of them.
