Google is completely enshittified - I can’t even use it without Capchas wasting 90% of my life.
What websites do you recommend (or search engines) to use for research?
I’m a professional researcher and we all use Google Scholar. I’ve never seen Captchas on there. Are you on Scholar itself, or standard Google?
I use standard Google. Should I just use scholar? I’m trying to reduce my use of Google’s services though.
Semantic Scholar is awesome. I use it every now and then.
Perplexity.ai, a general purpose search engine with AI, has an academic setting that leverages Semantic Scholar…but I think going to SS is just better. If you’re looking for article by a particular scholar—I like content written by Patricia Roberts-Miller—then Perplexity.ai is a good bet.
Thanks!

You may be surprised by the amount of journals and other scholarly resources you can access through your local library.
@TwoGems my business partner just turned me on to www.researchrooster.ai he says it is very helpful for uncovering webs of papers that cite each other and tracking new publication
Thanks!
Captchas on Google? What?
if you use VPN and someone abuses the IPs, then you’ll likely get captchas.
Interesting, I’ve never heard of that
