A good resource is to search the database of pdf files only. Using Google, you would go into advanced search, enter your search word(s), then specify .pdf in the file type drop down menu. This is a great ad-free informational alternative.

totally frustrated by commercial search engine… but didn’t find an alternative here for the non-tech user that I am…

Frustrating, isn’t it? I often skip ten pages in or so to get past all the crapola that passes for content these days. An alternative — Open Source or otherwise will arise — that’s the power of the marketplace of ideas.

Thanks for getting me started in the right direction. I was looking for some basic information about computer freeze ups (just informational, I’m not even having the problem) and every site I found was an advertisement for a registry cleaner. I know the purely informational sites are out there, I just need to learn how to find them.

I would like to see a search engine that is non-commercial in the sense that it does not list sites that use advertising. It seems like more and more areas of information are becoming hopelessly obfuscated by sites whose only object is to get people to click on ads.

open source is good, but creativity is hiding the source! this is the dilemma of open source programming!

Google, Yahoo, MSN just provide comercial links as priority results. They no longer are an alternative to obtain information.
