When you search for books and articles on a particular topic, don't forget about open directories.
One way to find them is to use the advanced search operator "intitle". For example:
intitle: “index of” keyword pdf
One of the biggest challenges for search in 2025 is the sheer amount of AI generated content. Compared to it, SEO-optimized spammy texts are starting to seem informative and valuable.
One way to search only human-written content is to search forums and discussion sites. It can be done using specialized search engines:
forumscout.app
crowdview.ai
heupperranks.com/threads
boardreader.com
Or “google dorks”:
keyword inurl:forum
keyword inurl:viewthread
keyword inurl:showthread
keyword inurl:viewtopic
keyword inurl:showtopic
"Powered by Phbb" keyword
"Powered by vBulletin" keyword
"Powered by SMF" keyword
"powered by IPB" keyword
"powered by PunBB" keyword
