I tried a search for this first and had negative results so I thought it might be helpful.

Google has launched a new https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/google-launches-new-dataset-search-engine.htm feature that enables laypersons to retrieve highly specific results from millions of scattered scientific and technical sources. If you like to get to original scientific sources of data, this one’s for you.

Computer science news on Phys.org
I saw this a few days ago. What interesting things can members find?
 
I had no idea what the search engine amounted to, I just accepted Google's description.

I really do not have the required background for the Physics Forums website. I read and understand whatever I can as I do have a great interest in most fields of science but post very little. I was trying to support the forums by being a contributor to whatever extent I am capable of.
