Just realized my whole search method was backwards after talking to a librarian
She said 'the best stuff is never on the first page of results, you have to dig in the footnotes' and it totally clicked. Anyone have a good trick for finding those deep web pages that don't show up in normal searches?
Yeah, it's one of those things that just hits different when you hear someone else say it. I mean, sometimes you're just grinding away and feel totally alone in it. Then you see a comment like that and it's like, oh okay, it's not just me. Makes the whole thing a tiny bit easier to deal with.
