Yet again, I’m wishing that Google had an option to filter out any sites which charge for access. A lot of my interests are academic, and when I search for information a lot of the results tend to be links to pay-per-view journals or other non-free websites. And this drives me crazy, because I’m not interested in paying for access most of the time, and clicking through just to find a request for money is precious seconds wasted.
Why don’t search engines have a prominent option to filter out all pay-to-view sites?
