Anyone think if the is such a thing like google for chemistry
http://www.organic-chemistry.org/chemicals/search.htm
http://www.chemspider.com
Or any exact search engine or indexed database of chemicals
And verious types of chemisty electrochemistry organic etc

Reaxys is probably the best example, but it's not free (although if you're at a university you likely have access). You should see the "Reaxys and
Scifinder Requests" thread.

Wait, but google is a good search engine for chemistry. It might be hard to use because it's a general search engine, but with some experience you
might get decent results. For example, reaxys cannot search through books, while google has mind-blowing amount of scanned books with reacognized and
searchable text.

Google scholar is not bad. Although I can't compare with reacsys.
And you can also do patent searches.
But if I am honest, I seldom need anything particularly scholarly or technical. The vast majority of my searches are for basic properties and
information and for that I usually look up the data table in wikipedia.
It all comes down to what you actually need. The limiting factor is not usually the strength of the search engine or the free availability of the
information. The limiting factor is usually knowing what you need to know.

https://libgen.pw/ offers various ebooks, mostly in pdf. It has some that archive.org and google can't find. For example it has all google ebooks
(google books which contain ebook), which google only offers partially, asks for money...
And best book for chemical data, all in one, is CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 2016-2017: https://libgen.pw/item/detail/id/5a1f059d3a044650f51301e0
