Prophy annoyances

Prophy is the European Union competitor to Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and former Microsoft Academic.

To put it mildly it sucks:

  1. It is too slow compared with the above competitors
  2. It does not find articles, the competitors find easily unless you use a rather cumbersome way of entering the search term
  3. You are not logged in. You have 6 free search queries for today. (I got this message before even reaching 6 searches)
