While results vary - I use a variety of search engines, as I do business plan research for a living, and always looking for ways around paywalls. If I actually use a source for a client project, I will pay for it, but object to paying for something in advance only to find out it was not what I was looking for.
In the search box, type - filetype:pdf then type the search term you are looking for. It should return all pdf results. Same for xls, doc, which can get you some really interesting results sometimes.
Also https://12ft.io/ - 12 foot ladder - site that supposedly gets around paywalls, although I have not had much luck with it, it costs nothing to try it.
You can request publishers access as an independent publisher from Elsevier. That gives access to a lot of papers. Also, public medical school libraries will provide passwords.
Thank you so much for this. Knowledge should be free.
