@MartinSleziak is that approach0 site any good for finding papers, by the way? Every once in a while I try to find a paper with notation that won't show up in google, and that seems like maybe it's nice! — Harry Gindi 3 hours ago

Approach0 only search among Mathematics.SE posts, since this is the only site which is indexed there.
There was also short discussion on MathOverflow meta whether MO should be indexed too, but it seems that there was not much interest: Is there any third party search engine for MathOverflow?
I will also add that the creator of Approach0 can be occasionally found in this chatroom.
I recall that here on meta somebody mentioned that Zentralblatt has some kind of search: Searching mathematical formulae like in Zentralblatt Math
There are quite a lot questions about searching for math formulas floating around MO and Math.SE.
People mentioned there a few search engines: symbolhound, searchOnMath, uniquation, LaTeXSearch (Springer).
However, I do not have much experience with any of them. I think I've tried uniquation a bit. I think most of them do not search papers. (More like websites, maybe specifically Wikipedia, MO, Math.SE and similar sites.)
I have experimented a bit with uniquation.

Uniquation seems to return also some results from Math.SE and MathOverflow, which is why I have mentioned it in an answer to the meta.MO post.
I am not sure to which extent this answers your question and whether any of this is actually helpful @HarryGindi.

ah, neat! that helps a lot actually!
Thanks!

Personally I think that Approach0 is very good when searching for formulas. But, as I said, it only searches on math.SE.
For example, if I search for $\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac1n\right)^n$, the results on the first page looks quite relevant to this.
If I change n to k, I get the same set of results, but maybe with a different ordering.
