Google has a lot of private data about people. They can do, and do, many
bad things with this data. I can not stop Google surveillance, but I do
not want to make their task easier. Anyway, Startpage is an independent
proxy for Google Search therefore the results should be similar to what
Google Search would provide directly. In my experience DuckDuckGo has
served well enough. It is my main search engine.

Unfortunately, I still use Google Scholar because I have not found a
good general purpose alternative. I use PubMed when I need to search for
publications in medicine, but for mathematics/logic I do not know of any
good alternative. Suggestions would be very welcome.

Thanks! This gives much better results for my aforementioned benchmark
test about prime numbers. ☺

There seems to be no signification formalization of elementary topology
in HOL4. I am aware that there is some topology in “/src/real” in the
HOl4 distribution, but it is very limited. Searching with DuckDuckGo,
Startpage and Google Scholar for “formalization "higher order logic"
topology” does not turn anything relevant. As my first development with
a proof assistant I am formalizing some theorems of elementary topology
in HOL4. I plan to develop and publish a theory which is suitable as the
foundation for further developments.

If you know of an existing formalization of elementary topology in HOL4
please let me know, so that I can avoid duplicating work.

Regards.
