Description

Expected Behavior

Clicking on the link should take you to a website with content.

Current Behavior

The links currently go to a page that says, "Error establishing a connection to Database"

Possible Solution

Remove or update the links. Preferably update, but remove to avoid confusion.

Steps to Reproduce

Click on any of the 3 links below the given heading.

Context [OPTIONAL]

I was interested in learning more about implementing a search engine, but the dead links make it so I have to turn elsewhere.

Research direction
Locate the three links under the heading 'Implementing a Search Engine' in the README file. Verify if each link is dead (e.g., by visiting them or using a tool). If the target site is permanently down, remove the link. If an alternative working tutorial exists, update the link. Optionally, check for other dead links in the repository.
