I was looking for vector bundles online, and I found a website that shows all the related results. By related results, I mean theorems/propositions/definitions, etc. It is not ProjectEuclid, which only shows the corresponding paper and books. Unfortunately, I have lost the website.

This website can change the way mathematical research works. Finding the results is some of the most time-consuming tasks for mathematicians. For example, if I find all the definitions for vector bundles, I would have to read many books since there are different ways of generalizing them, then I would have to look for new papers to see whether there is something new. Or you can ask here and wait for days until there is an answer.

I am unsure whether this is the right place to ask this question since I am primarily interested in at least graduate-level questions, so Quora or Reddit have people that are mainly under that level. On the other hand, this place is at the right level, but I have primarily seen specific questions. If this were to be deleted, would anyone be so kind as to tell me which website I should ask this question to? Thank you so much.

    $\begingroup$ The meta aspect of this should go on MathOverflow Meta but I don't see anything in the site rules to prohibit asking about a specific, well-defined resource. Perhaps it would be useful if you could add more details about what exactly you are looking for (features, layout, site name?) just to narrow it down further. $\endgroup$

You might be thinking of nLab: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/vector+bundle
