Based on the information you've provided, here's how you can address this issue:

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]: You were interested in learning more about implementing a search engine, but the dead links make it so you have to turn elsewhere.

To implement this solution, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the Links: First, identify the specific links that are causing the issue. You may need access to the website's content management system (CMS) or source code to locate and modify these links.

  2. Update the Links (Preferable): If you have control over the content, update the links to point to the correct website or web page with the desired content. Ensure that the URLs are accurate and that the linked pages are accessible.

  3. Remove Dead Links (Alternative): If you are unable to update the links or if they are no longer relevant, it's better to remove them. This prevents users from encountering broken links and error messages, reducing confusion.

  4. Test the Links: After making changes, thoroughly test the links to ensure they now behave as expected, taking users to the relevant content.

  5. Document Changes: It's a good practice to document the changes you've made for future reference and to inform other team members.

  6. Monitor for Future Issues: Regularly check the website for broken links or other issues to ensure a smooth user experience.

By following these steps, you should be able to address the issue of links leading to an "Error establishing a connection to Database" and provide a better user experience for visitors interested in learning about implementing a search engine.
