• NASA Technical Report Server (NTRS)
  This works easily and you can bookmark pages. It helps to click to check all the databases if doing a general search. Of course, it will go faster if you know where a document resides. NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI) is often used for general information because it seems to go back farther in time than some databases.
• or GRC Technical Reports Server
  This works with more difficulty, and doesn't find as much, but you can bookmark the pages and expect to get them again tomorrow. It will retrieve locally so it is fast. It is best for local (LeRC/GRC) documents unless they are very old.
• or Science and Technical Information (STI)
  This works with even more difficulty, and doesn't find as much.
• When I did a search, I found a bunch.
