Advanced More file types

CSV word lists
CSV files that call themselves a list, glossary or vocabulary, so fewer spreadsheets of spending or staff data.
Find XML files
Looks for .xml files. Google matches the words inside the file. Import takes CSV or TXT for now, so save the words as a CSV first.
Thesauri (SKOS)
Controlled vocabularies: curated term lists for a topic, often XML or RDF. Each term is a "prefLabel".
GitHub raw files
Hits are the files themselves, not repository pages. Untested.
Open directories
Advanced: server folder listings. Noisy; untested.
URL ends in .csv
Advanced fallback for engines that ignore filetype:.

Advanced More places

Other code hosts
GitLab, Codeberg (the biggest public Gitea-family host) and Bitbucket.
Data hosts
Dataset pages on Hugging Face, Kaggle, Zenodo and data.gov.
Published Google Sheets
Public spreadsheets. Open one, then File > Download > CSV, and import it.
Wikipedia "List of" pages
Topic vocabulary pages. They are web pages, not files: copy the names into a CSV.

Google AI gets your topic and words as a sentence. Options and styles don't apply.
