If you are searching bibliographic databases, search by subject. Searching by subject generally is more effective than performing a free text search as a subject search probably will retrieve fewer, more relevant references. Another option is to search for words appearing in the title. When searching the Internet, searching by title can be a very effective search technique. If the words appear in the title of a document, it is much more likely that the document is about the topic than if the words merely appear somewhere in the text of the document.
Phrase searching in the title often is an even more effective approach.
