The database search engines are designed to search for the information you want based on the keywords you enter. If you enter only the keywords that best describe the topic or question you are researching, you are much more likely to get the information that is about your research topic or question
So, ask yourself; what are the main ideas/concepts of my search topic and/or question? What search terms do I think will get me the most relevant results?
Brainstorming the best keywords and synonyms that will describe your topic will get you the best results.
