Take out words like "a, to, and, the" which will increase the effectiveness of your search.
Search for Nouns
Using more nouns in your web search will help find the results you want. If you are researching Car Parking Garages, it would be better to type in "Car Garage", "Car Parking Garage" or "Car Parking Space" instead of "Car Parking". You will find that the results you receive after an internet search with more nouns will be more effective than a search using verbs.

Remember that if you search for a word that has multiple meanings, you may uncover results that don't apply to the question you wanted to answer. Due your best to minimize words that might have multiple meanings and replace them with words that apply to your topic. "Sex" can be replaced with the word "Gender" to receive better results.
