Keywords matter. Think of different terms to search for the same thing. Instead of just "movies" search: movies OR films OR cinema OR "motion pictures"
Enclose phrases in quotation marks. In the above example, you would search "motion pictures" in quotation marks to keep the two words together.
Use the limiters. If you just need scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, for example, you can check a box to limit your search to show only those.
Pay attention to the number of results. Too many results? Connecting terms with AND narrows your search. Too few results? Connecting terms with OR broadens your search. Irrelevant results? Exclude terms with NOT.
