Sterling, it is just a matter of practice. You get better as you do it.  

And I should say for the benefit of anyone new trying to answer their own
questions that it is a lot easier to retrieve something if you know it is
there than find out if something is there in the first place.  For example,
the posts on that limestone bluff I retreived recently were a piece of cake
since I knew the work "buffering" had been used and that word is not one that
gets used except in pretty specific instances. 

The ideal search term is one that will eliminate what you don't want as well
as include what you do want. So if you want to read about Round-up and only
about Round-up use that as a term rather than "herbicide" and you should get
stuff on point, unless someone had been in cattle country and told us about
it.
