Pro Tip: Basic search queries are never written in the form of a question.
Search with key word phrases. Use quotation marks to hold a phrase together.
Boolean operators help to narrow or broaden your search. AND, OR, and NOT are most commonly used.
Wildcard operators act as place holders as you search. This can help you to expand your search to include related words. (example: govern* will locate govern, governs, governor, government...)
