This is one of my goals of the year - to better myself at doing online research. I wish to be able to get more precise (?) results for what I am searching. Idk if I'm making myself clear here but I'd greatly appreciate any tips that you may have for me. Thanks in advance!

Edit: As pointed out in responses so far, my issue lies in not knowing how to properly ask the internet the question which I want answered. It's mostly a discussion about precise legal point that I seek in a judgement or academic article.

Depending on your search engine there's all kinds of things you can do from excluding results that contain specific words, matching exact phrases, or searching for specific file types.

I'd recommend finding a cheat sheet for Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or whatever else you use.

Thanks for the cheat sheet idea! That might help!!
