Original question by @wabasso@lemmy.ca

Whether you’re using a search engine or LLM, what are some keywords that help turn up more specific and/or richer content?

I was once taught to add the term “physiology” when looking up medical topics to turn up more content that doctors would consult.

Also the acronym “SEM” is great if you want to see microscopic images of things, even if they aren’t strictly performed by a Scanning Electron Microscope.

    Not exactly what you’re looking for but it’s also helpful to exclude results. You can do this by having a “-” with no space before a term you want to exclude.

    For example, if I want to search for pictures of the dish “ratatouille” and not screenshots of the Disney movie, I would type “ratatouille - movie -Disney”

    Edit: not sure why there’s a space after my hyphens in the post. They’re not there when writing.
