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.
With Linux related issues, it’s usually a good idea to include the name of the distro.
For example: debian apt unmet dependencies
or even: arch wiki nvidia
When looking for information about a particular rock, add the word “mineral” in the search query. If you forget to add it, you’ll usually end up reading about some mystical and magical properties you can still probably include in your next D&D campaign. If you’re feeling extra technical, try adding mindat or webmineral
Example: Chrysocolla mineral
Technical: Chrysocolla webmineral
