| Synonyms May Help SUMMARY: Vary your search engine keywords to provide a greater variety of results.
Are you having trouble finding results when using Internet search engines? If your searches end up with few results, or you don't think you're finding the right type of information, consider using synonyms for your terms. For example:
* Instead of searching for "car", try "automobile".
* Instead of "amphitheater", try "auditorium".
* Instead of "country", try "nation".
To find possibly more descriptive words for your term that may provide better search engine results, you can consult an online thesaurus. Here are a couple of online thesaurus websites you can try:
