Select your search terms carefully

You are usually searching on the creator’s/publisher’s file name, title, tags, description. For images possibly the text immediately surrounding the image

Some databases have minimal descriptions of the content if any

You won’t be using Google all of the time – most tools will not automatically search for variations and synonyms of a term

Also, not all media may be available in your location. You may have to find another version of the tool or a country version e.g. BBC content
