Hi Genie,

I looked at your "planes and boats and trains" ... if you put just that phrase in Google, you get too many unrelated hits. So I tried including the word "lyrics" and no luck. Then I tried the word "song" and BINGO, I found that Petula Clarke sang that song in the 60's. You can quickly find a key word on a page by using Edit/ Find on this page. Often when I'm searching for lyrics I try to include a phrase from the song inside italics and also the word "lyrics" or the word "song."

Another trick I like for images is to use the Google image search.

Also I try to vary the punctuation and use asterisks for wild cards. An example would be if I didn't remember the phrase exactly, whether is was plane or planes, so I might put plane*.

I didn't look for Prudence, but sometimes using other words likely to appear in the novel might help. Or you might search for a literature review. Many times after you see the kinds of hits certain words yield, you will get ideas for new "buzz" words.
