1 - Find the salient keywords - For example, we might search for "How does Oracle insert rows with SQL*Loader". This would generate the following keywords and "or" for synonyms (denoted by a "|"
:
"sql*loader" | sqlldr
conventional | "direct path"|
insert
Hence, a query might be "sql*loader"|sqlldr conventional|"direct path" insert.
2 - Run a standard query - Search for your keywords, noting double-quotes and "or" operators, as needed (i.e. "direct path" sql*loader).
3 - Site-specific search - If this query returns junk, try a search against a high-quality site: "site:www.hey-there.com keywords"
4 - BC search - You can add "bc" to any search string to return a high-quality BC site.
5 - Recommend a book - You can do a site search to recommend a good related Oracle book: "site:www.rampant-books.com keywords".
