General search planning tips:

• Write down key concept words: coffee, caffeine,
• Combine your terms:
  coffee AND addict* AND "chemical compound"
• AND between your terms means that all your words have to be found in the results
• addict* will search for addict, addicts, addicted, addiction, etc.
• "chemical compound" will be searched as a phrase, not as separate words
