Choosing the right search term

Start with the obvious - if you're looking for general information on ethics, try "Ethics".

But it's often advisable to use multiple search terms; if you're looking for help with Ethics Advice, you'll do better with "Ethics Advice" than with either Ethics or Advice by themselves. And "Ethics Advice Hotline" may produce even better results.

You might also ask yourself if your search terms are sufficiently specific. It's better to search on "Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys" than on "Lawyer Rules". But choose your search terms carefully; Google looks for the search terms you chose, so "Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys" will probably deliver better results than "As a lawyer what should I do to follow ethic rules".
