Keep in mind that keyword searching is not an exact science and you'll need to experiment with many different combinations to get the results you want.
Go in broad by searching with your main topic only. Then narrow your results by adding in additional keywords.
Search for each aspect of your topic separately.
Don't assume you're going to find one book or article that covers all aspects of your topic.
