Just whatever. Ill just try whatever pops into my head first. Or what Im looking for exactly. If I dont get the results Im looking for, I change it up.

Like, if Im looking for a certain video and know the name, I might look up the video by name. But it if doesnt pop up, Ill type something else in.

But for something more vague, I might not put in too much info, and look it up. And maybe add more if I need it to be more specific... If I know anything else...

So, it depends...

Depends what question I'm trying to answer. If it's something really specific, I'll toss in some pseudo-natural language phrasing to narrow it down. Not usually typing out a full, normally-structured sentence, but I'll toss a few verbs and articles in there as needed. If I'm just looking for more general information, though (like what would be answered by your "What is ___?" example), I'll just keep it simple.

I remember when rephrasing the question actually generated different results.

Now Google tries to show me what it thinks I'm looking for, not what I'm actually looking for.

I start with simple. If there are way too many answers coming back that arent related to what I want, I use quotes, AND & OR.
