Start with the most distinctive part of what you are looking for: an error message, a document title, a filename or a short phrase.
Try an exact phrase
Put a phrase in quotation marks when the wording matters. If there are no useful results, shorten the phrase or try another distinctive term.
Use context
Add the product, project or topic that gives the phrase meaning. A little context can be more useful than a long sentence.
Check the original source
Open the result and confirm its context and date. A search result is a route to a source, not a guarantee that the material is current or correct.
Understand the coverage
Pasty searches public results through its search provider. It does not provide access to private accounts or guarantee that every public page will appear.
