The easiest way is to use websites created for that purpose, such as
wikianswers.com, Google.com, bing.com, wikipedia.com, ask.com and others which present you with a blank space to type in what you want to search for. Type descriptive words, leaving out words such as "is","the", "and". You can also exclude results containing specific words. Some sites even recommend corrections for your spelling errors, and offer suggestions as you type by predicting what you are searching for.

For example: A search for the text: Where can I find a recipe for apple pie, might give the specific result you searched for, but but frequently will include results that are either close but not exactly it or have nothing to do with your search at all.

A search for: recipe apple pie will produce better results, but still might include unwanted entries such as an apple struesel recipe, or an article on eating mud pies under an apple tree... You can exclude those by attaching a minus ( - ) sign in front of words you want to exclude from the results. Exclude the struesel and mud pies by searching for: recipe apple pie -struesel -mud

Finally, use quotes to search for a specific phrase such as: "a program error has occurred: xx5a233". This would (hopefully) display what others have done when they experienced that specific error.
