If your keyword is too broad, think about subtopics instead. Example: Instead of searching for "essential programs", think about what programs would be included in that category: health, vocational, etc. Search for those topics instead.
Alternatively, if your keyword is too narrow, think about broader terms. Instead of Alzheimer's, you could try dementia, since Alzheimer's is a type of dementia.
