A librarian in Denver told me my 'deep dive' method was just using the internet wrong
I was looking for old maps of my neighborhood and kept hitting dead ends with regular searches, so I asked a reference librarian for help. She basically said, 'You're treating the web like a library catalog; try specific archive sites and follow their citations instead.' I switched to that method and found way better stuff, but now I'm curious what other non-algorithm search tricks people have picked up from experts.

Wait, a librarian actually said that to you?

No way, @evayoung, that's wild.
