If you want a definition of a particular term then use define: ’Word’ or ‘Word’ meaning to directly get the definition of the particular word.
Make Google Guess: If you want to find something and you cannot recall the exact term then you can use an Asterisk (*) instead of the word you forgot in you search query and Google will do the rest for you.

For Instance, If you wanted to search for ‘I want it * way’, Google would show you ‘I want it that way’.

Use math ~ glossary to find websites with math glossary and other terminology related to math.
