As a google searcher, you need to learn from your search results.  Simply scanning the raw search results that google returns can be tremendously helpful.  What could you expect to glean from doing this?  You can acquire new search terms, new aspects of the controversy to look for.  You might discover 1) some better search terms that are useful for searching any controversy (such as the above search terms), 2) some better search terms for researching your specific controversy.  Learn from your search results, even your unsuccessful ones.  This learning might even entail learning which terms NOT to include and/or which terms to subtract from your search using the google search operator "-".  Here is a video to help you understand how google works and, therefore, to help you get better at using google:  https://www.google.com/insidesearch/howsearchworks/crawling-indexing.html
