Questions drive research.

The most rewarding research projects start when topics you are passionate about turn into questions you want to explore.

Strategy:

Before you search, start by brainstorming a list questions. Write down all the questions you hope to be able to answer in your project as well as all the questions you are curious about. This work will pay off when you use these questions to generate great searches later!
