First determine the case type (murder, theft, arson, accident), then search using domain-specific terminology
When the question describes a criminal or legal case and you need to identify the specific incident before answering detailed questions about it.
First classify the case type from the question description: murder/homicide, theft/robbery, arson/fire, traffic accident, assault, fraud, etc. Each type has domain-specific terminology that dramatically improves search precision.
Type-specific keywords:
Combine the case type keyword with the most distinctive constraint (amount stolen, number of victims, specific location, victim profile) for the initial search.
[case type] [victim characteristics] [time range] [location][case type keyword] [distinctive amount/number] [year range][specific detail] [case type] [country/city]Question: bank ATMs robbed of $200K-$400K, 15-35 ATMs, 2010-2023.

"school fire arrested teenagers misunderstanding students 2009 2021" — located the Malaysia tahfiz school fireSearching without case type keywords: Generic searches like "incident 2016 bank" are far less effective than "ATM malware theft 2016 bank". Always include the case type term.
