3. (A) On Friday, I found a book that was really interesting on Philosophy. So instead of looking under "words" in the Catalog, I looked under titles, and I found it. The other book, I had to go in "words." This gave me a lot of results, but I put the more words I put, the narrower the search became, which helped a lot when it came time to picking a book. (B) I did not really encounter any problems. The only problem I had was when I went under "words;" I made the search too narrow when I made the "location," "material type," and "year" specific. (C) I learned I should start with a wider search and then try to narrow it and search for specific things. If I start with a narrow search, it will be much harder to find results.

Sounds as if you learned something about searching. You can either start with a narrow search and widen it if you get no results or too few results or you can start with a broad search and if you get too many entries, narrow it down.
There's no foolproof way to do this. You learn as you do more searches.
