How can I quickly find synonyms as I search?

One of the best ways to find synonyms is to look in the documents returned by your first query. Pay attention to an author's use of professional vocabulary. You may see words that more precisely describe just what you are looking for. Also some search engines will refine your query by suggesting alternate keywords along with the results of your search.
