A keyword can be many things. Finding keywords for your research means finding words that are related in some way to your topic. They can include exact words or synonyms for a word, broader or narrower terms, concepts, names of people, places, and more.
A keyword search means you type the keywords that you have identified into a catalog, database, or in a search engine. If you have identified good keywords, your search results will provide meaningful and relevant information on your research topic.
