For my part, I generally search through O'Reilly Online (formerly Safari books. No association other that being a long time customer) for phrases around the subject until I find something that looks approximately right. I then read a bit of what I find in order to refine my jargon, and then search for the refined terms either on O'Reilly again, or on DuckDuckGo. It has always felt to me that just getting the correct terms down is 80% of the effort in researching existing tech. I'll also ask for recommendations from friends or other people I'm the industry. I think this is a fantastic question. Looking forward to see how others answer. I think my method could do with some improvement.
