There's a delightful insight here that I've seen in several different fields, which is not commonly taught in school: when trying to research a thing, first find out what other people have called that thing.
When we were researching the possibility of having cell towers on solar planes or blimps, we had trouble locating other efforts to explore the same until we stumbled across the verbiage "High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS)" and unlocked a wide body of research and people that had investigated exactly this.
My best technique so far for doing this is to search in Google scholar for the plain English description of what I'm looking for, and then to go through the papers found to see the language and keywords used there. If I do another search with that keyword, do I find other papers talking about the same thing I'm talking about?
