Its truly hard to believe that with truncation, parenthesis, AND, OR, Not can make such a vast difference in the search critique. Just typing in the word yield good results but didn’t seem to be much focused on the particular statement as a whole. My experimentation with truncation was dangerous I used it and had 1 hit of over 867,000 results. With some further revision and proper truncation my results got narrowed down to 264 now this was doable as opposed to the later.

Your summary was good - truncation is dangerous isn't it? You do have to be careful. I don't see any annotations of each article though.
