Using 'title' in your search terms limits your search to document titles only and can then be combined with other operators and terms to find additional information.
The following search:
pollution @ title near ocean (or title (pollution) near ocean)
will find all those files with the word 'pollution' in the title which has been combined with the 'near' operator to link information from the text of the document about ocean.
The text inside the title can also contain other operators as well, such as synonyms eg: title (westpac or suncorp); title (australian taxation office or ATO).
