It can seem challenging to find a source that exactly fits your topic. You probably won't find anything specific. Use keywords about your subject and search for those so that you can find a variety of sources that could help you. For example, I am researching macronutrients for a speech, and I need sources from the ATU database. Instead of just searching "macronutrients," I searched "carbohydrates" AND "fats" AND "proteins" using the advanced search options. This search process gave me a lot more information to use. Overall, I recommend using the advanced search tools available.
