1. What is justice?
2. I used the search terms: Justice and Philosophy, and then I narrowed the results by: justice and philosophy > philosophy > justice. Yes, they did work because I found many results that grappled with definitions and the purpose of justice.
3. No, I did not try alternate terms as my initial search was successful.
4. My results were perfect; I had 81 results, which is just right. Around 100 is an appropriate amount of results, because the results can be sorted through fairly quickly and there is still a large base of sources to choose from.
5. Almost all of the results answered my question either explicitly or implicitly. While some applied justice to certain topics, there were still implicit definitions and concepts of the purpose of justice in the sources.
6. Boolean operators can be used to either broaden or narrow a search. In the case of "and," it will narrow the search, whereas in the case of "or," it will broaden the search.

This is a really big question. That's why you got plenty of results and why you may not have needed alternate terms.
You would have trouble writing a research paper on this topic, however, because it's too broad. Whole books have been written on this subject and still not covered the enormity of the topic.
