Type in the word or phrase of interest into Google search and then limit it by "book search" or "News search" (news search tends to give the best results). Scan through the various links, and read the sentences (or paragraphs or entire article if you so wish) that contain your phrase. This method tends to result in a better understanding of how the phrase or word might be used in a variety of contexts and how it relates, syntactically, to other expressions and phrases. Aside from news searches and book searches you can also try limiting your search by blogs.
