With Word, you can preface it with MSFT or use the year suffix, as Jon said (Word 2016, for example, or Word for Mac). And half the time, if you only type "word" you get Word results, anyway. Ditto Windows, but again, you can do MSFT Windows, or Windows 10, yadda and the search results make sense. SQL Server...I have to admit, I haven't had big issues searching that, but I'll defer if you have.

Mac Books is a good one. It comes up with Macbooks. Now if you search for "Mac Books" (with the quotes), you get results for Books about Macs and books about Fleetwood Mac.
Someone at Apple really need to rename books back to iBooks.
