Not everything you find on the web will end up being cited in your thesis, but that's okay, there are still a lot of uses for what you find:
1) Make slight tweaks to your keywords to see if the results change. For example see how the results differ for these searches:
2) Just because some or most of your search results are irrelevant doesn't mean they all are. You only need to find one relevant results from a search to make it worth your while! Each of these relevant articles was buried in irrelevant results about working with dementia patients
3) Try searching just one database or just one journal if you're getting too many results from other disciplines, but remember you're missing out on non-art perspectives.
You can search through a global database of theses (Master's programs) and dissertations (PhD programs). Keep these tips in mind!
