In addition to the prior poster's suggestions, always a good idea to check the airline web sites. Sometimes they carry fares not on the more general sites.
Skyscanner is subscription based, but Kayak is free to all. Also free are Orbitz, Expedia, and Google (flights).
Don't wait too long. While one really never knows, the odds are that fares will start going up maybe 6-8 weeks before a flight.
A more challenging but powerful search site is matrix.itasoftware.com . It is usually referred to here as either "ITA" or "matrix".
It really is more a manner of hard work than secrets.
