If you're looking for terms to google, "epistemology" is the name of the field of philosophy that deals with the nature of truth and knowledge.

If you're looking for terms to google, philosophical fields that touch on the subject of truth include metaphysics, logic, and epistemology.

That's not really true. The study of truth goes across many subfields, including metaphysics and logic as well. In fact most of the work today on truth is on its metaphysics.

For example, I wrote my PhD thesis on truth and I don't consider myself to have an AOS in epistemology whatsoever; I'm firmly in metaphysics.
