Chinese sounds are not quite the same as English sounds, so there is more than one way to write Chinese words in English (or "Romanize") them. The Wade-Giles Romanization system says, "Tao Te Ching," while the Hanyu Pinyin more commonly used today says, "Daodejing," for example.
The Library of Congress provides a table that shows how different sounds look in different systems, specifically looking at the correspondence between Wade-Giles to Pinyin.
The University of California-Irvine provides the Pinyin Wade-Giles table.
This online Chinese Romanization Converter lets you type one English version of a Chinese word, and it will show you what the other common English version of that word is, so you can try searching things under that spelling, too.

Note: Doing a MERLIN Keyword Search on taois* will find items containing the word Taoism, Taoist or Taoists, but not items containing the word Tao. However, a search for tao* will produce hits containing Taos, New Mexico, which you do not want. Try keyword searches like this: (taois* or tao) and heal* to find works on taoist perspectives on health and healing.
