To use the search function, click on the binoculars icon at the top of the screen, left of center.  It will open a window in which you can type the key word, and then click "find."  To continue to search for the key word, click "find again" as often as you need to until you find what you're looking for.  It doesn't take too long before you get pretty good at selecting specific key words that take you where you want to go.
