Richard,

   Your question is very broad. Different approaches are appropriate for
different scales.

   On your local host, try the HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs, the locate command,
and grep in a specific subdirectory.

   External to your location a Web search tool (e.g., the ubiquitous Google
or the non-tracking duckduckgo and lxquick).

   There are broad Web fora such as linuxquestions.org and stackexchange.org.

   Much depends on just what information you seek.

Rich
