In that case, you'll need to go to a special kind of web site called a search engine.  A search engine is a web site that searches for other web sites.  There are hundreds of search engines, and they all search in slightly different ways. Two of the most popular search engines are Google and Yahoo!.

All search engines have a text box:

To use a search engine, click on the text box to make an insertion point appear in it, then type in the subject you are looking for.  Next, click on the "Search" button (or hit the "Enter" key).  In a few seconds, the search engine will show you a page--or maybe several pages--of links to web sites that match your subject.  Just click on the links that interest you!
