How to search for a particular opening on the Internet I am very new to forum and formal chess play.  Please bear with me.

I would like to be able to search for an opening that is being used.  How would I search for that on Google or another search engine?  I do not know many opening names, only a few.  Would I use E3 white...etc.?  Any guidance on this will be appreciated.
My advice to you would be to start off by learning 2 openings in chess. Italian Game (white)and French Defense(black), those will help you learn chess in many types of positions, both closed and open games.

This will provide you with many more openings, and their statistics. Although don't focus too much on the statistics, as those won't win you a game.
