[edit reason] Example.com is our favorite "example" domain. No one will ever own it. [/edit]

There's many, many threads on exactly this issue; read a few, and come back if they do not answer your question.

No problem.

Go to the top of the page, look for a link to "search"

click on it.

A new page will appear with three boxes, each with a button, marked Google, Yahoo! and MSN Search (which works as Live search).

Choose one.

Enter (in the box) [domain trademark]

Don't enter the square brackets too; they are there to show you that the words inside are the search term.

Click on the button to the right of the box you just typed in.

A few seconds later, a new page will appear, with a selection of threads, including a title and a few words including your search term [domain trademark].

Choose one that looks interesting, then go back and choose another.

Not so hard :)
