Searching A.W.E. isn't difficult - though the project would be glad to hear of the difficulties you have. Suggestions for improving the way to search the guide are welcome. (See how to contribute to AWE.)
You may want a quick answer to an immediate question, perhaps as a result of proof-reading an assignment, or a question about a particular word. Start by entering what you are looking for in the 'search' box to the left. Sopmetimes the article that might help you best would be about the prefix or suffix of the word, sich as -ing.
The word you are looking for may not be in the guide as an individual entry: it could be dealt with a by more general article. Or you may be looking for an answer to a more general question, such as the spelling rule for a particular sound or set of letters ('I before E', for example.) In this case, use your imagination to search the database. If you cannot find it, look in the list of categories to see if which one suits the purpose of your search best.
