The easiest and fastest way is to put in the set number into the search bar. The set number is located just below the LEGO logo on the box.
Another way is to do a keyword search. For example, using “Star Wars” to look for a set of instructions to find the instruction booklet for an Imperial Star Destroyer. This does turn up a whole range of Star Wars sets which you will have to look through to find the correct set.
