Finding web pages with SemantiFind is simple.
Just go to your search engine's search bar and start typing in the terms. When SemantiFind is active, you'll notice that as you type you get a type-ahead drop-down menu that lets you choose from various terms and their definitions.

There may be several different definitions of a given term and so the specific definitions are shown in brief to the right of the term with a longer definition popping out as you move up and down through the list of terms. So, for example, for apple you can choose from ‘the computer company', 'the fruit', 'the record label' and so on.
Choose the meaning that you intend either by clicking on that term or by hitting enter when that term is highlighted.
The term will show up in a small gray "bubble" in the search bar. Add more terms until you've specified what you're looking for. Note that if you put the mouse cursor over one of the bubbles its definition will be displayed in a pop-up.
You can delete terms from the search by selecting them and clicking on the "x" that appears. If you choose not to select a definition for a term, it will appear on the search bar but not in a bubble.

When you've finished specifying your search terms hit enter and you'll see the results page. Above your usual search results you'll see the SemantiFind results.

Each of the SemantiFind search results is marked with an icon showing the source of the result.

Just like with your regular search engine results, simply click on a link to visit the corresponding page. (The differences between your SemantiFind results and the regular search engine results is that they are (a) always going to be "on topic" because you specified exactly what you mean and (b) they have been added by SemantiFind users like yourself instead of a computer algorithm.)
