I've found I need to be creative and flexible with search terms when looking for something online. If you're looking at the manufacturer's site, usually they have the fabric sku listed, and you put that in the search engine. If you get multiple hits for things other than fabric, add the word "fabric" to the sku. If you don't know the sku, use the manufacturer's name, the designer's name, and the fabric line name. Or remove the designer's name and use just the manufacturer and fabric line. Try different combinations of the information you have. If you don't know the names or you're not getting any results, you can oftentimes find the fabric you're looking for by describing the fabric (i.e. "pink floral on white background fabric") and then click "images", and the search engine will pull up images with that description.
