While SMF naturally incorporates a powerful search engine, knowing how to use it is not surprisingly the key to returning successful results!
Assuming the forum is running the SMF default theme (or a derivative of it), there should be both a simple Search field (partnered by an Advanced search text link) in the collapsible top section and a Search option in the main menu. If not, the main menu Search option should still lead straight to the advanced search screen.
