How to search for information on web.archive.org?

For example, let's take a fresh article:
https://habr.com/ru/post/443898/
It has been archived several times already (I don't know exactly, automatically or manually):
https://web.archive.org/web/*/ https://habr.com/ru/...
And now a question. Give clear step-by-step instructions on how this content can be found (after its removal, for example) from the main page of the archive - web.archive.org.
As a last resort - how can this be done from a search engine, anyone.
Anything can be used as a key. For example, the title of an article, or the unique phrase "Many toys will stop working or fall off every 10 minutes of online play." It is not possible to go to the archive copy.
And without a search, all these attempts at archiving look of little use.

If you know the URL of the desired page, then the task is very simple. Just enter this URL in after searching the WebArchive. The saves of this URL will be visible in the calendar. If it doesn't show anything, then the given URL was never saved.
If the URL is not known, then it will be extremely difficult to find by keywords. The Web Archive has a text search, but it's so bad that it will show single results for entries on very ancient saved pages. But more often it will not find anything, no matter how much you narrow the parameters in the search.
If the keywords are contained in the CNC, then you can open the table of saved URLs:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/habr.com/*
Attention, for large sites, the table will take a long time to load, it will load only 100,000 URLs. Wait for the table to load. At the top right above the table, after loading it, you can enter a part of the CNC that will filter the results.
