OK, the haystack is huge and needles are tiny.

You have basically 2 options:
1. Select 'advanced' on the PIC FAQ line and use 'and' and 'or' between
the keywords to narrow down the list of hits (after reading the 'search
tips').
2. Wade through the pile of hits until you find where are looking for.

When someone posts here a vague question he'll get many wrong answers,
meaning a waste of time of people who tried to be helpful.
It will be much more effective to let the search engine do the 'dirty'
work and when it doesn't lead to a solution enter a request for
*additional* help here.  Working with the search engine helps define
your question more precisely, resulting more appropriate answers. And it
also helps if you show some proof that you did your best to find the
answer by yourself!

Anyway the search on Piclist is not as limited as you think, you'll also
find pieces of code.

On the other hand the "Piclist Source Code Library" is pretty well
structured, and in the Input/Output sections of the Asm, C and Jal
libraries you'll find pretty quickly the communications samples.
