It's their site.. they broke it over a year ago in an 'upgrade' and have
been torturing us with it ever since. If you don't know the phrase
you're looking for from past experience there, it's a nightmare.
And no...they never hyperlinked the phrases that indicate that they're
links. Just never did it, in 18 months.
Use the search box in the top right corner to plug your phrase in and
you will generally get good results.
fatbrit's suggestion also works.
Many of the key, favorite links have been captured at
familybasedimmigration.com but I will warn you.. uscis.gov is using some
dynamic link thingie, and the links sometimes just change. Links you've
saved for a particular document will suddenly lead you elsewhere, so it
is worth learning how to get around their site the best you can.
There is a rumor that a tinyurl will preserve through the dynamic
linking, but I haven't tested that myself.
