In Ubuntu 18.04 When I click the activities and search for Software I do not get any results.
I need to add a software repository as described here. How to find it?

Which software are you looking for? Do you believe this software is already installed in your computer? Or are you looking for new software to install from the app store?– user68186Jul 29, 2019 at 12:02

Two possible methods are available for this, the GUI or using the terminal:
GUI:
- Open "Software & Updates"
- go to the "Other Software" tab
- click "Add.."
- paste your source there
- Close Software and Updates and allow sources refresh
(In older versions of ubuntu (including ubuntu 18.04) you could also open this from the top-bar menu of the "Software Center")
Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ disco main"
