  You'll need to start learning the nomenclature for those pieces.
  
  For example the long straight pieces you have there with holes on top are "[Technic, Brick 1 x 12 with Holes](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3895#T=C)"
  
  The pieces with rounded ends are lift arms. You can browse through [the list](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=137) of them here or take a stab at their descriptions using the width and number of pin holes. For example the purple on you have there is
  
  * 1 hole wide
  * 9 holes long
  * as think as a normal LEGO brick (some are half that thickness)
  * Bent with 6 on one line and 4 on the other
  
    so "[Technic, Liftarm 1 x 9 Bent (6 - 4) Thick](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6629#T=C)"

  * I find [BrickSet](https://brickset.com/parts "BrickSet") a bit easier to browse for parts than BrickLink
  * Alternately you could install LDD (Lego Digital Designer), find the name of the part, and then search with that name
