The i386 Everything files are at:

ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/


According to its entry in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo, the [Everything]
repository baseurl is:

baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/

If you successfully installed F-7, you already have this in
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo, unless you were so foolish as to try and
edit that file by hand. Yum is configured to access that repository by
default. There's no reason to muck with these entries--certainly not the
ones that come from Fedora. I promise you. You don't know better than
Fedora. Leave those files alone.

When looking for a particular package, use commands like:

yum list |grep [pattern]
yum info [file]
