Kettlebells - Where is it in the database?

When I googled it, MFP showed up in the search with a calculator where you enter your weight and the number of minutes, but I can't find it in the database. Thanks.

I have the WORST time finding exercises in the database! That's why I usually don't log my exercise.

This is the first one I haven't been able to find, but then I don't do much variation - mostly walking or stationery bicycle.
