Where do I search for a business name to see if the name is being used? i wanna sell online?

Question

Do I just register in my state if I"m gonna sell online like on ebay or if i make my own website? (I googled names of stores in my hometown and they didn't turn up online) I know my name i'm gonna use but I'm also realizing a lot of people haven't made a website with their company name, so what steps do I need to take (research wise) to see that no one's using my name? Unless a brick and mortar store name reservation is different from an online busienss?

thanks
