While you are browsing the effects, if you hover your mouse over the effect thumbnail you will see a preview of what the effect does.

There is a search bar for when you know the name of the effect you want to apply, but can't remember where it is in the list of more than 150 effects. If you know what sort of effect you want to apply, but can't remember the exact name, categories are a great way to find the effect you are looking for. There is also a catch all Other category for any that don't fit an obvious category. For example, you'll find all the effects that blur your image under the Blur category and all the effects that sharpen it under the Sharpen category.
