Is there an online resource about chess openings, that would let me look up openings by first move...?
... by first move rather than by name. For example, instead of needing to know it is called "Benko's Opening" I could just enter the first move "g3" and get a list of openings and variations that start that way? So I could study based on what I need to know, rather than by being expected to already know the name of the opening?
Hope that made sense!

Search for 1. g3 at this site:
Chess Opening's Statistics http://www.czyzewski.org/chess/open-stats.html
Also: ECO is organized by moves, not by names.
Encyclopædia of Chess Openings (ECO) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopaedia_of_Ches...

I play chess too but never have studied it much. I bet I've played 30,000 games on http://www.pogo.com/ I get caught up in those 1 minute games, however, and that's bad chess.
Here is something I found for you...may not be quite what you're looking for but interesting:
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/explorer
What may help you is to know how to navigate www.google.com or any other search site better.
If you will put your search in quotes such as "chess openings from E3" then it will only give you search results that have those exact words in it exactly how you entered it. This will greatly help you to find what you're looking for when searching. If it doesn't produce good results then change it up a little.
If you already knew this then forgive me.
Perhaps we can play on pogo sometime. My name there is spiritandtruth_
