It’s actually pretty easy to navigate. I suggest ordering the rows by Update Date or by Planet Radius. Earth-like planets will have a mass of around .0031*[Jupiter Mass] and/or a radius of .089*[Jupiter Radius].

Most analysis that I’ve seen is by radius, so I suggest sorting by Planet Radius and looking at the exoplanets with values in that column between .045 and .15. Planets with values above or below those are not going to be earth like, though if we can find a planet around .15*[Jupiter Radius] that’s as rocky as Earth that would be really cool. Happy hunting!

Cool planets to check out: Kepler-442b, Kepler-62f, Kepler-186f, Kepler-452b, Kepler-438b, GJ 273b, Kapteyn B, Trappist-1e, Proxima Centauri B, and GJ 667 Cc

And yes, exoplanet #9 is called 24 Sex C.

Planet sexy, ladies and gentlemen.
