Well, "direct of the preposition" has no meaning; did you mean "direct object?" Since this is what is probably meant; the direct object of a preposition can usually be determined by asking "what?" immediately after the preposition, ex:

"Mary searches for retail websites that feature fluffy bunnies."

"Mary searches for what?"

in this case, "websites;" notice that every word (other than "websites") after "for" just modifies the word "websites" in some way. Although she might ultimately be searching for (fluffy) bunnies, here, it is an indirect object in this sentence.

"Mary searches for fluffy bunnies on retail websites."

Now "Mary searches for what?" returns the direct object "bunnies."
