First decide what type of mic you need.
Omni (for groups of people), cardioid (rejects some side noise), or hypercardioid (rejects more side noise).
A shotgun mic is more difficult to use indoors. Because it reaches out a shotgun will often pickup unintended echo while indoors if you turn up the volume. This makes the audio sound cheap.
A hidden gem for indoors is the AKG8000. It has great noise rejection and it's a dynamic hypercardioid mic, but as a loss leader two are sold for $50! Its much better than those chinese shotgun knock offs.

Do you need phantom power, does the mic have a battery?
Next price point up you might look at the AT897 (shotgun) or Rode Video mic, etc.
After you narrow it down, then you can search.

On the right side do a "search this forum"
You can't search for 3 letters or less, so mic is out.
You might try brand names like Rode, Audio Technica, sennheiser, etc. Or specific models like the AT897, etc.
