Yes, google works but

a) It didn't work for my particular query as I was looking for something
quite recent - there's a bit of a lag before google's spiders come crawling.

b) A local search should surely be quicker and certainly better for
transatlantic bandwidth :-)

Actually, I'm not even sure about the quicker - google is faster than a very
fast thing.
