I have received few answers to my question. Thank you to Bricklen, Tanel and Edgar. Looks like the best/only way to search through ORACLE-L archives is googling. Search for my example can be: oracle-l "for update" site:www.freelists.org http://www.google.lv/search?as_q=oracle-l&num=100&hl=lv&btnG=Google+mekl%C4%93%C5%A1ana&as_epq=for+update&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=lang_en&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=www.freelists.org Question is how good is google indexes and how often goggle updates them. It can be suitable solution for searching through ORACLE-L anyway. One more useful comment: Do not forget that before www.freelists.org ORACLE-L has been located on fatcity.com.
