FYI, in the TeX world, one can go in on CTAN <http://ctan.org/> and make a search <http://ctan.org/search/>. However, with the TeX Live package <http://www.tug.org/texlive/> installed, that is rarely needed.

It is possible to publish electronically these days. Some journals may, I am told, when a paper is accepted, just publish the link to <http://arxiv.org/>.
