telnet archie.doc.ic.ac.uk (there are others)

Login as user 'archie'.

at the prompt type 'prog somefile' where 'somefile' is what you want to
search for.

Note that unless you have pager set on, or set it to email you back with
what it finds, the output may well just scroll past on your screen.  IIRC
'help' will get you more detailed help.
