Search public domain what? Software? News? Books? And why limit it to
public domain? Do you have a need for material that you can use without
worrying about copyright limitations? Very little of the material posted
to news is public domain, and you will find no books in the last 17
years that are. Some software is released that way, but not much.

It depends on what you are looking for.

If you are looking for software from an ftp site, you can use archie to
look for file names. If you have access to WAIS, you can search the
ftpable-readme's database for keywords.

If you are looking for books, you can telnet to many University
libraries. OSU's library is available at oasis.kerr.orst.edu. 

Or, if you are looking for material from this newsgroup, you can either
1) find the raw newsspool and grep for the words you want, or 2) get a 
gopher client and make a link to skyking.oce.orst.edu port 70, and in
the area "Information from the Coastal Imaging Lab", you will find a
WAIS database for the sci.image.processing archive. 

Obtaining gopher would be your most productive method. The library
catalogs I mentioned earlier are available through gopher at the UMN
gopher server. 

If you haven't the slightest clue as to what archie or gopher or WAIS
are, talk to your system admin. He should be able to get them for you.
The instruction on how to obtain, install and configure these packages
are beyond the scope of this group.

I think the orig poster was talking about archie, the ftp archive finder.

Try "archie keyword"
