• Google: include "site:debian.org" as a search term.

• Google Groups: a search engine for newsgroups. Include "group:linux.debian.*" as a search term.

• AltaVista

For example, searching on the string "cgi-perl" gives a more detailed explanation of this package than the brief description field in its control file. See Check bugs in Debian and seek help, Section 6.3.1 for related advice.
