I've generally found the MARC search engine to be useful. Gmane is sometimes OK as well.
But Google is obviously better...
Not in my experience. Both MARC and Gmane allow you to narrow down your search by list, author and date, which gives them an advantage over a simple keyword search in certain situations. Even when Google was indexing the lists, I found it to be pretty poor by comparison.
