Actually, the phrase "phage organelle", when enclosed in speech marks, is almost a googlewhack ;-)

However, there is one paper that refers to a phage tail as an organelle:

B.,

You mean "phage" or "organelle", yes? Phages, or bacteriophages, do not have
organelles so combining these 2 terms with AND is going to retrieve very few
entries.

As Michael suggested, you could try Bio::DB::Query, it's described in the
Beginner's HOWTO:
