What's your case for that being a Computer Use feat rather than a Research feat? Research is certainly the governing skill roll for such searches.
I would say that you need to be able to use a computer to do TL8 research (Though you can still do TL7 research in many archives). Computer Operation has the usual issue that these days the computer operation side of such tasks is made mindbogglingly trivial by user-friendly design.
I would argue that
having a default for Computer Operation should suffice to learn TL8 Research, at least in the latter stages of TL8. If you have no default or for some other reason cannot operate computers at all, you're out of luck. EDIT: And you might have some difficulty if you can attempt such rolls, but are bad enough at them that a +10 TDM nuisance roll has a significant chance to fail.
EDIT2: I think I found it.
