IIRC it was reported in Search Control Methods in Deep Blue from an AAAI
workshop in 1999 (authors: Hsu, Campbell, Hoane).  I have the paper somewhere
but not in front of me, so I hope I remembered properly.

Incidentally, the DB host software did have some selective search (but not
null-move), according to the paper.
