How to find a query in the SQL transaction log?

I'm using MS SQL 2000 Server. A few weeks ago I ran a fairly complex query against the database. Unfortunately I didn't save this query, now I need to run this same report. Is it possible for me to find this query in the sql transaction history logs? Can I do a search for part of my query to find it?

make that 3 to say: sorry ...
Also, SELECT statements will never be in the tran log...only DML statements, such as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE...and then only if you're in FULL recovery model.
