I don't know anything about this, but it would have been nice to have the 'G G' functionality in Gnus back. > And few related questions: > Is/was gmane unique amoung NNTP servers in providing a search interface? I don't know, but I think so. > Is/was the interface between gnus and gmane a custom thing? Yes. But it should be easy to find the format from the Gnus code. I think it involved an HTTP call and an XML response with the search results...? > Is there any standard way to search NNTP servers? Not that I know of. > Is there any way, short of running a news server, to download the > gmane.emacs.gnus.general archive? I don't know.
