Group,
I've seen recent posts indicating it is possible to do gmane and
google groups searches with gnus. I haven't done anything like this
since the dejanews days.
Can someone or ones post some examples of how this is done including a
few example search strings?

Gmane doesn't work yet. But it seems that Andreas already has
prepared a patch for it. :-)

None of that works for me. Thats why I asked for examples.
I always get an error no matching groups. Even on known
match strings I mean.
debugger output futher along.
Using gmane I get a bunch of suedo articles that are really all the
links on the lead page of gmane. Something like:
G w google "example zone files" returns:
( know you said gmane wasn't working yet....)
1 . 31-Dec [ 0: nobody ] ()
1 . 31-Dec [ 0: nobody ] () Home</a><br>
1 . 31-Dec [ 0: nobody ] () Reading</a><br>
1 . 31-Dec [ 0: nobody ] () Searching</a><br>
1 . 31-Dec [ 0: nobody ] () Subscribe</a><br>
[...]
Going to the second hit on nnweb using index search I find a little more
info, in particular:
You must have the `url' and `W3' package or those alternatives (try
`customize-group' on the `mm-url' variable group) installed to be able
to use `nnweb'.
Looking at that I guess I need to toggle it on and set w3m. I changed
over to w3m a while back for viewing html articles.
Looking up the suggested variable to customize I toggled it on and set
to w3m saved for future.
Now trying nneb I get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Couldn't request group: No matching articles")
signal(error ("Couldn't request group: No matching articles"))
error("Couldn't request group: %s" "No matching articles")
gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group("87vevpr3xl.fsf" (nnweb "87vevpr3xl.fsf" (nnweb-search "\"zone files\"") (nnweb-type google) (nnweb-ephemeral-p t)) t (#<buffer *Group*> . group))
gnus-group-make-web-group(nil)
call-interactively(gnus-group-make-web-group)

Which version of Gnus are trying with? Since the google part has been
fixed only recently, you'll need a version from CVS newer than
2006-02-03 (either trunk or the v5-10-6 branch (AFAIK)). You could
also download the latest version of nnweb.el from here:
<http://quimby.gnus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gnus/lisp/nnweb.el?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain>
...and make sure it gets used instead of the old one.

The fact that you saw some random content of http://gmane.org in the
summary buffer suggests that the http part of your setup is working
correctly.
