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

[...] 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 (# . group)) gnus-group-make-web-group(nil) call-interactively(gnus-group-make-web-group)
