See notes at bottom of Google/Deja search page. Karl, Well there hype in the news release would lead one to believe there usenet search is `powerful' and new. Have you noticed that the beta usenet search tools (of google) are a pale shadow of what deja had going. It does give kind of a nifty thread view. But lacks the precision, and concise language of deja search. I saw their notes, but don't believe it should take so long to get a serious search interface assembled. Right now it only involves their own data base (6 mnths)
