I became highly addicted to Gmane search but 'G G' on gmane has produced errors like 'open-network-stream: search.gmane.org/80 Name or service not known' for over a year :-( Since the gmane blog (http://home.gmane.org) has been static for over a year I am wondering, is there any reason to hope that gmane search will start working again? A few related questions: Is/was gmane unique amoung NNTP servers in providing a search interface? Is/was the interface between gnus and gmane a custom thing? Is there a standard for searching NNTP servers? Is it practical to download nntp://news.gmane.org archive in order to search them? TIA - George
