I don't think doing AltaVista searches with Gnus will be all that
useful -- most "documents" reached via AltaVisa aren't "newsey", so
it's better to read them with a Web browser.  (w3, for instance).

Of course, searching the Usenet via AltaVista is a possibility, but
doesn't DejaNews store more stuff than AltaVista?  (I don't really
know.)

Not via DejaNews, no.  They don't offer searches on Message-IDs, as
for as I know.  InReference does, so perhaps I (or someone else) will
write an nninreference backend.
