I should have mentioned that I know of nnweb, and while it probably
contains all the necessary "machinery" to do what I want, it doesn't
do so yet.

What I want (that it doesn't do), is to 
 1. constrain it to a newsgroup
 2. get real articles from the newsgroup if I can, fake them from
    search results, if they have expired on the server

I would also like to do this from a *Group* buffer, with other
articles from threads the matches appear in, interleaved.

But I'm not clear on how this should look, and work.  And it would
involving integrating two backend... hm...

Maybe create a temporary "search group" for a particular group...?
