Here, too. Google has changed its format, and it's not documented
anywhere. If you use groups.google.com's search in a browser you can see
the new search-string, but there's no way to find out how to tell google
to return the found article as plain-text, so that gnus can display it.

Maybe one could work arround this by fetching the result's html page and
stripping the html-tags, but that would be really hard work...

It's likely that there's no API because google doesn't want that people
use it that way. People searching for articles at google via their
newsreaders cannot see the banners and ads...

Nevertheless, I've sent a mail to google and asked if usage of
groups.google.com in own applications is allowed, and if yes, where I
can read how it works.

Tassilo
