Gmane used to provide search to which I became highly addicted ;-)
But 'G G' on a gmane group has produced errors like this ...
open-network-stream: search.gmane.org/80 Name or service not known
... for over a year :-(
Also, the gmane blog http://home.gmane.org has not been updated for over
a year. Is there any reason to believe that gmane search will start
working again?
Am I correct in believing that gmane was unique amount NNTP servers in
providing a search interface, and that the interface between gnus and
gmane was a custom thing?
Or is there a standard way to search NNTP servers that I am missing?
TIA - George

One can always hope, but it is kind of dwindling.

It is certainly custom, several others are implemented, but I don't know
if they are of any use any more:

There was at least one proposal, I don't know if it was ever
implemented anywhere:
· https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ballou-nntpsrch-04
Best regards,
