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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

It is certainly custom, several others are implemented, but I don't know if they are of any use any more: · http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/gnus/nnweb.el#n45 > Or is there a standard way to search NNTP servers that I am missing? 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· https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ballou-nntpsrch-04 Best regards, Adam -- "The laws of perspective have been repealed!
