Default Now, Google Groups does this:

Yes, "Google Advanced Search" has vanished.
But, now, Google Groups does this:

Some of the Usenet threads/topics I've been in:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/Alt.Free.Newsservers/Jeff$20Relf|sort:date
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/News.Software.Readers/Jeff$20Relf|sort:date
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/Comp.OS.Linux.Advocacy/Jeff$20Relf|sort:date
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/Sci.Physics/Jeff$20Relf|sort:date

Also, you can use Google Groups to point to an article, like this:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!or...I/0Eg5aLNbi0UJ

Which is a link to the source, header and all, unformatted.

â‹…ANDâ‹…, when you hit the big "Back Arrow" button,
it places you on the proper article, in the thread/topic,
properly formatted, on the proper page of the thread/topic ! !

Sure, you can't search by Message-ID ( which never really worked ),
and you can't really seach all of Usenet ( it's VERY poorly indexed ),
but you can still find/link to your articles, in your newsgroups.

Articles that spawn a huge thread/topic, lots of replies,
are more likely to be indexed, so they appear in a normal Google Search.

Remember, Usenet is a freeâ‹…forâ‹…all, uncensored/unmoderated.
So, unlike Wikipedia, Usenet articles aren't likely to float
to the top of your search results.
----------
Lowâ‹…Cost, Textâ‹…Only servers are the fastest and most reliable; to wit:

Glorb: http://glorb.com/contact.php , ask for "unfiltered access".
BlueWorldHosting: http://usenet.blueworldhosting.com

When not overloaded, <some binary servers>[*] are good too; for $5,
you get more than enough gigs, assuming you don't download binaries.
[ *: "usNews.BlockNews.NET:119" and "News.US.Usenet-News.NET:119" ]
