    so usenet researchers can access this vast usenet archive using
    either the blueworld nntp server, or the newsgrouper web server

    searching for text strings in xover header fields from the nntp
    server is recommended to find articles related to more specific
    search queries, e.g. newsgroup, subject, from, date, etc., then
    download some of those articles to search all non-xover headers
    and body for whatever you may be looking for ... it works great
    and often leads to other searches, whole newsgroup threads, etc.
