   every message completely. I did a quick search, manually, on the three   
   messages directly up the tree from this one for the word "Trump" and I did not   
   find it. I can not easily    
   do a text search on the content of messages on the nntp group. Do you have a   
   message-id?

   You can use Offline Mode and sync the server content with your client, so   
   the client has a copy of all the messages currently on the server.   
   Then when you search the group, you get a more realistic sample   
   of the message bodies and claims about what somebody said.
