   The people who never searched before posting were the ones who would ask   
   the very same questions which had been answered a million times prior.   
      
   And, sure, the Google Groups dejanews implementation of the   
   no-account-needed web based Usenet-only search wasn't all that great   
   compared to the normal Google search engine - but it was the best we had.   
      
   This is all we've got now, that's updated, as far as I know, where   
   what would be nice is if people who know more add to the list.

   Message-ID search engines (which aren't even close to the same thing).   
       
       
       
       
      
   If you know of something better for a web based no-account-needed   
   Usenet-only search engine, please add it to the list above.
