Deja News offers a huge, searchable collection of individual postings to Usenet News. Usenet postings for most news groups are available from early 1995 on. The content of this large collection of postings can be searched by newsgroup, author, subject, or posting date. Boolean AND/OR/NOT searching is supported (check the help file for the and/or/not symbols to use) as well as truncation, proximity, and phrase searching. The results produced from a Deja News search can be sorted by relevance, group, date, or author. Usenet messages can be posted from a form on the Deja News site. This service offers a powerful interface to searching the mountains of information available in Usenet news.
