All:<div>Has anyone been able to successfully search Google's Usenet archives? I am able to get basic results through browsing, but anytime I try to put in a specific search it returns no results (even when there are *definitely* results). Trying to sort or search by date is the biggest problem. I can get access to a group (such as comp.protocols.dns.std), but it lists from the most recent posts first. The "list by oldest" filter doesn't work, and I cannot possibly click "Older" enough times to go through 30k posts.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The last time I was able to perform good searches was back in September. I found a Wired article that addresses this at the end of the past year, and commented that Google had fixed or was fixing the problem, but I still can't make any productive use of this system.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This Usenet archive should be a vital component of my research, if I can get to it. Are there any other Usenet archives that go back to the early 80s other than Google? I was under the impression that Google was the only one.</div>
