Newsgrouper, my web gateway to Usenet, now has an option to search old posts downloaded from the Internet Archive. These run from the “Great Renaming” in 1987 up to 2013. The period after that is covered by the facility I already had to search BlueWorldHosting, which covers from 2003 to the present.

I now have archive files for the whole of the “big 8” hierarchies: comp humanities misc news rec sci soc talk. For groups where the archive search option is available you can find it by selecting a group and then clicking “Find Articles”. Newsgrouper is at https://newsgrouper.org.uk/ .
