    Hello,

    my access is exclusively on mobile. I use NewsTap for that and was
    wondering if the absence of a server side search function is intentional of
    the client. Or is how Usenet was designed.

    Question arises because I would prefer not to submit questions for which answers exist already in old feeds. Without having to, slowly, download all
    of them first.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I am not an NNTP expert, but I only know the possibility to search
    locally.
    You can also use public archives like Google Groups or narkive.com to
    search the group, even 20 year old articles can be found.

    Simply use

    site:narkive.com search term in Google, Bing etc.
