Google Groups no longer supports new Usenet posts or subscriptions. Historical content remains viewable.
An updated web-searchable no-login web-search archive that reports a unique URL will need to be located that allows people to search before they post
to the a.c.f. newsgroup and which allows unique references to recent posts.

Nope, not needed. One, use the search in your own NNTP client. How
much you can search depends on the retention of your NNTP client.
Two, modus operandi is no one bothers to search any newsgroup before
posting.

rslight can handle that.

It offers various ways to search (although I dunno if regex is
supported) and the URLS to the articles seem to be static for me.

The problem is that you need your own archive. Not everybody has that. Sometimes it is also interesting to read stuff from 30 years ago that
almost nobody kept.

And, for many, you need to create an account, and maybe even pay for it.
None of that was needed to run a dejanews search (which Google inherited). >Your baby brother who was an English major could have run a Usenet search. >After yesterday you have to be an expert just to run an Usenet-only search.

Good riddance.
I'd agree with you only if Google had killed the posting ability, but
if Google kept the incoming feeds being fed into their updated search
engine.
The loss of a good (well, OK) search engine, is something to be sad
about.
You have a very bad attitude young man. <said in a scolding sort of way>
Your attitude is the same attitude many people with bad attitudes have.
People, like you, with a bad attitude, are terrible netizens because they never think to search for an answer before they post their questions, or they'd wrongly recommend a bad answer having never ever searched first.

I'm not so sure about that. I think the fact that Google was indexing
usenet posts was a motivating factor in the tidal-wave of spam we suffered. The spam was not so much aimed at the unfortunate readers of the affected groups, but was done more as an SEO hack.
