    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    Historical content remains viewable.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 posting to
    the r.a.t newsgroup & which allows unique references to recent articles.

    You can probably safely remove your Google Groups filters now.

    The people who never searched before posting will say the loss of the
    dejanews (which Google took over) Usenet-only search engine (which was available to everyone with just a web browser, and which only searched
    Usenet and which cost nothing which allowed the user to read the entire
    thread - not just one post like Howard Knight does - and which allowed
    users to reference the post to others who also had only a web browser,
    etc) is no big deal (to them!).

    But those people who say that are always exactly the people who never
    searched before they posted anyway. So they never needed a Usenet search.

    If you want to search before you post, then there will probably be new
    engines that come up, although none with the retention that Google had.

    The Usenet-only replacement search engine needs to be free to all, with
    just a browser, not needing an account, and having infinite retention.
