Before using Deja, I was using another, better newsgroup search engine. Forgot the name. It went belly up. Now I have been using Google to search known keywords that returned great information in Deja. Google fails to locate many posts I know exist in the newsgroup database.

You may have found the long list of Deja search results confusing, but I had found them to be very complete. My gripe with Deja was that it did not always properly flag me when new posts appeared in a thread I participated in.

Of course, I am looking forward to how well Google implements their newsgroup access - since I know of no other newsgroup database/search engine.
