Re: [Newsgroups] Searching UseNet Question? What makes the Diffe
It boils down to which interface you are comfortable with. I'm happy with the indexing provided with my client, so I don't pay for an external service. They average out having the same results and times, but you do have to learn which search terms are better for your tastes. For example, "Harry.Potter.And.The.Witches.Goat.On. Mars", may not be as efficient a search term as "hpatwg" if it's a scene release. You can be more accurate by fetching headers from your own provider, instead of relying on a service that may not get it's headers from your provider. Downloading headers isn't nearly as bad as it was before compression became the norm. |
