Abstract

This document describes a set of enhancements to the Network News Transport Protocol [NNTP-977] that allows full-text searching of news articles across multiple newsgroups. This new search mechanism also allows search criteria to be saved into search profiles. Articles arriving on the server are checked against the profiles, and the articles that match are collected together for the client. The availability of the extensions described here will be advertised by the server using the extension negotiation-mechanism described in the new NNTP protocol specification currently being developed [NNTP-NEW].
