Usenet search engines

Sometimes you may find it very hard to find specific postings in the usenet. Unfortunately, the usenet protocol itself does not offer a reasonable way to search for specific postings.

Search services

In the mean time, you can find some services (or communities) on the Web, which let you easily search for specific usenet-postings. These Usenet search engines (also called NZB search engines) let you download the search results as NZB files.

These NZB files contain all the information required by a Usenet Download Software, to find the desired postings and to download them from the Usenet.

News File Grabber

is such a Usenet software, and can directly process these NZB files.
