The quotation is simply a gigantic understatement. Usenet search is broken in almost every possible way and she should have said so. First and foremost, I rarely get results that are actually in the archive, but pages from the main web search. Phrases from known existing posts do not return results any longer. Several Usenet providers have acceptable Spam filters, but Google apparently has none. Google as the buyer of the Deja archive has a responsibility here and they should live up to it (as they did up to around 2004).
