NewsBin Internet Search

Our Internet Search service is an optional feature which is integrated in the Search tab within NewsBin. You have 10 free searches to give the service a try. Make sure the dropdown box is set to "Internet" and any searches will be sent over the Internet as a query into a database containing references to 240 days of Usenet posts from most of the alt.binaries groups. Results are returned within seconds and are displayed in the Search tab. You can then choose which posts you want to download from your News Server just like you normally would from a NewsBin Post list.

If you want to use the NewsBin Internet Search service, there are two options:

To sign up, log into the NewsBin Control Panel and select the Search product you want under "NewsBin Product". Once payment is accepted Internet Search will work as long as NewsBin is registered with the same key reflected in your Control Panel screen. You don't have to change anything else with your NewsBin configuration.

Internet Search is only available in NewsBin 5.34 and above as an optional service. The Local Search function which searches previously downloaded headers still exists in NewsBin. You can switch to it by changing from "Internet" to "Local" in the Search tab.

Feel free to send comments or suggestions to us through our NewsBin Technical Support Form.
