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 if you registered within the last 30 days. 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 100 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. We allow 2 free searches per month if you registered NewsBin more than 30 days ago.

If you want to continue using the NewsBin Internet Search service, the fee is $15.00 USD for 3 months. To sign up, log into the new NewsBin Control Panel and select Internet Search under "NewsBin Product". Once payment is accepted, the search limit will be lifted. You don't have to change anything else with your NewsBin configuration.

Internet Search is only available in NewsBin 5.34+ and is 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.
