Hi List,

When I attempt to use a Google nnweb group, I get the following:

> gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group: Couldn't request group: No matching

Gmane searching works perfectly. I just wanted to know if anyone else
is having this problem (Google captcha nastiness, perhaps?) before I
file a bug.

Cheers,
WGG

There was a discussion about this in gmane.emacs.gnus.general in March,
but obviously nobody from the developers did fix it yet. It seems to
be nontrivial to keep this feature working.


Regards,

Michael.

Perhaps it would be easier to point this at some more stable search
engine API, maybe DuckDuckGo or something. I'll see if I can understand
nnweb well enough to send the developers a patch, otherwise I'll at least
submit a bug.

Sounds like a good idea. I volunteer to test your code if you get
around to develop something.

I don't think DuckDuckGo has a Usenet archive?

That would be appreciated. It should be possible to get the Google
search working again, but nobody has stepped up to the plate yet...
