A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the NNTP Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
Title : NNTP Full-text Search Extension
Author(s) : S. Waters, B. Hernacki, N. Ballou
Filename : draft-ietf-nntpext-srch-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 16-Jan-98
This document describes a set of enhancements to the Network News
Transport Protocol [NNTP-977] that allows full-text searching of
news articles in multiple newsgroups. The proposed SEARCH command
supports functionality similar to the [IMAP4] SEARCH command,
minus user specific search keys (i.e., ANSWERED, DRAFT, FLAGGED,
KEYWORD, NEW, OLD, RECENT, SEEN) and minus search keys based on
headers that do not exist in news (i.e., CC, BCC, TO).
The availability of the extensions described here will be
advertised by the server using the extension negotiation-mechanism
described in the new NNTP protocol specification currently being
developed [NNTP-NEW].

Send a message to: mailserv at ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nntpext-srch-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
