Doing a raw usenet search with binsearch.info also?
Is it possible to also have it search using binsearch.info along with the indexers such as SU and Dog? The indexers are good, but sometimes I manage to find stuff through binsearch that I can't otherwise. Or maybe the direct usenet articles themselves?

If you enable the 'Experimental Search' option within Mylar, it uses nzbindex to search against.
From when I looked at binsearch, it would be abit different to get it working with Mylar simply because I'd have to parse every single page returned - whereas with nzbindex, it returns an xml in the format of an rss feed, so it's alot easier to work with.
I'm not saying no - if I get some time I can look into it, but it's probably not to be expected for awhile if I can do it. If someone else were to code the parsing part for binsearch, I'd have an easier time to implement it obviously

Ok, thank you... I was just curious, I'll keep plunking away at setting it up with it's current capabilities...
