Actually I just realize that search including the body is really
expensive since gnus needs to download all article's bodies in order
to
perform the search.
I don't know nntp protocol but that would be great if it had a search
command.
BTW I tried to use the google search thing ('G w' in the group buffer)
but unfortunately it always failed:
Couldn't request group: No matching articles
That's sad since it's one of the most attracting feature that google
offers when using its interface. Does it work for you ?
