Also known as: NZB search
Finding postings without downloading a group's headers, done by querying an indexer's web page or API. The search runs against the indexer's parsed release names rather than against Usenet itself, so results depend entirely on what that site has scanned and how well it parsed the subjects. Searching several indexers at once, usually through an aggregator, compensates for the gaps in any single database.
