Search group for "linus posix". On first response, click the 'No really, search for "linus posix" button, to discard the helpful "linux posix" correction.

Look at 23 message subjects lines and arrive here:

That convoluted process works for that single exact message.

What if you want to search for the early appearance of some two word phrase on Usenet? This used to be easy. It can't (as far as I can tell) be done now.

And that convoluted process is -considering Google has excellent search engine- a fucking stupid mess.
