Hi Magnum,
I think that the cost of UE is currently $35 for 18 months. It's also updated
constantly.
There are no limits on cross group searching... I use it constantly, because
it's much much faster to do a search on the host server than it is to search
the headers saved on my PC.. and I have a fast PC. I don't know how they do it!
The only quibble that I have is that it doesn't notify me when someone responds
in a discussion thread. At least I haven't figured out how to do it. Xnews does
that and I got used to it there.
