This is my search engine for Usenet, currently only for the 1980s but I hope to have 2003 onwards searchable soon. I have about 2TB of news from 2003 which just needs indexing and uploading. http://www.dejadejadeja.com/10years/ My goal is to give people an alternative to 'Google Groups'. It's built on PHP and MySQL.
Once you've got this a bit more solid, I'd strongly urge you to submit this to HN.

It has a post date of: Wed Dec 15 10:30:01 1982, but is given as 1970-01-01 in the search results.
I'm seeing lots of 1970-01-01 results. A bug, perhaps?

It's easily fixable but I haven't got around to it yet.

Things were better, then. Yeah we had to contend with flash sites and low bandwidth, and didn't have slick css3 and backnode.js but the web was more fun in those days.
Flash sites? If the content didn't load in lynx it wasn't worth viewing.

I take it you're missing the 90s? (Alas, most of my Usenet usage was between 1994 and 2003.)
It's not possible to get Usenet from the 90s, as it simply isn't archived. 80s is archived via Internet Archive and you can get 10 years worth from 2003 via Usenet king GigaNews. Google Groups has the 90s, but it's locked behind a 'Googlewall'.
And I believe that is a crime against humanity.
What is this usenet?

Thanks for turning me on to the Archive.org's 'UTZoo archive', sadly it is only 1981-1991 and incomplete. What a shame. :(
