Newsgroups that support searching (on the server side) do so via Xpat. In any case it will /NOT/ be limited to just From and Subject -- if it's available at all it will include at /least/ those headers returned by XOVER. Some servers don't support it at all, some only allow searching in XOVER headers and some allow searching any header. But filtering in most newsreaders isn't done via asking the server to only return articles which match a given criteria, but by the client requesting the headers to be filtered on and then the filter is applied by the client. This is most commonly done via XOVER, with XHDR running a distant second. -- J.B. Moreno
