By newsgroups do you mean Usenet newsgroups? If so, it might be a lot simpler to use Solr, unless you want to build an "NNTP crawler"
I did do something like that over a decade ago. I used it to find people and build a White Pages directory (this was big in the 90s :) called POPULUS: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.populus.net/ Hmm, was that really a social network? :) http://web.archive.org/web/19970430081213/www.populus.net/populus/search-by-interest.shtml Sorry for the OTism.

Basically would like to build a searchable list of newsgroup content. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -John
