How are people doing searching?

What is your preferred method in doing a search on usenet? When using Altbinz search buttons you are essentially searching another searcher. Just makes it easy all in one interface. Right now I just use Binsearch and then work from there. I really wish Altbinz would incorporate the ability to download headers into a database (SQLite) then let the user perform a search on those indexes. Maybe this is a new function coming? I'm always looking for the best way to do searches and why not see how other people are doing it.

omgwtfnzbs is turning out to be quite a useful tab, especially with tv release group LOL not always posting their stuff on the newsgroups lately.
