that is not possible.
newzleech tab lists all groups available on their search engine after you press search the first time you restarted alt.binz
So if it not in the list it is not available.
In order to add it you have to ask for it on newzleech forum

You can try another search engine like binsearch.

You misunderstand.  It isn't possible to add a group to *any* of the search engines in Alt.Binz.  Only the search site admins decide which groups are indexed and which are not.  So if you want a new group to be indexed by Newzleech, you have to go to the Newzleech site and request it there.

Otherwise you could try a direct search on your server with Xpat (if your server supports it).  Read the wiki.

In the group tabs, i pressed "list all groups"
i entered "font" as keyword and saw alt.binaries.fonts.flood and alt.binaries.fonts.floods
The second one has messages in it, not the first one. Be careful to point the good one to newzleech

BTW, i am lucky enough to have a NG providers that allow me XPAT
So in XPAT tab, i checked alt.binaries.fonts.floods and entered "." as keyword (smallest and, i guees, most common to have most of the messages in the group)

As a conclusion, if your NG provider allows you to XPAT (i dont know what it means btw) you dont need any search websites, just search by yourself :)


Hope this is not too bad english  ;D
