`
`BODY:
`Sept. 24, 1996--Deja News, the premier Usenet search engine, announced the release of version 3.0 of its popular
`Usenet search utility for the World Wide Web. Key features of the new release include a built-in newsreader, which
`allows Web users to read and post to newsgroups directly from the Deja News website without requiring separate
`newsreader software. With these new features, Deja News has become the bridge from the Web to Usenet for the 35
`million people worldwide with Internet access.
`For years, savvy internet users have mined the rich archives of Usenet, the largest on-line database in the world.
`With over 20,000 newsgroups covering topics from astronomy to Zymurgy, Usenet provides people with quick access
`to the information they are searching for. But, until now, users needed newsreader software to read daily news and to
`post to a newsgroup. With the 3.0 release, the built-in newsreader feature gives newsgroup access to anyone on the
`Internet.
`The new Power Search function gives readers a fast and easy way to search for elusive gems of information, by
`customizing the search with a variety of sorting options and filters, resulting in more accurate and relevant search re-
`sults.
`
`The changes make it easier for anyone with Internet access to search Usenet. As Deja News founder and chair-
`man Steven G. Madere said, "Although we were already the largest Usenet search utility on the Internet, we wanted to
`make it easier for all Web users to browse, post and search specific newsgroups."
`A feature especially handy for new users unfamiliar with Usenet is the newsgroup Interest Finder. A user can
`simply enter an area of interest in a search field, and Deja News will identify the newsgroups that talk about it, allowing
`new users to easily peruse the articles.
`According to Madere, Deja News receives and categories over 500 megabytes of Usenet articles a day. Proprie-
`tary technology allows Deja News to delivery query results with amazing speed. "With the creation of the unique al-
`gorithms in our proprietary software, we can deliver search results of over 85 gigabytes of material in less than two
`seconds," Madera said.
`Deja News has been in the Usenet search business since May, 1995. Deja News archives over nineteen months of
`Usenet articles, creating the most comprehensive Usenet library available to the public today. As an advertis-
`er-supported website, the search engine is free to users. Deja News is located on the World Wide Web at
`http://www.dejanews.com.
