Brian and I have updated the NNTP search draft to be more in synch
with Stan's latest drafts.  This includes some big changes -
like removing charset declaration in the search command.
See URL below.

We would also like to add SEARCH to the list of extensions.  Stan -
do I work with IANA to make this happen, or will you?

I will find out the details on what needs to be done to facilitate this and
get back to you. However, I may not be able to get an answer until IETF 40,
so please be patient.
