There's not a good way for a local client to search without first
downloading all the headers, which is the thing I guess you want to
avoid.

What else would one search on but headers?

Well, I guess I did imply there was some way for a local client to
effect a search without first downloading headers and that it's not a
good way to search. That would be XPAT, which tries to get the
nntp server to do the work of searching.
