It's definitely degraded right now. If I go to
groups.google.com, check "google groups only", and enter search
terms of "Steve" and "red beans and rice" I get a large volume of
results that includes posts that click through to my past posts.
If I add "rec.food.cooking" to the search terms in an attempt
to narrow it down, I get zero results! Definitely borked.

To me it has the appearance of omitting the header, and the last few
lines of each each post from the search base.
