The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method searches the current newsgroup for articles in range SearchRange in the CurrentGroup, where SearchHeader matches SearchPattern. The results are delivered via the GroupSearch event.

If a connection to the NewsServer doesn't already exist, a new one is created.
