There is a difference between "filtering" search results and filtering individual messages. If a message has 100 lines of text and an image, and you present only the image, you have filtered and edited the end product, presented the image without context, and general are profiting from that image without permission. That is not fair use or any other "public" thing. Google's search function for newsgroups already returns the entire message plus thread guide etc. Most newsgroup resellers usually offer some sort of image extraction service that allows end users to browse ONLY images taken out of messages, without the attached message.
The internet could live quite happily without usenet. In fact, it would be a much better place. Adult membership sites would be foolish to pay to support a network who's users turn around and distribute your content without permission.
