What about makin it possible, when searching for new posts, to display not all new usenet messages, but those messages, where board members have participated in?

Yeah, that should be easy. Usenet posts made by forum members can be identified by a '-1' in the isusenetpost column in the post table.

It might take me a few weeks to get around to it though. I'm in the middle of re-doing BritishExpats.com. It's still running vB 1.1.6 so I think it's about time I did something about it.

You can make the change yourself if you like. It's easy peasy. Find the line that was added by the usenet hack in search.php. It should read:
$wheresql.=" AND thread.isusenetpost=0";
Change that to:
$wheresql.=" AND thread.isusenetpost=0 AND post.isusenetpost <= -1";

If you just want threads that were started by members, change it to:
$wheresql.=" AND thread.isusenetpost <= -1";
