The one I use is Agent 4.2 from http://www.forteinc.com . It's $29.00
and worth every penny.


I tried Free Agent (I'm cheap ;-)), and found no way to produce a subset
of the newsgroups by filtering the full list on one word, such as
"garden". In T'Bird, it's easy, there's a box in which you type the
search string (word). How does Agent 4.2 handle this task?

TIA
Searching is a breeze with agent 4. Search globally if you need.
Search any word.
Filters are as simple as right clicking on the header. Choose name of
poster or choose title of post. Select any one word of that post and
it will filter all posts with that word in it.
Not sure what you mean about subset.
