Indexer Coverage

Also known as: group coverage

Which groups an indexer scans and how completely, distinct from how far back its database reaches. A site tracking 200 binary groups will miss postings made only to a group outside that list, and gaps also appear when scanning breaks for a period. Comparing coverage between sites is why some setups query several indexers for the same search.
