Re: Why doesn't search really SEARCH?!

I once made a similar post in a rude manner. It seemed as if one particular
poster had the power to make my posts not appear.

It turned out to be a combination of factors:
1) the newsgroup was heavily used -- lots of posts like this group.
2) I had my Outlook Express Newsreader set up to get 300 or some other
specific number of headers at a time.
When I menued to Tools -> options -> Read and about half way down, in the
News section, unchecked the Get box, the newsreader started getting all
headers, and my postings were not lost any more.

Let us know if this help and if it doesn't.

Strange, I wrote replies to this thread 3-4 hours ago and they're not
showing. They are showing in my Sent Items folder, and replies I made
after them in other threads are showing.

Yes, if you want it to work a certain way, you should RTFM.
You can operate the latest devices (iPhone?) without reading a manual,

you're likely to have trouble figuring out how to do certain things.
You can't just jump from WinXP to Vista and expect to know everything.

rewrote the book. For example menus are hidden by default on all sorts
of
windows now..

When you have to pull out the manual to use a friggin search tool that
worked just fine for everyone way back in Win2K, something is wrong
(and it's not the user).
