There's no reason why you should use the same method for reading
and posting on the one hand, and searching on the other. Unless
you keep years of messages in Outlook Express (which takes up a
lot of disk space and I don't recommend it), you don't usually
want to confine your searching to the messages stored locally on
your computer.
I recommend using a newsreader for reading and posting (I use
Outlook Express, but there are many others to choose from) and
Google Groups advanced search facility
(http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en) to search. Try
Google Groups.
