there's something wrong with the search funtion on the site. Could

Thanks for responding so quickly!

Every time I search discussions I get no results returned. When I
first go to a catagory I can see previous postings but even if I
choose a keyword from the list of the posts I can see I get a "no
results returned" message. I tried deleting my cookies in case
that was the problem (I had a problem with accessing a webpage in
which deleting cookies fixed it). Any ideas why this silly thing
won't let me search? I'm using a hp computer with Athalon 64
processor and I'm running XP Professional. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Describe exactly what you do and get on such a failed attempt. It
should work but you've provided NOTHING to work with.
Lots of people who use the web interface (as you are doing) have
reported this problem in the past week. Since none of the regular
helpers (like me) use the web interface because it is so awful, we
don't have answers as to how to fix it.
Instead, use Google Groups Advanced Search to search newsgroups for
topics of your choice. Also, you should set up a newsreader to access
these groups. It is very easy to do. Here's information about that:
Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this
is really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if
you learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for
Windows, but you can use Outlook Express since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

Since he posted his original message I assumed he was discussing the
OE Find features; but maybe not. You could be right, I think.

Sorry; I went back and checked the Original message; it is a web reader, not
OE. I can't help with that, bunky; sorry.
