That's another post in this thread that I can't see, I don't see Bernd P's
post at all.

I cancelled my original post as I accidentally used a wrong email addy.

Hi RD,
Is something wrong with the MS servers again?

Perhaps it is just me but I have been having trouble finding posts on Google
that I know are there. Because I have been missing posts in OE, ( and
sometimes replying saying that no one else had replied when in fact they
had), I have started checking Google to see if someone else has replied.
For instance I replied to a post on microsoft.public.worksheet.functions
with the subject Formula Help on September 13 2007. The OP posted back 10
hours ago but when I go to Google Groups Advanced Search I cannot find it at
all.

The parameters that I used were:

Return only messages from the group at this location: *EXCEL*
Return only messages where the subject contains: Formula Help
Dates: 10 Sep 2007 to 14 Sep 2007

Result 18 posts with *Formula* and *Help* in the subject but no *Formula
Help*

Insert the author as my name and I get no posts returned at all.

Yet with:

Group: *EXCEL*
Subject: Averaging non-continuous ranges
Author: Ragdyer

I find this thread no bother.

Substitute my name for yours and I get no posts returned!

The sun shines for other people............

If no one else is having trouble with Google that it must be me but I am not
doing anything different to what I use to do and I did not have this degree
of difficulty before :-(

It's been like this for a while now, even if you specify excel it will bring
up other newsgroups as well. Somebody mentioned something about using

group:microsoft.public.excel*


I haven't tried it so I don't know

Yes thank you Peo, I used to always use microsoft.public.excel* until I
someone posted a link here that came up with *EXCEL* already entered.

I went back and tried the microsoft.public.excel* and I got 21 posts, (in
place of 18 posts before), including two with the subject Formula Help,
unfortunately still he wrong ones :-(

We can only hope that Google get it sorted out soon, but then that's
progress for you! <g>
