Searching for Newsgroups

[Dunc Fowler]

I subscribe to a Usenet service for accessing various news groups.

After I download all the newsgroups from that server I can not find a way to
search for the newsgroups I have interest in.

When I put something like "RV" in the search box on the top right corner, it
searches all of my Emails rather than just the list of groups that had "RV"
in the title.

Help tells me that there is a " Display newsgroups containing" box but for
the life of me I can't find it.

Any thoughts out there?
I am running Entourage 12.2.3

Click the bar in the Folder List that contains the name of the *News Server*
itself, not one of the newsgroup account names. The 'Display newsgroups
containing box...' will be at the right end of the title bar of the reading
pane where the list of accounts on that server appears. IOW, it's where the
Filter box would be if you were looking at a list of email messages or if
you select a newsgroup account rather than a server.

Nope, not there.
Perhaps I did something that hid it.
Is there a way to re-set the display to a default?

The most likely culprit is in the View menu... Select 'Show Quick Filter' to
turn it back on. You may have turned it off somewhere along the line ‹ AFAIK
its default setting is to be shown.
