Has something recently changed in the search algorithm in this discussion
group???

I try searching on some key words and even on my logon, and it does not seem
to be picking things up any more. Is there a trick or something I need to do
in order to more easily find my entries???

Thanks for your review and hopeful for a reply.

You could try search at http://groups.google.com/advanced_search

All Microsoft has done is put a web frontend on an NNTP newsgroup. This
particular group is microsoft.public.access

The Microsoft webpage is just one of many newsreaders which give access to the
microsoft.public.* NNTP newsgroups (originating on msnews.microsoft.com but
propagated to news servers all over the world). It's a clunky, unreliable,
buggy newsreader at that! (Sorry, Microsoft, but you know it's true).

For searching for previous posts, you can use "Google Groups" -
http://groups.google.com; choose the advanced search to limit your searching
to a specific group, author or date range.

You guys are the BEST! Thanks for your feedback! I used to be able to search
in here by my alias, PSULionRP, but the search doesn't seem to pick up my
entries any more.

Thanks sooooooo much for your feedback. Greatly appreciated!
