Default HELP--Searching NGs with Google? - 09-15-2006 , 07:04 AM






Dunno if this is the right NG for this question but I'll
give it a shot.

Can someone tell me how to find a specific NG post and
replies to it using google. I remember I used to do it all
the time on google a long time ago--going under "Groups"
there was a sorta advanced search page where ya could put
date-range, poster name, and NG name and immediately get
everything on that post--now there seems no provision for it
at all. Why the hell did they change this? How is it done
now--nothing I tried seems to work. Newsgroups aren't even
mentioned...anywhere!
Thanx for any help--
....tonyC

Hmm, it works for me!
I use the country-specific google.ca, but it should
work for -.com, -.no, -.fr, etc. From GOOGLE HOME (www.google.ca)
go to -> Groups -> Advanced Group Search.
This page should have all the fields for NG name, date-range etc.

If it works, bookmark the search page so it's easier to find next time.
What I get is
http://groups.google.ca/advanced_group_search

A while (1 year??) ago, Google changed the name to "Google-Groups-Beta"
which changed the output format somewhat. They now just call it just
"Google-Groups"

Thanx tonnie and David; you guys are absolutely
right...that's the page I used to get--dunno what I was
doing wrong...maybe I've been forgetting the advanced search
part, but this should work now. Many thanx again,
