Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I'm posting this on several , hoping someone can help. A month ago, I noticed that when I went to the 'messages' area of the Natural Perfumery group, and typed a word in the 'search' box, I only got very recent returns. Maybe the search went back to Jan. 1st, December if I was lucky. Is this happening on all , is it a new thing? It used to search the entire archive. I think that the archives of groups are very valuable, and I'd like to find a way to 'fix' it if possible, so that information in posts older than two months doesn't require a tedious page-by-page search. Any hints, or has does this to all groups? http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hey Anya, You have to that says " next " for it to search through more messages.

Whoodathunk? This is a new method, 'cause it was mucho easier in the past -- just type in the search word, and *every* post came up. I was scared when I was just now getting very recent post, and didn't even think of using the 'next' feature. Thanks...I'm going to work this tip into my greeting message for new member so they can search the archives when they join. http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
