I've having trouble searching within the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.microframework
newsgroup. In the Search For: box, I enter "porting" (no quotes), select
the newsgroup as listed above, and click Go.
The screen repaints with no postings found - but I have clearly seen the
word "porting" in the subject of one of the messages.

Is this feature "broken"?

Click to expand...

The search feature is specific to the news reader that you are using,
the newsgroup itself doesn't support searching. You should ask in a
newsgroup or forum that is dedicated to the news reader you are using.
 
Thanks, I'll submit the question to the Internet Explorer discussion group.
It seems odd that a MS newsreader would be having trouble searching it's own
newsgroup...
 
Tried this an it works - has a quite different look and feel, but I was able
to search.
Thanks for the work-around.
