Forum Search doesn't return matches newer than about Oct 2009

[DocBrown]

Has anyone else encountered this? When I'm in any of these Office Online
forums and do a Search For: The results I get never have entries newer than
about Oct 2009. I used to search on my user name and found all my posts in a
group, but not anymore. It doesn't find the ones for 2010.

Any thoughts on what's happening or how to fix it?

I put this here because I couldn't find a more general place to ask this.

Thanks,
John

Do yourself a BIG favour and ditch the horrible web interface. Use a news
reader instead.

I agree the Web interface is horrible. And I avoid them for email. But
looking at the links you sent, it appears that the posting search would be
limited to what you download as headers or the body. Am I correct or not
understanding how the newsreaders function. I use Thunderbird for email
handler and that's how seems to work.

Thanks for the suggestion.
