Search Does Not work

[MEG]

When I try to search any newsgroup, it does not work.

Could I have a setting incorrect in Internet Explorer
that disallows this functionality?

I have tried it on serveral different of these forums and
none of them work.

THANKS,

MEG

Hi, MEG,

What are you using to view newsgroups? Are you using Internet Explorer,
Outlook Express, or something else?

Internet Explorer

Should I be using something different?

THANKS,

No, it's just that the solution to your problem may depend on the software
you are using, and what site you're using. Assuming you're using the
Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?d=1

When you type in a question, and click Go, does anything happen?

I tested it here, and it works okay...

You might also try Google Groups: http://www.google.com/grphp

It's another way into newsgroups, including the ones that Microsoft hosts.

Hope that helps--
