Yes, I've noticed that, too, and a lot of other somewhat annoying changes
in
the new Google Groups Search layout and format! I'm glad to see that
others
have noticed this.
I most often encounter the behavior you've described when searching from
the
IE7 Search box (e.g., outlook express group:microsoft.public.*) with
Google
as my default.
However, if you enter the same search term at
http://groups.google.com/,
it
works as expected =>
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=outlook+express+group:microsoft.public.*&qt_s=Search+Groups
Likewise if you enter the same search term at, e.g.,
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/topics
and
use the Search Groups button=>
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...al&q=outlook+express+group:microsoft.public.*
...Except the results in the latter don't give you the newsgroup
reference.
For instance, in the latter, you get:
Outlook Express message?? If you accessed these newsgroups in your
default
newsreader (eg, Outlook Express
), it's simply intuitive and much easier. Setting up Outlook Express
to access
Microsoft newsgroups

Where as in the former, you get:

I can't get into the links stated in my mail messages at outlook

open them in internet explorer, but why can I not open them in
outlook
...

At least the Sort by date option's still available. I suppose Google
might
be open to feedback about this but YMMV.

In the past, I have often used Google Groups Advanced Search feature to
search for info in the various Microsoft Public Windowsxp groups and most
often find a helpful answer. Usually I simply enter
Microsoft.public.windowsxp.* in the 'Return only messages from the group
at
this location' slot. When I do that now I get returns from all sorts of
newsgroups, none of which have anything to do with windowsxp groups.
Does anyone else have this problem? If so, have you found a
solution/work
around?
Thank you.
