I posted here in December and January but when I used "search for" to find
all of my posts, the December and January posts did not appear but the older
posts did.

Try using a newsreader instead of the clunky Web interface.

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

90 days in MSNews. More than a year in the Web interface.

Well, yeah. That too. <eg>

90 days in MSNews. More than a year in the Web interface.

I thought that the web interface was just that - an interface to this news
group. So does the web interface store posts separately, on a separate
server to the NNTP server?

I guess it does. Occasionally I find someone replying to a post that is 1
or 2 years old, and often upon checking their headers they show they are
using the CDO for Windows 2000. AKA, the Web interface.

What news server are you using? Your ISP's? Another one? If you set it up
using msnews.microsoft.com as the first link describes, messages are
retained on the server for 90 days.
