newgroups search feature not working

[Guest]

I'm running XP SP2 and IE7 with all updates applied. The Search For:
function of the Newsgroups is not working for me. (I've even tried a copy
and paste from an existing post). Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Rod

I always receive:

Your query for xxxxxxxxxxxxx did not return results.

The following may help you find the results you were looking for:

Check your spelling.
Enter a term or phrase that's less specific.
Try different phrasing.
Try fewer words.

Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000 is akin to bear skins and stone knives.

Do yourself a favor and setup a real newsreader.

Outlook Express came free with XP.

You will later wonder why you didn't setup OE as your newsreader sooner.
