you can do an Advanced Search at the Google Groups website, on any or all of
these public newsgroups. i've found numerous relevant posts by utilizing it.
I agree with Tina that Google groups is a much better way to go than to use
the search feature on this site. In Google you can restrict the search to a
date range and otherwise refine it in a way you cannot do at the MS groups
page.
