Hi, Actually the search box in that program (IIRC) is very silly, because of the way it brings up several matches, all not quite what you want. If you type in a word, you would quite often get the first newsgroup with that word in, but not the rest of the m. A better way is to download a text file of the groups, then search that way through Notepad.

If you're using Outlook Express, go to the Help and in the Index type "Searching for newsgroups". The instructions are there. I have an idea this was a bit easier to find in previous versions of O.E.. From what I've found in the past, it's worth trying and subject, putting 2alt." before it and seeing if it exists - quite often it will. Hope that helps.
