past messages

Is there a way to search past messages in this board?

I don't know if it's an outlook express bug or something with this ng server
but for some reason, the search function on this ng has almost never worked
for me. You hit an old message header (in the "find message etc." dialog
box) and get a different message than the header you selected. However
Google advanced groups search works great, but you probably already knew
that?
www.Google.com or something like that - then pick this group to use as your
search source and it gets all archived posts back to ????

Thanks MP, forgot about using a search engine. Duh.

At http://discussion.autodesk.com/ you can search the newsgroups
for previously posted questions. Put keywords in the blank box
and then chose search for "last 3 days, last 2 weeks, last 3
months or all". Search will bring up a list of newsgroup messages
matching the text you provide in the search box.

For the search engine limited to the ACAD groups which includes
VBA, go to http://discussion.autodesk.com/WebX?14@@.ee77aa7. By
using the Autodesk server search engine you will be searching all
available messages not just those on your local OE cache.

Clicking on an individual topic listed in the search results will
spread out the messages in that topic in a tree formation.The
topics are listed by date with the newest date at the top.

Hope this helps you in future questions.
