Heh, I've found the *interface* isn't bad (just type in the box and choose whether to search all of GG or just the current forum)...it's the accuracy of the results that is worthless :-) I search for things I *know* I posted based on keywords in my Sent Mail folder and can't find them on GG for the life of me. I have similar problems with Microsoft's site, using Google to search it (especially any MSDN docs) for more useful results. Ben's idea of using "site:groups.google.com" with your terms works better on Google-proper than GG's self-search box even if it's not perfect, but it's a shameful black-eye for Google to fail so badly at its core business of search. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
