newsbin.com

Hi,

I have just installed Newsbin 6.34: 00 5E C0 1D 7F BC and I am running it on Windows v7 SP1.

After downloading header information, I am trying to perform searches. If I search for "abc" Newbin finds results. If I search for "abc def" no results. Also no results for "abc AND def".

It doesn't matter what actual values I use for "abc" and "def" still no results. The article headers exists locally as I can find them by scrolling through the list, but newsbin fails to find them with the search option.

How do I find articles using multiple key words?


P.S. Eample:

Subject: "fred smith and john doe"

Search: "fred smith"
Result: Found

Search: "fred john"
Result: Nothing found

Search: "fred AND john"
Result: Nothing found

"abc.*def"

Is probably what you want.

"abc def" will look for that exact sequence. What you're probably looking for is "abc" anywhere and "def" anywhere. Try linking the words with ".*" which means "anything in between".

I was actually working on making this simpler so, you can just do multiple words. Not sure it's going to make 6.41 though.

Keelini think the key point that may not be obvious from Quade's reply is that searching the headers uses regex syntax (and always has done). The change Quade is talking about is moving to a new syntax that is more like one that people are used to with other search sources.
