is searching that difficult ?

[Smoker]

OK finally getting around to searching my downloaded headers.

Click on Search tab
Type a word to search in the search field and press Enter

The Blue thingy goes across the screen several times.

No results..... REALLY ?

I've tried searching for words that I have found in headers by looking at all posts in a group.

What am I missing ?

Global filter always applies. Maybe you're filtering them out.

I checked my global filter and the following is what I have for both Subject and Filename Reject

.*[s|S][a|A][m|M][p|P][l|L][e|E].*
sample

Those are not the words I've searched for.

ah i found that I had a Subject Accept entry.

Removed that and searching works much better

Knowing that the Global filter applies helped, Thanks

Is the same as just entering

"sample". The RE's in Newsbin are case independent so, you don't have to worry about upper/lower

You don't need a leading or trailing ".*". That's mainly used between words.
