Usenet Search facility Error

Postby coyote2 » Mon Dec 02, 2013 12:03 pm

I'm trying the Usenet Search facility because it's free today, and I get a "No Results Searching on Poster" no matter what search terms I use.

I set the dropdown to "Internet" and the time period to "30 months".

In the dropdown to the left of the one that says "Internet", does it say "From Field"? If so, you are performing searches against posters, not the subjects of the post. Select "Subject Field" to search on Subject.
