Search Feature in this Community Forum

Is it my imagination or is the Search For feature not working very well.

On 10/28/2005 I posted a message entitled "TV Tuner Card" but when I search
for it I get the following:

"Your query for "TV Tuner Card" did not return results.
The following may help you find the results you were looking for:
Check your spelling.
Enter a term or phrase that's less specific.
Try different phrasing.
Try fewer words.

Just some feedback Microsoft.
Regards,

Perhaps if you used a Newsreader instead of a web browser to access Usenet
Groups, you would be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to organize and
search for posts.

It's apparently useless. Alternatives are Google or using a real newsreader
that will let you search. But the Web interface doesn't search this NG well
at all.

Andre,
Thank you. I was unaware that Outlook Express could be used to access forums.
Dumb question: how does one set it up? I went to Tools -> Accounts and it
gives me choices for mail, news or directory services. Not sure if I use
this to enter a Forum or not, and what type of address to enter.
Would appreciate any help. Thx.
Regards,
