It doesn't appear to work anymore, I used to do an advanced search in "uk.d-i-y" for say "Viessman boilers". and you would get all the threads back to god knows when. Unfortunately will not do it now, amI doing something wrong? or has google changed something? Regards Don

What doesn't appear to work anymore?
Have you switched off ActiveX or JavaScript?
Hmm. Works for me. 223 results from Advanced Search specifying uk.d-i- y. 218 if I look up "Viessman boilers" (sans quotes) for Search this group when in uk.d-i-y.

Searching for the exact phrase "veissman boilers" does (apparently correctly) return zero results, but just seaching for veissman within uk.d-i-y seems to give what you're after ...

What does that give you? That seems to work OK

ActiveX is not relevant, OS/2 doesn't have ActiveX...
OS/2? Didn't know that anyone still ran that....
eComStation is essentially an OEM version of OS/2
Dave does...and so do I.

I think you may not be searching in Google "Groups".
When you enter Google, at the top of the first page that is opened is a list of the Google sections starting 'Web', 'Images', 'Maps'... etc.
'Groups' is not in this list, so you have to click on the last item 'more' at the end of the list which will give you a pull down menu with 'Groups' as (I think) the fifth item. Click on this and then go to 'Advanced Search' and you will get the correct page to search the newsgroups for "Viessman boilers" or whatever.
I spotted this a few days ago. The change must have been made in the last week or so.

Bob, are you the Bob Eager that knows my son? (Without giving any details away... )
OS/2 BTW I think is still in many cashpoints.
