Is there a way to order the search result posts by date? In order to avoid
asking ?'s that have already been answered, I usually run a search of the
group. However, when I get 20 pages returned with stuff from 2004. etc.
included, I usually wnd up just asking the question as opposed to doing an
exhaustive search of the results. Also, is there a way to screen for posts
that just deal with ON 2007?
Thanks

If you do the search on Google Groups, you can sort the results by date. To
do this, check the right side of the search results. There is a link there
to sort the results by date instead of relevance. The more recent the post,
the more likely it is that it is a 2007 related answer.

I believe life is meant to be lived. But:
if we live without making a difference, it makes no difference that we lived

I tried this on Google Groups but although it is possible to do what Kathy
says it is far less readable on Google Groups and there are so few results
per page. So - I'll stick with what we've got, although I totally agree with
DaveZ. I wish the discussion could (at least) be restricted to ON 2007. Is
that selfish? Guess so. In the course of all this I discovered you could
search on your own nickname which is a bit neat.

Yes you did mention the other way of accessing these discussions - but I
thought you were suggesting it not telling me to do it!! I took your
suggestion seriously and went into Outlook Express (for the first time ever!)
to take a look. [I use Outlook 2007 as a mail client]. For the moment I have
decided to remain as one of the "dummies". I don't go into the groups often
enough to make it worth my while and I like the way I can quickly jump
between ON, Outlook, Word etc. discussion groups. I also just put my own
nickname into the search box to look quickly at threads I have participated
in. The me generation.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion - might do it one day.
