Todd,

Is there a page that explains/defines what are the valid modifiers to a
newsgroup search request ? I seem to recall a message that you posted right
after the big newsgroups search engine downtime which showed some examples
(such as how to target a search to a particular relative date). I tried that,
but don't see any effect on the search results. My searches always seem to
return the oldest items first, which is a pain if I get a large number of hits
and what I'm looking for is more recent.

If you saw this and it doesn't help, Todd should answer your question soon.

OK, I did not see that page. I tried those and it seems to be doing what I
wanted. For some reason, I thought I tried those earlier and was not getting the
desired result. Lets assume that all is well now. If I see whatever it was I saw
before, I'll mention it with examples.

(...) I'm no expert, but I think I know what you mean. I've had a similar sounding history. I'll mention it to Todd, trying to reproduce the trouble I had. -Suz. (24 years ago, 24-Feb-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
