First off, this was really just an example, but I guess I should've put a time
frame in here. It was a couple months ago, before the new interface, when you
could only search the entire newsgroup. I was looking for a specific message in
cad.dat, I believe. Also, do the search again and look at the top. Notice it
says something like "Messages containing: wing"? Not "A-Wing", but "wing". It
makes it hard to search for hyphenated words/phrases.
Oh, BTW, I eventually did find the message I was looking for, but I had to
click back through the "previous twenty messages" many, many times.

| Jeff, I'm not sure what the problem is in this case. I just went to lugnet.starwars and typed "a-wing" in the search box.
