how to search with the MSDN web-based client?

[David Burson]

Hi,

I would like to search the dotnet newsgroups, but I have
had no success using the built-in search.

1. How can I search for only items that contain ALL the
words in my search criteria?

2. How can I search for all items posted by a particular
user? Entering the name in the "from" box yields no hits.

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

I'd suggest you use Google Groups. Go to
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search then you can put your
keywords into the "Find messages with all of the words" box and put
"microsoft.public.dotnet.*" in the "return only messages from the newsgroup"
box.
