Google Groups

Find Discussions Matching a Particular Subject

SUMMARY: Use Google Groups to only return messages that may be more related to your particular keywords.

Normally, when you query USENET via Google Groups, Google will find messages where any part of the message text matches your search query. While the outcomes of these searches can be larger results pages, you may find that the best results are found when you search for message subjects that match your query. The rationale is that if a message was written with a particular subject, its topic should (much of the time) be more in line with what you are searching.

(Note that this tip was written on April 18, 2005 - the interface is subject to change).

1. Click on the "Advanced Groups Search" link.

2. When the "Advanced Search" page appears, next to "Return only messages where the subject contains", enter your search query.

3. Click "Google Search" to perform your search.
