| | searches Hi In OE when searching in newsgroups you can specify whether to search by subject, from, or message body. In WLM, the only search function that I can see is the "Find a message" dialogue box above the list of messages, and that doesn't seem to ask what ylou want to search. Is there any way of doing this? Thanks |

In the Find db you can specify header fields (From, Subject etc) to be searched. The word wheel works differently; when fully configured, you can start typing the search term and the list of matching results gets shorter the more you type, until you find what you're looking for. You can then use the column headings in the Message list to sort the results in a meaningful way. 'Fully configured' means that (on Vista) Windows Search is set up to index your Store folder, and on XP that you have Windows Desktop Search 3.01 or Windows Search 4.0 installed and, again, set up to index your Store folder. Otherwise, search will not look at the message body. [Tools >] Options > Advanced > Maintenance > Store folder will tell you where it's located. Once you get it working properly, Find a message is lightning fast and efficient. -- Noel |
