    Here is where you should post questions about Win7:

    Windows 7 beta: unable to get library search to work?

    Greetings,

    I'm gonna post this here because there is no Win7 usenet group (yet).
    Plain and simple: library search doesn't work for me at all.

    I've done the steps exactly to the tutorial: add ONE folder with subfolders
    (and I kept it to one tree for now)

    Then I tried searching, even for most primitive combinations like c*.* or c*
    but absolutely no search results.

    Does library search happen to be still broken in current public beta? (7000)

    I take this as a joke?

    I'm now FORCED to use a www forum instead of a usenet group?
    I refuse to do that because due to the "Let's imitate DTP as closely as
    possible" nature of www forums, these have always been slow as a snail.
    That's just why I prefer usenet forums.
    And if microsoft.* tree does not want to provide a usenet group--well, no
    problem, so I'll just find one elsewhere.

    No, it's not a joke and I agree with you that Usenet is preferable to
    forums. However, since MS doesn't provide a public newsgroup for the Win7
    beta there you go. Maybe there is a public non-MS newsgroup that will meet
    your needs. I haven't looked so can't provide the information for you.

    I'll be even stronger than that, RC. As far as I know, *most* MVPs,
    by far, feel that way about it, and agree with you and Andreas. I know
    I do.
