Search First

While doing topic searches on the group I have discovered that I have
been asking questions that have already been answered many times.
Today I did a search on king size beds (seems most plans are for queen)
and received a flood of information. Just thought I would pass this
on; from now on I will search first and then ask for new insight and
opinions.

When you search you get the answer right away too instead of waiting
for responses.

The guy sold it for fifty bucks more to someone who showed up before i
could get there. Guess I dont blame him but still think he should
have called me first as we had an agreement. I have learned to live
with it now but you are opening old wounds!

Jack you should be able to see a place to type in text near the top
left of the screen when you first log into the group. There is a
button to click (it says Search This Group ) to search for the text you
have entered.

You can search all Usenet via google groups, on set of search strings
you build.
groups.google.com.

The exact specifics you see on-screen depend on what you're using to
access/view.

TTFN,

I'm not sure how to search the group for past posts. I know I'm a dumb
ass so no need to tell me so. I have webtv and it has limitations so
maybe i can't do a search. Instructions will be appreciated.

thanks

I was just checking on a previous post of mine, and ran across this
thread.

Don't pay attention to the other guys. They obviously aren't
familiar with WebTV. You want to search the group for past posts, you
go thru and read the posts you're interested in. However, if you want
to look for post that have already vanished, you want the archives.
Here's the link.
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?as_ugroup=3Drec.woodworking=
&lr=3D&num=3D30
It's supposed to automatically say rec.woodworking, but someone probably
"improved" something, so you're gonna have to type in rec.wooworking
for the group you want. Or, whatever group you want. Then type in the
author, or subject, or keywords. No prob. You want a couple of free
plans, check for JOAT. You'll run across a dozen free plans, at least.

Actually, WebTV isn't as limited as most people think. It has word
processing sites (only useful if you have a printer), can send and
receive e-mail, and surf. That's all most people use computers for.
I've got a printer, links saved for writing PDF, and finding new stuff
I'm interested in all the time. Works for me.

The grass on the other side of the fence is seldom greener. It just
gets more media attention.

Hey, I just read through your old posts - you never told us how things
worked on the 6" JET Jointer.
