In another thread someone pointed out the "advanced search" that you
can get to from Google groups search once you have selected a
newsgroup. Has anyone found a way to do such a search without
restricting it to a group?
What I see is this, and a group "address" is required:

As a concrete example, suppose I want to search for articles
from before 2005 containing the word "iphone".

In article <o62cne$qs1$1...@dont-email.me>,
Unfortunately that fails to find posts that I know exist, and which
are found when searching in a specific group.
For example, there is a post I sent a long time ago containing
the phrase "achieved by tricks" - can you find it without knowing
the group?

If you are just interested in finding the term in a large corpus, there

is <https://books.google.com/ngrams>. A case-insensitive search gives
hits back to 1833.

"achieved by tricks" site:.groups.google.com
which gives one hit, but I do not know if it is the one you are looking for.
You might also try first making a groups search and see what string it
sends, and then modify it. There is a more general search protocol they
rely on.

The desired effect can sometimes be achieved by tricks when linking, but there doesn't seem to be a clean way to do it. -- Richard -- Richard Tobin ...
