Group search return few results!

[MGT]

Has anyone else noticed that searching this group using the "Search
this group" box in the top right corner is returning far fewer results
than it should! For example a search of "drop file" returns only one
result!!

Eventually I found out that by using the advanced search option on the
google groups main page it is possible to get 92 results for the same
search (drag file group:TiddlyWiki) - strange.

Is this a problem with google groups do you think?

Cheers,

Mark

Yes, that issue cropped up a few weeks ago:
http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/t/340d88517f7e290d

Other groups seem to be having the same problem:
http://groups.google.com/group/Is-Something-Broken/t/8561acd89999f85b

No word from Google yet, sadly.

That's a good workaround - thanks for sharing!

Noticed this also. Could not even find my old posts. I hope google
would fix this.
