Yes, it can be done, with some manual work, but it's easy: (1) Do your search, then (2) click on any of the found items. The browser will open the item and show the URL, with the complete search string and some more options. (3) Tweak this URL to get what is needed, and try it to be sure. Example: (1) search for: "visual studio" in fltk.development (2) 1st URL: <http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?s1+gfltk.development+v1+T+Q%22visual+studio%22> (3) tweak this to: <http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.development+Q%22visual+studio%22> ... and you're done. The "%22" parts are the double quotes. Hint: taking the above URL, you can also create yours directly by changing the search values and the group name.
