From: Jon Brock jbr...@ghs.org

 has anyone else begun having problems with searching IBM-MAIN posts in Google 
 Groups?  
 I always used it because: a) It kept some load off the archive servers; and 
 b) It was faster anyway. 
 These days, though, it seems as if it has forgotten all of the old posts.

I had problem, too. About three months ago I searched something like 'FlashCopy 
vs. Concurrent Copy'
using the Google Group, and found several posts. The same search three months 
later brought almost nothing.
Ever since I search the archives at  http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html .

A few months ago (maybe a little longer) I noticed that I wasn't getting hits
like I did in the past.   I get better results by searching for the specific
group:
