Yahoo Groups aren't very good. Information is organized poorly, and
Search
doesn't work. I searched for a message I sent last week and it wasn't
found. Searching for my name turns up some messages I sent several
months
ago but no recent ones.
Google Groups work much better than Yahoo Groups. Information is
easier to
find, and search works. I wish this group were hosted on Google

Yahoo.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: this group isn't very good
Well, it is true that yahoo search is not as good as google. That is why I am using gmail. I am using this account for last 2 years and have all the email here. As of today I have 21000+ emails :-). I just use my email search to find old emails!!!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: this group isn't very good
I got a message saying 'click here to request to be migrated to the new message search' (paraphrased) when looking at another Yahoo! Group, and found this in their blog (http://www.ygroupsblog.com/blog/2009/07/08/bug-update-782009/) so I think they're getting on to this, probably after they fix the RepDB problem. 2009/8/4 Vivian Richard kanps...@gmail.com: Well, it is true that yahoo search is not as good as google.
