I checked the newsgroups I want to search for off-line searches.

I guess you mean you went to File->Offline->Settings and, in the "Message Synchronizing" section, you clicked on "Select newsgroups for offline use", selected the Server and then those groups on that server which you wanted to download onto your Hard Drive.

Nothing seemed to happen.

Did you then click on File->Offline->Download/Sync Now??

I went to search in the Body of the messages of one of the checked
newsgroups and it said not found.

WHY ???

If you have not downloaded the news group posts onto your Hard Drive, as I remember, you can only search the Subject:'s

What else do I have to do ?

See above.

The posts bodies are visible on Seamonkey.  Is that not enough ?

No. See above!

I remember reading the post on this PC.  How can it NOT find it now ?

Probably because you have your News account to only show "Unread" messages. With the news group selected, check View->Threads and set it to "Threads with Unread" or some such.

I need to find something that was posted several weeks ago and is ONLY
found in the Body (not the subject).

Then you will have to download that news group onto your Hard Drive, as described above.
