I've used SM's Search Messages to find stuff in my local system email
archives hundreds of times, including for Content - always worked.
Now, running SM 2.46, that won't work when I search for content in
this
news group. specifically, when I search the content for a word I
know is
there, it comes up blank.
Searching for a From or Subject string does work.
The same is happening when I search local system archives other news
groups I subscribe to.
However, a Content search does work on my archived personal email
material.
Anyone else seen this problem or know what might cause it?
I seem to recall that you might need to download the newsgroup posts
onto your hard drive in order to do a search of the posts, because
the NG posts are not, normally, downloaded onto your hard drive!!
Note the reference in my above post to "local system archives. " The
emails ARE on my HD if I have read them, which I have.
And now, I must report that "Option" has entirely disappeared from
the drop-down box of search options, although all the other search
options continue to be listed. What the heck is going on??
Yes, your emails are on your hard drive, but you said you were
searching this newsgroup and the messages are not.
You are reading the content from the server, only the Header is
downloaded.
First download and install SeaMonkey 2.48 released 2017-07-31.

Then select the newsgroup Account > View settings for this account >
Synchronization & Storage, then click the "Select newsgroups for
offline use..." button and select the newsgroup, then try your search
again.
Duh!! I see I was getting myself a bit confused above. Thought I had
been able to search for content in the news groups previously, but I
think I was actually searching the subject line - haven't done it for so
long. Have set things for offline use as you explain above, can now
search the contents. Thanks for the heads-up..
