How long do questions remain in the database?
The msnews server keeps messages at least 60-90 days, I think, but they are
archived "permanently" by Google. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "sheana" wrote in message ... Can you tell me how long mine or anyone's questions remain in the database? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks for answering my question. If Google archives them permanently, then
how do I find them...can you give me an example? Thanks in advance. "Suzanne S.

How long do questions remain in the database?
An ordinary Google search nowadays will turn up newsgroup posts (to the
dismay of some who would like to see these results confined to Groups search), but if you want to search only in newsgroups, then click on the arrow beside More on the Google home page toolbar and choose Groups. You can search groups generally, but if you want to search only a specific group of range of groups, you can click on Advanced Groups Search and limit your search to, say, "microsoft.public.word.*" You can also specify an author, subject line, date range, etc., in addition to the search terms. -- Suzanne S.

Go to http://groups.google.com/advanced_search and enter any combination of
keywords, newsgroup, author's name, and date that applies to the message you're looking for. I'm guessing that Suzanne put quotes around "permanently" because Google makes no promises about how long they'll continue to keep everything. However, I can still find a couple of my posts from October 1993. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How did Google, which hasn't itself been around since 1993, get hold of
posts from then? The implication is that there must be another archive somewhere. -- Enjoy, Tony "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

It took over something called "Deja News."

As grammatim says, posts had been archived "forever" at DejaNews, which
Google acquired (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deja_News). At the time, there were considerable misgivings on the part of Usenet users, but in fact Google has proved to be a worthy successor, although, as I indicated, many Google users wish that Usenet posts were not returned along with other results of an ordinary "Web" search. The problem, of course, is that there are so many Web services "slurping" the NGs, that any spider crawling the Web is going to find NG posts reproduced on these sites. -- Suzanne S.
