Yes, this is it. If I use the "advanced" option the results of the
search are OK.
This change in the default search criteria seems really awkward to
me.... Since when I use this newsgroup I often found answers to my
problems in posts that were some years old !

By the way: does anyone know if it is possible to access the "advanced
search" options from the main comp.lang.idl-pvwave google groups
page ? Maybe I'm a little dumb, but until now the only way that I
found out to perform an advanced search is to start from the main
goggle groups page (http://groups.google.com/) and then click on
"advanced search". This is not so user-friendly, since any time that I
want to search the newsgroup I have also to specify in the advanced
search options the name of the group that I want to search.

Thanks to all for the help,

Lorenzo
