Could you refresh my memory on how to search Google Groups? Over the
years I have tried occasionally, with mixed results.

The tricky part is - at least for me - that you have to remember to
correctly select, in the drop down box next to the search box, what it
is you want to search.

I just tried this with "anti-gravity room" trying to pull up a thread I
once started in a space-science newsgroup (for information about a
space-camp commercial my stepdaughter told me about). All of the hits
were in rec.arts... or alt.folklore.urban; no science groups. That's
the kind of experience that I meant when I said "mixed results."

 
If you first go to the specific Google Group you are searching
for/within (for example, this group is
https://groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.sf.written/ ),
then the down arrow in the Conversations field restricts your search to
that group.

But if I don't remember which newsgroup within, say, sci.space hierarchy I
don't see any way to do a wild-card search within it.
