Product updates, notifications and what's happening in Yahoo! Groups

Try out the Enhanced Message Search.

In addition to a new design for your email messages, Yahoo! Groups now features improved Message Search. This is just one of the ways we have listened to you and are making Yahoo! Groups better.

With the more advanced Message Search functionality, finding a particular message is not only easier, but much faster. We’ve updated this by integrating powerful Yahoo! Search algorithms – this results in an accelerated search experience for you. Message Search now comprehensively screens the entire message archive of a group, no matter how many messages have been posted.

What’s more, new Message Search includes an “Advanced” search feature. This feature allows you to drill down on a number of fields to make it easier to find that lost message. You can use the options on this page to create a very specific search -- simply refine message search in your group by:

  • Date. You can add a specific point on the calendar and have a search performed before or after that time. Or, search a date range.
  • Author. Include the name of the sender and all messages from that name will be returned. You can also exclude a specific sender name from the search.
  • Subject. Add any words from a subject line and it will be returned. You can also exclude specific words from the subject line too.
  • Message Body. Add any words from the body of a message and the relevant messages will be returned to you in your search results. Again here you can also exclude specific words from your search.

And as a reminder, please keep checking back on this Yahoo! Groups News page. There will be more good news and improvements to share with you in the weeks to come.
