Finding something in local UE database/newsgroups

[dxcarnadi]

Hi.

I'm looking for a "Find"-feature to search in the local newsgroups.

I've the headers of 2000 days of a newsgroup on my harddisk.
There're a few thousands lines.
I'm looking for a word f.e. "Elvis" among them.

Do I have a "Find" button (like in an Editor or ForteAgent newsreader)?
Where? Thank you.

If the headers are stored in UE itself bring up the group they are in, in the UE.
Then use the "Filter" area to search through the headers.
This might explain it better.

Thank you .... I must read the tutorial about "filters" ... oh yea! Confusing ... so many types of filter.

Do you know books (or tutorials) about "wildmat"?
About regular expression there are many ebooks .. but I don't find any about wildmat.

Anyway .. I'm beginning to like UE as a newsreader. It's so flexible.

Sorry I don't really know much of anything on wildmat.
There are little tricks I use with the search such as using . between subject titles like the way headers are mostly formatted.
An ex would be Game.of.Thrones then using the & for things like 720p and or Web like Game.of.Thrones&720p&Web-DL
That just help narrow things down.

I entered The.Bridge.US&720p&S02E07 ...

Thank you .. I'll use it ..

The boolean wildmat syntax is described here: http://www.usenetexplorer.com/help/patterns.htm

Also you can check this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildmat

Wildmats were implemented on the server side for XPAT searches, see below here http://www.usenetexplorer.com/UE.txt. Since wildmats required extensive server resources they are normally not enabled on the server side any more, but when I added the search service XPAT was still somewhat relevant, so I took the same syntax as the basis.
