Hello group.
I'm a group member. I've been an embeddedArm developer and group member for
about a year. I frequently try to refer the group and less frequently
contribute content.
There's relatively high quantity of good quality content in the group.
...but the Yahoo Group toolset seems brain dead. My major restriction in using
the group is Yahoo's (or my) inability to search reasonably.
I can't make advanced searches at all. In multiple 10-15 minute sessions over
the last year I couldn't manage to search for all messages with "foobar" in the
subject. I end up giving up. I know the answer to my question is in the forum
but end up googling the world in general.
Is it my cockpit error or is the Yahoo Group Search terminally broken?

My questions for anyone (and/or moderators) is:
1. any belief migrating this group will make life better?
2. if so, is there any action other than nagging yahoo to make this happen?
3. what's the moderators position on "migrating"?
I had some private email with a moderator to get his take privately before
posting to the group, but it didn't seem to get much traction. My guess is
there have been multiple "flame wars" in the group in
the past.... but as I couldn't search for them I don't know for sure :)
anyway, I thought I'd throw it out there for a hopefully flameless discussion
and/or solution
thanks in advance
