Google (and other web portals) merely access the posts from MSNews servers.
How the format/store/present it after is up to them. And if they do it
badly/not at all, that is hardly the fault of MS.
As for the searches, one for you as the author, the other is all posts
containing your email.

Don't know what "m.p.e.p." means. Surely not "Manual of Patent Examining
Procedure" ?

I'm getting duplicate search results.

Different results when searching on
" and on
".

When I do an advanced search on m.p.e.p on
I get different results then when I'm
perusing m.p.e.p and search on .

Sometimes pagingation is hosed.

One of two things occurred. I disgrunteled employee hosed everything
and walked of the job, or Google changed how search works to
accomodate some European country and they'd rather live with broken
search that meets the rules rather than working search which doesn't.

I'm still puzzled why Microsoft can put usenet search on live.com. I
fathom it's easier to sue Google than it is for them to make software
that just works.
