What is it with Yahoo groups?

[Confused Cuthbert]

Can someone tell me how the 'search' function works in Yahoo groups? It seems to pretty useless but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Let's take as an example current favourite Nadia Spinks. Type in Nadia Spinks and you get...zilch. Type in Andrea Spinks...fuck all. Type in just Nadia...142 groups about other Nadias - none of them Nadia Spinks. Even typing in the exact names of groups known to exist, such as akanadia produces nowt. Is it me?

[Plastikman]

try hypercutenadia, or look in the miscellany section here

[Confused Cuthbert]

Yes I know about those. My question was more of a general one about yahoo groups than about Nadia herself. I chose her as an example partly as I know there to be lots of yahoo groups about her, none of which can be located unless you know their names first.

That search won't work unless you're already in the Adult section, I believe.
Go to an adult group, then try the search, or failing that you can pull up a complete list of such groups.

[Confused Cuthbert]

Nope. Still doesn't work. So how do you pull up the complete list then? Yahoo seem a bit cagey about all of this.

Just had the same experience with Cathy Barry clubs. Search gives none, but there are at least 3.

about time someone comented on this its been fucking me off for months...i just take an existing group and change the name to see if the main group exists

They've been shite for at least the last 2 years: they're trying to close down the adult section because of 'politics', by making it as difficult to use as possible.

From memory there were about 40,000 adult groups but indexes like

bitchporn & only scratch the surface

If you do a search under "yahoo groups index" adult sites on you will usually find someone peddling the full list
