Now it doesn't seem to link to a specific post any more. So if you search for posts containing, say, "Discworld" and "Doctor Who", you get the start of a huge thread and it's up to you to find the six posts within where the two terms appear in conjunction. They won't be highlighted, either.
I'm sure I used it yesterday and it wasn't doing this.

I use XNews for posting, on the recommendation of some people on afp when AOL Newsgroups stopped.
