i've got one browser that the search is broken, one browser that can't 
even log into yahoo-groups, and one browser that everything works fine. 
all of the browsers are standards compliant; none of them are IE or 
firefox.

yahoo has become the slum-lord of run-down & abandoned mailing lists. it 
does seem that if they get a few complaints about the search function on a 
particular list they can fix it. in the meantime, try different browsers. 
there are *plenty* available for linux/bsd... but off the top of my head i 
can only think of 2 for windoze.
