What you are suggesting would be fine for a single group search, I think, but for groups it would be a major inconvenience. I don't do it often, but once in a while I'll go group *shopping* just to see whats going on. Say I'm planning a trip to Ireland. A group search for Ireland shows me 23 groups on Giganews. Some I don't care about, like the genealogy groups. But there are a handful of clari. groups, some soc. groups, and hey, even alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels.kathy-ireland! ;) . If I pull in headers and read a bit of one of those groups, I may still want to go back and sample a few others before committing to any of them by subscribing. Removing the search term would mean I'd have to re-enter it each time. jef _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
