What you are doing wrong, is using Google Groups. It's broken. Many
people have said this, not just me. I'll do a search one day and it
works fine. A few days later, I'll do what seems like a similar search,
and get no hits. None. I know there were posts. Another time I'll do
a similar search and get millions of hits. I'll look at a few and they
have nothing to do with what I specified. I still use it because it
works about half the time.
My ISP has their own server. I like it pretty well, although it doesn't
have all the groups and doesn't have a very long retention. They have
limited access to another server. I have set up access to that server,
and plan to try it instead of GG for historical searches. I haven't
tested it yet, other than to gain access. It doesn't work with MT
Newswatcher, which is a problem for me.
