Thanks, I intentionally inserted "feline lymphoma" into the description somewhere right after seeing Duane's results. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy

Actually it is quite easy, without changing the group name. Starting with the fact that the search results are based on what a group owner puts in the description, then simply ensure that "feline

Of course! We get that. But this needs a change at some point. At the very minimum, if there is no time to fix the display order, stop calling the search "By Name." That would be a five-second fix.

FWIW, there has to be some default results order, so the existing is as good as any. If Mark decides to include any of the suggestions in this topic, such as an "advanced" search page/box, there will

And from the user's point of view, suppose you are looking for groups about horses. You put in the search term "horses." Your search is specifically SAID by groups.io to be a search "by name." What

That's well and good. However, group owners with the search term in their group's name would expect the reverse: namely, not to be displayed pages below a group that only mentions the term in their

I had not considered this viewpoint and appreciate your efforts to point it out. I suppose it's because I hark back to the research days when wading through "hits" was expected. Oh the time it took to

Is that because the list of groups returned is too large and hard to sort through because it is displayed in a non-helpful way (I would agree there), or because many of the groups returned are

I also find the search groups feature doesn't prioritize groups where the search words are in the group's name. I find it difficult to search for relevant groups and often just give up.

We're finding that people are suspicious because they don't know what groups.iois -- even Yahoo Groups members. Hence my suggestion of adding something like "a modern platform for serious online

If a group owner invites someone who has a gmail address, they get this friendly, well-worded email: --------------------- Invitation to join the <GroupName>.groups.io group Hello, You have been

Based on Duane's results I just changed my group description to include the term "feline lymphoma" without "small cell" in the middle of it. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author,

And of the two, one of them (the feline cancer group) deals with feline lymphoma only very tangentially if at all. It happens to include those words deep in the description. My group, on the other

Hi All, I just added a confirmation dialog when changing your email address. It displays the new email address and requires that you click the Ok button to proceed. Please check it out and if you

Hello, I've added `(members with private profiles are not shown)` to the page when a non-moderator is viewing the page. Thanks, Mark

Shal/Mark -- Any members who are Not Confirmed or are Bouncing also do not appear in the Directory. May I suggest to simply state "Members with private profiles not shown"? Otherwise this could raise
