Google groups is flawed

I kinda like the new interface but I just found an annoying flaw in the application preventing me to reach the single NNTP messages.

As an example try go on the it.comp.lang.python newsgroup and search for author:Alex bagel. This query is supposed to retrieve a wonderful post Alex Martelli made about his life in Google but when you click on the link you have some random page without the content you are searching for.

That seems bad to me.

    I tried with Firefox instead of Camino Michele. The situation is better because it chooses a post but it’s not the right one (try search “bagel” with the find function in that page). Firebug tells me about 28 errors on that page.

    I just tried the link you suggest above:

    http://groups.google.it/group/.....sto+gruppo“http://groups.google.it/group/it.comp.lang.python/search?group=it.comp.lang.python&q=author%3AMartelli+bagel&qt_g=Ricerca+in+questo+gruppo

    I got this link

    http://groups.google.it/group/.....94ab4cbed1

    now, searching for “bagel” actually give me no result. But…

    scrolling down you get this link

    http://groups.google.it/group/.....elli+bagel

    and now you get the full Alex’s post, bagel compreso.

    Ciao, Alessandro

    Yes, I think they fixed the javascript. Thanks
