a.b and Google groups - what am I doing wrong

[DaveB]

I'm not a complete novice to the Internet but searching aus.bicycles in
Google appears to have me beat.

I go to Google and select the Groups link.

Go to advanced groups search

Enter BR23 in find all the words field, and return only messages for
newsgroup aus.bicycles

Hit search.

Get nothing. What the?

Try aus.bicycle. Not plural bicycles.

Don't worry, we get that a lot where I work. Also against brick walls.
We've got an industrial-sized order in for soft brick walls. Or we would
have, if we could find a supplier... any suggestions?
