Google Tutorial - Google Groups

About Google // Search Strategies // Results // Specialized Information // Features

groupsGroups (accessed at http://groups.google.com/) allow the user to search, read or post messages on thousands of discussion forums. Forum groups are organized by discipline. Find a specific group by:

  • browsing categories; or
  • typing a query into the Google Groups search bar.

When viewing results, the search query will be highlighted:

  1. within the listing; and
  2. wherever it appears in the text.

Many groups require membership registration.

Note: This feature is in beta, which means it's still in a testing phase. Some features in the Google Groups area may not work as expected.
