I created a group but when I try to search for it, it doesn't show up. Why?

Question

I have ensured that it is added to the directory. Any key words that I use to search for it aren't working. I want others to be able to find my group. Even when I type in the full group name, it doesn't show up.

Answer 1

groups directory is never an instant show- takes time to update thosepages with newly created groups- next time you click or within 24 hrs, it'll list

Answer 2

It takes a few days, sometimes up to a week, for the directory to catch up to new Groups.  If it has been more than a week since you created the Group and it still isn't showing up in searches, then you might want to send a help form to Yahoo Groups Customer Care.

Answer 3

It will take up to 24 hours or even sometimes more to be listed... Be patient and wait.. It will show up eventually...

"It’ll get listed in the Yahoo! Groups directory within a few days, in the category that you select during the set-up process. Occasionally, our team of category editors comes across groups they feel have been miscategorized, and if this happens with your group, we’ll let you know."
