Why can't I find my group from Yahoo groups's search box?

Question

I entered the name of my Yahoo group in the Find a group search box on the Groups home page, and keep getting Sorry, no matches were found. I searched under the group's name. Some of my groups come up when I search under their name, and some don't. What could the problem be?

Answer 1

Lots of reasons. 1. You have the group set to Restricted access. 2. Its Adult oriented. 3. You have selected = Not listed in Yahoo! Groups directory. 4. You have just made the group and Yahoo needs time to put in Directory. (Usually a week). 5. You made a Private Group.
