Ok, that's probably my fault.

When I said control l, I meant shift and l, thus capital l (L), it should
then ask you for a search string, and you can use such strings as linux.*,
linux* or, even better which works, *linux*, which will find *all* linux
groups, be warned, a lot of the other hierarchies, other than alt, comp
etc have Linux gbroups. *grin*
