Yahoo's in-group search seems to be broken
Yahoo Message Number: 146197
No, it isn't your imagination. As of a few days ago, when you type something into the "Search Conversations" box at the top of one of our website's pages and hit Enter, it searches ALL Yahoo groups instead of just this one. That makes it pretty much useless for most of our purposes.

Other Yahoo group moderators have reported this, and I assume Yahoo will fix it, but I don't know when.

I noticed that today and was very annoyed also. But if you click on the first button after the search.. I think it is "search conversations", then it does search the Lazy Daze messages rather than all groups. The default for hitting enter must have changed.

Dave, you've hit the nail on the head! The button to click is the purple one labeled "Search Groups". I wasn't clicking it, because I wanted to search this group, not all groups as the label implies. But you're right--it works! Thanks for pointing out the solution.
