i prefer not to use xpat on the server from my provider since it only accepts 3 connections (and this server has the highest priority + strict) and if i have 15 searchgroups it's doing xpat searches most of the time.. the second server i want to disable doesn't support xpat not really a big problem,...

if i create a new searchgroup, there is only a number behind the searchgroup name
not per server (like in NP)
bug ?

would be nice to have priority based on numbers (like NP)

i have 2 newsservers : newszilla.xs4all.nl with priority 128 and Strict enabled news.astraweb.com with priority 60 both servers have msg-id direct enabled now i create an seachgroup #group1 which has an xpath search on the newsgroup alt.binaries.dvd since xs4all doesn't have this group I detached ne...
