[Pan-users] Can Pan search group lists?

[Bear Tooth]

Suppose (to take a current case) I want to find a group where I can ask
about a problem I'm having with my new flat panel monitor under RH9. I
want to know if there are any groups for linux and hardware, or for shrike
and configuration, or ..., or ...

Of course I could go dredge through google-groups, bring what I find back
to Pan, and then scroll laboriously through all the sub-sub-sub-alphabets
on gmane or giganews or whatever, hoping it's there. That would be a large
tedious PITA.

What I'd like is a second Find command, "Find Groups" perhaps, that I
could simply type "linux hardware" of "shrike config" or whatever into,
and have it check the list of all groups for any with my search terms in
their names.

Getting back to the case in point: I had in fact stumbled on one, two
or three days ago, by sheer dumb luck; subscribed; dutifully read through
its list of posts, and quite a few particular posts; concluded I was on
topic for it; and posted my query. 

Then I went to look yesterday for any replies. Disaster! I not only
couldn't remember the group's exact name (nor which server it was on) -- I
couldn't even spot it again in my lists of Subscribed groups. 

Happy ending -- surprisingly: some very helpful soul had sent me an email
under the group, from his/her newsreader, which had preserved the headers;
so I could find it after all and look for any other replies, on group.

But I can't count on that happening often.

Is the Find Group capability already there, under some rubric I just don't
recognize? If not, will some developer(s) consider this a feature request?
Pretty please? With sugar on it? TIA!
