Thanks, Aaron, for confirming that it's not just me!  I've been
noticing spotty or missing results searching groups for a while now,
actually, to the point that I gave up trying.  Can't remember exactly
when it started, but I do remember that it used to work pretty well
and then suddenly got significantly worse.

Also, thanks for the tip of trying advanced searches.
