Do the search yourself:

http://groups.google.com/groups/sear...ups.google.com

I get
http://groups.google.com/groups/sear...=b&sitesearch=

And that works OK - it seems your version generates invalid search
syntax. Shows a couple of recent posts. Looks to me like user error.
That part works OK for me in the UK
