Re: Improved Search (was: New IBM web site search)

From: Neil Palmer <neilp@dpslink.com>

I think they need to rethink their answer.  Client Access should
definitely be included.

I think IBM should just change the url for their "new improved search" to
"www.google.com" and put their efforts into making sure that all IBM web
pages get indexed by Google.

Google isn't confused (like IBM is) about the integration of IBM products.
They don't have any turf wars going on, like IBM does.  They don't have any
"that isn't my job" problems with their search engine.

I always search for IBM stuff in Google.  I put "site:ibm.com" as one of the
search arguments and get a fairly complete list of what is available on
_ALL_ of the "ibm.com" sites.

Neil Palmer, and other people in this list:

When I read your post,
Check this out:
http://www-912.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/document/27574128

I thought "let's try this *improved* search, see how good it is".
Some weeks ago, I asked a question on compatibility of ClientAccess V3.2.0
and
Windows/XP, and Bryan Dietz pointed me to the right URL:
"your answer is here -->
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/access/supportedos.htm";
which I really appreciated.

So I went to the *improved* search::
<http://www-912.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/document/27574128>
and tried it, going to
<http://www-912.ibm.com/ImprovedSearch/Search.jsp?selScope=More&q=> ,
with "Select iSeries search options" in the pull down on top (as
suggested) and search for:   5763-XD1 AND V3R2M0 AND Windows XP which
was my original headache. I was expecting to get, at least, the page
mentioned above from B.Dietz, where I got what I needed. What did I get ?
Just
one
reference to a PSP ...


Hopefully this will clarify why the "Improved Search" did not provide you
with the results you expected to see. Thanks again for using electronic
services!
