Re: Improved Search improved

That is exactly mpy point Vern.  Its not going to get solved with a search
engine.  But 2 years ago I could find the answer with a couple of clicks. 
Progress <> better.

That'd be cool. BTW, this is NOT InfoCenter, it's from the support page, 
and appears to be completely different.

That search string would probably choke any engine. First, there're no CL 
keywords, right? I tried "physical AND file AND command AND find AND number 
AND records". It returned a lot of things without much relevance, but it 
also returned 
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/apis/qusrmbrd
htm>Retrieve 
Member Description (QUSRMBRD) API. And maybe that link (to something IN 
InfoCenter) references RTVMBRD, which I think is what you want to see.

But that combination of things still cannot be expected to narrow down your 
search enough, I believe.

I tried the same string in google - it's results are worse.
