Re: Another opinion on InfoCenter -- MIDRANGE-L

I'm a little perplexed by the search, as well. In times past, the problem (if one chooses to call it that) was that too many results were returned. But I'll chalk that up to not refining my search. But the searches, it seemed, had to be exact matches.

I did searches similar to Bryan's except I used "DDS" and "Join" which, I thought, would return gazillions of matches. Instead each returned 3 and 2, respectively.

I, also, tried finding "Join" through the Database / Reference / Database Information Finder. Under each of the sections (DB2 tasks, DB2 and SQL examples) after making a selection and pressing the GO button, nothing happens. Isn't something supposed to happen?

BUT the rest of the site is light years faster and, FWIW, I use Firefox. No hiccups here.

This is sooo much better.
Now if the search worked better...
example:
search term IFS
V5R1
Results 1 to 35 out of 180 total.
V5R2
Search Results
Results 1 to 35 out of 170 total.
V5R3
Results 1 to 1 out of 1 total.
For som reason I doubt the IFS has become less important over the three
versions.

as important in the face of the JRE problems. Fixes have been in the pipeline for a while now. So, will little additional fanfare, I invite each of you that has had problems with the Information Center navigation

the past to try the V5R3 English site sometime at your convenience.
