The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I tried pasting the link, and removing the -912 but that didn't
work. Someone once told me to change links from ibm and simplify
these prefixes, but apparently that's not always a good idea.
Links with the '-912' seem consistently only to function with that
specific www suffix; I do not recall ever successfully having tested a
link from which that suffix was removed, such that the www.ibm.com was
always unable to redirect to a functional address [whereby the -912 was
implicitly added]. I seem to recall there was one other similarly
intransigent www-suffix, but mostly whatever the suffix being trimmed to
leave just the www will be functional, and on rare occasions will be
seen to have redirected to something other [a backup server?] than what
is typically seen; e.g. something typically seen as www-01 might be seen
as www-06 when requesting to visit a www.ibm.com, whereas an attempt
explicitly to visit the www-01 address will fail, thus dropping the
suffix proves to be useful.
