So?  That's not what I'm looking for.  I'm looking for details on the
WRKOBJPDM command, not everywhere the word WRKOBJPDM appears.  Those are
2 different things.  The search engine in Infocenter should know that.
A search engine for the web may look for every occurrence of a word and
present results and that can be useful.  But that is not at all what I
expect from a search of a particular site for reference information.  I
hate to say it, but the Library Reader, with it's concepts of
bookshelves and books, was far superior to anything I have seen on
Infocenter.  And I could make my own bookshelves with the most commonly
used books, a real timesaver.

Other than a few exceptions, I don't want the printed manuals back.(*)
I want the manuals online, organized, and searchable for useful
information.



(*) Examples of manuals I print:  Whatever I use for a release update or
other step-by-step procedure, any manuals that I think may be required
if the system is down such as system operations, backup & recovery, etc.
