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 worked for years with S/38, AS/400, and iSeries. For me, working with
the Unix shell has been a real pleasure in comparison. One can write
powerful scripts in a clear, concise manner, and do powerful things
easily from the command line.
I might be able to understand why the Unix shell has advantages if
examples were provided. As an applications programmer I do a lot of
adhoc searches of the system, looking for info as to how an
application works, or why a job bombed. I guess shell piping output to
input would help in that regard. But the many CL programs I write and
maintain have nothing to do with this adhoc searching. I do use the
SQL command line all the time. Maybe adhoc SQL is the equivalent of a
Unix programmers use of the shell. But frequently I regret not having
stored the SQL statements that reported "the breakage and charge off
transactions which affected the A/R for the first 3 days of the week".
