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.

Jon,
Oh! Your post make me think it was already discontinued on i.
I agree that Net.Data isn't being enhanced, but it's still a supported
option... Maybe a bad option, looking into the future.
But the future of i ins't quite clear to me either.
Thanks,
Rubens

I meant pretty much what I said.
Net.data was discontinued some time ago on all platforms except IBM i.
There was nothing to replace it on the i which is probably the only
reason it wasn't dropped completely. I suspect that if PHP had been
around then, as it is now, IBM would have dropped it completely.
It isn't being enhanced and isn't likely to be so. In other words it
is dead technology. I would not use it for new code just as I would
not design new programs and applications to run in the S/36 environment.
