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.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Luckily you're not moving to a Unix variant... that's even older as AS/400.
Funny that such things are today's business criteria ?

In our case, we are a sort of glorified ASP in an industry vertical (more to it than that, but not important.) The person in the driver's seat is certainly not uninformed. He has made the decision that it doesn't look good on the corporate resume to be running the business on an AS400 (he insists on calling it that) which is 20 year old technology, and therefore not cool. Consequently, we dump it, and move everything possible to Windows. What's not possible, we move to Oracle, and we do everything with packages, thereby throwing out 20 years of development effort, and do integration, not programming. It makes some sense from a marketing perspective, and that's what he gets paid for. He really doesn't care much about anything else.
