Papy,
Thank you for the reply.
I don't know if Forums is using the Bing search engine or not. To be clear, I am referring tithe Forums website. Other Microsoft search engines on Microsoft sites are more effective. I really miss the old style "Advanced Search" though.
For a moment, I considered your request to change the case of the title. However in lieu of a negative response to fixing the problem, I'm thinking leaving it the original way captures my emotions at the moment I wrote this.
It's all good to be polite and cerebral, but come on! The forums could be a powerful resource, but I guess with your more intellectual response, there still isn't any fire lighted around this. (Notice I used italics - which in
other circles is considered bad form with the inherent suggestion that caps are more appropriate.)
I would have no problem with the crummy search engine used on this site, IF there were only a few articles. However, I am dealing with a poorly documented Microsoft product that is showing a tremendous potential, but ONLY if I can support it, and there are
thousands of posts to search through.
The best way to support it (that I can see), is to refer to the excellent work previously done by others in the analysis and presentation of problems and solutions in the Forums Website (and to which I will contribute some of my experience - as I get there).
But as I mentioned in my first post, it is nearly impossible to use this site as an effective, timely resource, simply because Microsoft has used a surprisingly crummy search engine.
This singular failure on Microsoft's part results in an exponentially impossible wasted accumulation of time by the people trying to implement and support Microsoft's products using the Forums site. It is totally counter productive not only to us customers
but to Microsoft itself.
If you have any sway at all Papy, please pass this on to someone who may "give a damn" within Microsoft so it can be turned into a priority action item and resolved ASAP.
Thanks,
Bob.
