MSDN Search improves

Augmented Reality 1 Minute

Gerardo Dada reports that MSDN Search has improved. I don’t use MSDN Search anymore. I use MSN or Google when I need to find something on MSDN. How about you? How do you find this new search?

  1. For a long time I’ve just gone to google and done a site:msdn.microsoft.com. In fact, when I’ve wanted to search support.microsoft.com… same deal.

    More recently I’ve stuck site:msdn2.microsoft.com in instead… it’s a hella lot more friendly to Firefox (they realise that their developers use other browsers, definately a step in the right direction.) Sure the docs are for VS2005 mainly, but I’ve not found anything (yet, in my job) that it didn’t have the right answer for.

  3. Still questionable to mix desktop and CE results together. Just as bad as MSDN library DVDs, which says a lot unfortunately…

  5. Same thing for me. I’m sorry to say that before Google became hot, I was using the MSDN library search. Today, I find the MSDN articles I’m looking for through Google.

  7. I use Google whenever I have to search Microsoft’s sites (especially the support one). I get the result I want right away, instead of going through pages of random pages that just happen to have the few keywords I want.
