RE: Pet Peeve

I tend to agree. Sometimes I will simply google it as with all the information out in the internet It seems to be able to find more relevant documents faster. Whats up with that? Other times, I'll just log as SR simply cause I'm wasting time on the search.

Agreed. I have always been negatively amazed at how poor the searching on metalink was. I have been asking for a utility to text search owned TAR/SRs for years, and they still have nothing. They would do well to make an investment and hire some folks to revamp their flagship Support web site.

All,  

Know what irks me to no end about Metalink?  

If you *know* the document number that you want to read and search for it, don't you think it would be the first freeking document listed in the search result list?

Why in the hell do I have to go looking for it? In my case, it was *#18* in the list.  

Unbelievably crappy.
