  • Searching the Information Center

    June 7, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Hey, David:

    What is the best way to search IBM‘s online Information Center? I have tried searching using IBM’s search, but the order of the results is usually wrong. You mentioned using Google, but it finds matches on other sites. How do you get Google to limit results to one site? When I specify the Information Center domain on the advanced search, my search results are zero.

    — Mark

    The fastest, easiest, and most flexible way I have found to search IBM’s online Information Center is to use Google. Instead of using Google’s advanced search, I use Google’s toolbar. The Google toolbar adds a search toolbar to Internet Explorer that makes it easy to search a site or page.

    Go to the Google Toolbar Home page to download the toolbar. Once you have the toolbar installed, you can hide or enable it from Internet Explorer’s View > Toolbars drop-down menu.

    If you are not using Internet Explorer, you can still perform context-sensitive searches with Google. Just specify the URL of the site you would like to limit your search to using the site:searchurl in the search criteria. For example, to search for grep on the Information Center’s site, go to the Google search site and specify the following: site:publib.boulder.ibm.com grep.
