RE: FLASH: Technotes thoughts

Hi Jeremy -

It used to be set up this way, but it changed.


There was a time where, searching from the Flash Support Center, you could

search the text of the TechNotes. This changed to a keyword-based search.

The result - fewer matches, but more relevant... the same trade-off you get

with any search engine.


I would defer to what JD said as well. We're working on better systems and

ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the TechNotes. This will hopefully be

addressed soon. In the meantime, it works pretty well most of the time, and

I always welcome feedback on how we can make them better. This would include

any tips or ideas about adding add'l keywords to existing TechNotes. I'm all

for it.


Matt
