New TechNet search

When I read Jeff Alexander's announcement of a new TechNet search engine, my mouse practically leaped to click the link - a better way to search TechNet is something we've all wished for.

I went there. I tried it. I was impressed. The default is the TechNet tab, and it gave me great relevant results. Then I clicked the KnowledgeBase tab and that was full of relevant links. Then I clicked the TechNet Blogs tab and went whoa!

I'm constantly using search at work to locate information on TechNet on other products that I might need to reference when writing about DPM, and this is going to be such a time-saver. Try it!

    Yes, I like the One-Big-Button User Interface if it is laundry or microwave oven.

    "Microsoft TechNet Enhanced Search". What the silly name for three-tab and one-button GUI. It works but looks like "for dummies only". No Advanced search. No regular expressions. No "search in search results". No language option.

    (But it is not worst as a grey-headed search system inside TechNet's Microsoft Document Explorer 7.0)
