Hey all,

Just a helpful Hint-O-The-Day for quick searching of MetaLink. I'm sick of having to weed through every search because the results are flooded with DEC Rdb links (an issue that Oracle hasn't resolved yet).

Under the Advanced Site Search, I entered:

{library index}

as my Keywords, selected "ConText Syntax", removed "Technical Forum" from the list of Sources, chose "Single row list" for List type, and Ordered by "Subject".

This brings up a nice page of (mostly) indexes that seem to be good jumping points when looking up info on Metalink by generic category (e.g. Performance or Oracle Context) without having to resort to sorting through your Metalink bookmarks.

HTH! :) Rich
