Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Searches on OTN
Tom,
I ran into this just last night. Ryan was asking about Bjorn Engsig's paper, and I had no luck searching for it. I eventually found an old reference containing the path which was still good (or, at least, close enough).
I tried "cursor sharing Engsig", "cursor_sharing Engsig", and a few other variations, and what I got was truly bizarre.
I just tried it again, and got results like: Type Your Title Here: Oracle9i Database O O R RA AC CL LE E9 9 I I P P E ER RF FO OR RM MA AN NC CE E M M A AN NA AG GE EM ME EN NT T: : T T...

Yeah, that makes sense.....not!
So, yeah, I think it pretty much sucks.

Subject: Searches on OTN
Has anyone tried searching for something on the Oracle Technet Site? I'm not sure what searching software they use, but it returns the more random list of stuff I've ever seen.
Try searching for one of their software products and see what happens. You get everything but what you ask for. I've been trying to find info on Oracle Pure Names. And yesterday, on Oracle Work Flow. You'd think that if you entered those things in the search field, it would come up with a list of stuff that, at the top of the list, would be their own product.
I guess I'm not doing it right.
