No, that's not the problem.
The problem is people are too lazy to learn to find their way in the documentation.
Once you know sql*loader and imp and exp are in the Utilities Manual you don't need to execute searches like you specify. Once you know there is a master index and a master glossary, you start to use those.
If you have a question about RMAN, don't specify RMAN in the search window, go to the home page for your version and click the list of books etc.

Please don't state the oracle search is terrible. It is simply NOT true.
The search is terrible for the lazy ones. I agree William H Gates III has poisoned everyone and made everyone lazy. Using the products of William H Gates III, you don't have to search, because it's simply not there, or in Mickeysoft Winblows 3000.
