Searching the MSDN Library CD

Does anyone else pull their hair out trying to find what you're looking for using the MSDN search tool? I usually enter a few key-words and the best 'hits' (by rank) are Q&A articles for FAQs which are 100 pages long and are ranked high because each of my key-words is used in separate sections of the FAQ---thus I don't find what I'm looking for after skimming the document--wasting 10 minutes in the process. Has anyone found a better method for quickly arriving at the spot you want? thanks! JennyP
