Found something on MSDN!!!
-
After years of using google.com to search for pages on msdn.com (damned the msdn search sucked big times), today I found what I was looking for quickly!! So it looks like they ended up scrapping that lame msdn search engine and used something serious. (Should be bing engine, I guess). :cool:

The Online Documents Search works somehow. But the local help is even worse than the previous versions.

It must be, because I never use it. But they haven't had a chance to update it so far. (Since they updated the online version). So will we get a mini-Bing or a local-bing coming up with VS 2010?

FWIW, The Code Project Add-In for VS2008 uses the live>bing engine to search msdn.microsoft.com in addition to codeproject.com (they're separate tabs).

Help 2.0 is so terribly broken that Help Tool providers said "no" to it, and MS labeled it "for internal use only". The worst thing about that is HTML Help 1.x would have needed only some rather minor fixes to make it scale better.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

Just a thought. May be these days it's powered by Google? :laugh:
