Bob,

  I've tried your link. It looks like they have finally broken the keyword
search completely. I and my co-workers have found the new search completely
useless. I think I've managed to find 1 answer out of maybe 100 queries. 

  I have sent my feedback to Symantec. I told them that the natural language
query might work for Joe average user of NAV, but when I'm trying to do a
keyword search off of a specific error message, it is useless.

  Maybe I'm just to old to get used to change, but this change in the
support site has completely thrown me.

If you don't like the engine touted in technote 282968 below, you can still
access the Boolean search engine at this link:

New Search Solution from Symantec Enterprise Technical Services

http://support.veritas.com/docs/282968

 

Details:

Enterprise Support Customers- 

We are pleased to announce the release of the first phase of a new era of
enterprise level technical support. As a result of customer satisfaction
surveys and feedback collected from various customer channels we are
building a more robust self-service experience for you, our enterprise
support customers. The first, and most visible, part of this new experience
is the introduction of an entirely new search engine designed to bring you
the right answer faster and more reliably than ever before. 

This new search engine is based on Natural Language Processing (NLP)
technology.  Unlike an imprecise keyword search engine, our new NLP works
best when it has more details.  For example, in the past, a search for
"drivers" might have yielded a range of documents related to the download,
installation, update, or driver related errors on a target system. There
were too many results, and the required document may have been far down the
list, requiring valuable time and effort scanning results. 

With the new search engine, you are free to ask for exactly what you want
and limit the results to only those that matter. For example, if you are
looking to download drivers ask "Where can I download tape device drivers
for Backup Exec version 10?" and get just a few very specific documents in
return.  As mentioned above, our new search is a Natural Language Processing
search engine and works better with questions or phrases than with a keyword
style search. Providing more words is better, and questions or multiple
keywords will elicit better results than one or two key words.

For further tips please click on the "Search Tips" link on the Enterprise
Support landing page.

In the end, our mission is to deliver the right answer as the top result for
your specific question. Your issue - your words - your answer. Quick and
painless problem resolution at a pace we expect will set a new industry
standard.

On behalf of the Engineers and Management at Symantec Corporation, thank you
again for your loyalty and patience as we undertake this ambitious project.
