Title: Web: Searching Microsoft Website
Date: 1994Jan4

Often when using the search engine at the Microsoft
website it times out and doesn't get back to me or tells
me "no hits" when I know there must be some. When this
happens I go the the Altavista search engine's "advanced" page
(http://www.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=aq)
and do a query like this:

	host:*.microsoft.com AND "SendMessage"

In other words, I ask Altavista to search the Microsoft domain.
It works much than Microsoft's searcher!
