A while ago I posted a thread about technet getting worse for searching - Finding irrelevant articles or nothing at all.
Didn't realise it but I had the answer in front of me all the time - The Google toolbar! (or even google itself!)
Search for
"subject" site:Microsoft.com
And away it goes, searching for your "subject" only on the microsoft site! Damn site faster too!
Hurrah! No more grey hairs!
