Quickly find needed NetWeaver information on help.sap.com

In my personal opinion, Search function on help.sap.com is a powerful, but not really a quick option. What I found is working better for me, is using … google.com to search results on help.sap.com. To do this you need to limit searched servers in google.com with “site:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04 ” or “site:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s ” and then key words you are looking for. As on the screenshot below:

I am using Google to do my search, but I believe same approach (limit results to one site only) is available in all wide-used search engines.

A similar concept can be used to search the SDN site:

try "sso ticket site:.sdn.sap.com"

(and that syntax doesn't seem to work with www.live.com!)

...sorry for my stupid question: but wouldn't it enough to use "find" function on the same help.sap.com site ?
I know it's really hard surfing through the entire hierarchy tree, but searching thanks to "find" function make life very easier (in other words, it doesn't take a Page/Brin and their Google engine to do this search !)

Bye,

... I have mentioned it in my blog. But my point was abour *quick* search, and for me google does it faster. I use Google most of the time to find something on help.sap.com, and just wanted to share my way with others 🙂

Thanks for your post,
Vitaliy
