MS Help search algorithm sucks
#1 I don't want to "Select a Discussion Group" (accordingly, since I MUST, I will post to a bunch of discussion groups and hope against all hope that some nice microserf will actually show this to somebody who might actually do something about their awful product, someday, when the sun is shining and they have nothing better to do, except that it will get raised as an issue from only one consumer/end product user, and get killed in a meeting, because it would involve caring about customers, and actually responding to their concerns - god forbid they have an effective Help-seatch-algorithm) #2 I don't want to post a suggestion #3 I want to contact MS directly and tell them their product is awful (Excel search specifically), NOT post to a "Discussion Group" #4 I would like a reply from a person telling me my concerns are valid (and have them admit their product sucks, and the seach function is as weak as a sick kitten) Okay, that said, here is my "suggestion for a Discussion Group": the algorithm for searching for "Help" in Excel is awful and wretched and annoying and frequently useless. I can't believe how difficult microsoft makes it to do the simplest tasks. I find it frustrating to be defeated by software that claims to be useful. Suggestion: TOTALLY REVAMP YOUR SEARCH ALGOTITHM - CLONE THE ONE GOOGLE USES. IT WORKS. BTW, this is called "a complaint", not a rant...
