There is a utility on http://arswiki.org/projects/dotnetutil called
ARS_KBImport.  It is used to download and import KB articles into a Remedy
form.  From there you can perform regular Remedy searches.

Since BMC changed their URL format (ie.
http://rkm.bmc.com/rkm/viewdoc.jsp?doc=KM-000001001282) the utility will
need to be updated to accommodate.    If anyone wants to update it, it's
open source and written in .Net.
