Which search box did you use? The one right above the Contents area combined with a scope setting to limit the shelf or manual should do the trick. I found it pretty easy to create a custom scope list by clicking Scope, then selecting only the specific areas I wanted to search. Give it an easily remembered name and your search should be much more relevant.
That said, I'm still a fan of Library Server but am slowly learning to work my way through the InfoCenters.

Wanting to look up some HLASM features, I resigned myself to trying InfoCenter for 2.1. My experience: On the Publibz z/OS main page, I find a link to: z/OS V2R1 Information Center http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v2r1/index.jsp ... a page with two frames. The left frame is a list of shelves; some useful things: HLASM, ISPF, TSO, Unix, ... I had to scramble to find JCL; it's on the MVS shelf. Clicking on a shelf opens the right page to a list of books on that shelf. Each book has Abstract|TOC|PDF options. TOC opens the TOC; Clicking on an entry opens that section. Things got much better when I learned to use the "Back" button in that right frame rather than the browser's "Back" button. It might get tolerable with an "InfoCenter for Dummies" tutorial. Is there one? But: o I don't know how to search a book or a shelf for a string? Is it possible? The "Search" windows return either hundreds of hits or a few irrelevant hits. o LOOKAT is sorely absent. Could this be restored with an index? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
