When they degenerated from publibz->InfoCenter->KnowledgeCenter, they
discarded their search engine (austerity?) and let Google take over.  This was
bad if you wanted to search a particular release, shelf, or volume; good if you
had no idea where to look.  Robots were welcome in IC and KC even as
they're shunned in publibz.

Searching for a message code or APAR number with Google is almost as good
as LookAt; searching for a 3-character ABEND code is hopeless.
