Knowing the "magic word" is also a huge stumbling block I have with successfully
searching the knowledge base and email archives of
the forum. Even searching through my locally cached emails is difficult.
With MSDN I rely heavily on keeping old versions around, because I've noticed that on
the later versions older SDK calls don't even
show up in the index..
But hte main thing wth docs is to know you'll never hit perfection, but to not let
that thought slow you down from continually
striving for improvement. :)
