You're joking, right? You must be joking. No offence intended. So did I get this right: <rant> - Firstly, I start a KC search and will get a list of hits. - Secondly I choose one if the hits, the try to find out what's the filename is (from the URL in the browser I guess) - Thirdly, I start all over with the search, but this time add that "inurl:...." tag Not anywhere near what I need. In BookMaster, in Library Reader, in PDFs, I can choose a book, then search within that book and easily jump from hit to hit. This is what I need. The browser interface and with it KC is fine for some specific tasks, such as when I can enter the search string so that I'm getting straight to the point, e.g. looking up a message or a API service, etc. The browser interface is just a pain in the neck when I want to read a book or browse owner it. It's a never ending journey of clicking links and links and links. Shudder. Others often confess here they hate JCL or they hate EBCDIC. I hate to confess I hate the browser, or more to the point the fact that we are being force more and more to do everything in a browser. Don't get me wrong, the browser and with it the internet is a great invention, no doubt. But, the browser is just not made to replace every functionality clever programs offer. IBM DO NOT TAKE US THE PDFs AWAY. What I need in KC is the good search capability it offers, being able to read hits, *and* if need comes up to click on a link right there to get the PDF. </rant> >but also check out the more formal Search Scope Catalog experiment ( >https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2/zos->search/zossearchscopes.html > ). Let me know what you think! Same here. It returns a list of hits, but then when clicking on one, I'm left alone with the browser with not way to find the places in the book where the search key was found and to jump from hit to hit in the book. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
