From: Brian Gregory [UK] on 17 May 2010 18:13 What happened to Microsoft Knowledgebase ?? When I search on the page that now comes up when I use my old Knowledgebase bookmark all I get are pages from discussion groups. I do not want to have to sift through long discussions about what the answer to my problem might be, I just want the answer in the form of a knowledgebase article. Where are the knowledgebase articles? -- Brian Gregory. (In the UK) ng(a)bgdsv.co.uk To email me remove the letter vee.

I can see no way to stop it producing millions of results from discussion groups and only show me knowledgebase articles. -- Brian Gregory.

Hmm, same here; they've rearranged again. Go to Google and type into the box the following: microsoft know Knowledge Base Advanced Search http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 How to query the Microsoft Knowledge Base by using keywords and query words: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242450 It should show you several possibilities for microsoft knowledgebase, one of which is XP. http://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+knowledge+base+xp&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=&rlz=1I7ADRA_en which is a search results page with a lot of information, plus there is: http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?form=MSHOME&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=knowledge+base which lists a lot of things in links, Still seems to work as well as it ever did; just a different look, I guess.

Plus the fact they change things around way too much without sufficient benefit. Try this -- it works really well... Bring up the Google Search page at google.com Then enter your search words, along with your OS (e.g. "XP") then finish the line with "site:microsoft.com/kb" So your Google search might look like this: system registry cannot boot xp site:microsoft.com/kb IMHO, this is much more productive.
