Check this out: "http://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Awiki.centos.org +alias&go=&form=QBRE3" "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awiki.centos.org +alias&btnG=Google+Search" These are the same searches on alias but nothing comes up. So the person can not find what they are looking for. Even just a general search you can not find nothing in the wiki unless you go to the wiki itself. Side Note: Even if I leverage Microsofts SOAP/XMLRPC interface to Bing in a web application I make with a custom search string for example the wiki, it want find what you want. So this brings the question what is blocking it? Of my CentOS or RHEL clients I do point them directly to the wiki. Even though they are hosted in the same domain they really get more than just overlooked from firsthand experiance with my own clients. I think a lot of people expect a kb.centos.org technet.centos.org so to speak. They expect the clickity click and it's all done Microsoft way and that's never going to happen. John
