I haven't tried the new search engine, but I recommend caution when
trying to narrow the search to a particular platform. The algorithm
that was used to assign the appropriate platform(s) to a document is
"interesting." I discovered, for example, that POSIX-related SRs
against the C/iX Library might be missed if your search doesn't
include RTE. So I got in the habit of searching on ALL platforms
when looking for an SR that I knew should be there.
