When they have a link for a search engine, they should let it pertain to that particular
section, whether it's storage.ibm.com, networking.ibm.com, software.ibm.com, etc.,
and have a link to the main search engine for those who need it. I know they have the
processing power and capability of doing this...

Some of their pages are pitiful. I couldn't even view the page for IE 4.0 on Solaris
(or something related) on a Mac with Netscape Communicator 4.04. And in general,
their pages are cheap. I'm not saying mine are better, but for a big corporation,
I've seen better from individuals and smaller corporations.
