My suggested search hierarchy
• Use your brain!• Oracle Reference Manuals• Colleagues• Websites (potentially using Ubiquity,
Bookmarklets)– Google– OTN– AskTom– Metalink
• DBA• Oracle Support
• Predictive search• Hotkey (ctrl, ctrl) with Google Desktop• Need to provide the right search terms• Filter through the chaff
• Concepts• In depth discussions• Great real world examples• Hard to ask a new question
• Typical forum• Obscure problems• More for “newbies”?• Concise search terms• Filter past study questions, poor responses
• Under the hood issues• Confirmation of bugs• Difficult to search
• Suggested search results• Quick hot key (ctrl+space)• Can’t work out how to use version option
• Saves an extra page load
• Feed any blog you like• Categorise them• Need motivation!
