Sorry, posting this as a NEW topic a SECOND time, because Google Groups mis-handled my reply to "Spring Cleaning" and changed the Subject line.

Right now, I have the main support page open showing three (3) search boxes. It is all too easy to use the wrong one. > > == 2 of 2 == > Date: Wed, Oct 29 2008 3:44 pm > From: Dan > > The new support.apple.com is really screwed up.

I have sometimes been surprised to find what I want to see only after messing around and drilling down two, three, four levels. Earlier today, I searched on "autosense," knowing that there are technical articles dealing with ethernet cables for the past 5-6 years or more. All I found was something quoted from the MacBook manual. The drop down window says to broaden the search query. Wha-a-a-t? Just now, searching on "autosense and ethernet" got me to a list of items which included a link to what I wanted the first time. Taking a couple article numbers from the hits, I then searched using those numbers in the search box next to "Support" on the home page. That gets me to irrelevant hits for iTunes. Oh! There is that third box to the left when the Support tab is open. That works.
