Kees, there used to be an IBM techdoc article where IBM admitted that their search capabilities suck. The suggestion in the article was to use google with a site:ibm.com tag. Not sure if the article is still there. I did a google search on "cfsizer site:ibm.com" and the first hit seems to be what you would expect.

Communication is not really the solution here. If every url in the IBM site that was changed would be communicated to me, I would be flooded and I would direct them immediately to the spam box. And by the time I needed the cfsizer url-change info, I am sure I will not be able to find it anymore. For fun, I tried to find cfsizer, as if I had a non-working link. I went to IBM.COM and for speed I typed cfsizer in the search box. I got *300* matches. Hoping that they were ordered on relevance, I went to the first hit about Z mainframes, but it did not even contain the word "cfsizer". How did this come up in the answers, this is not Facebook, is it, knowing better than I do myself what I want to see. Then second was a cfsizer APAR. The third was a problem about ReporterPLUS (what is that), but again no text "cfsizer" on the page. Etc. since I had other things to do too today, I stopped after two pages of results, but I had not found cfsizer yet. Then, on the IBM.COM site I went to 'Support', although it did was not the first obvious selection in my opinion. In that search box I typed cfsizer and this gave 490 results, all of them more or less related to cfsizer, but as far as I could see, no link to *the* cfsizer page. That's the problem, if you have a huge, complex site like IBM, make it at least well accessible. Each time I found a page, I store it in my favorites, so I can find it back easily. Each time I have a broken link on the IBM site, I am sure this will cost me a lot of time to find the new one or I must hope that a colleague has already found it. Could you give me a useful way to find something (z/OS related) in IBM.COM?
