  6. My suggested search hierarchy • Use your brain! • Oracle Reference Manuals • Colleagues • Websites (potentially using Ubiquity, Bookmarklets) • Google • OTN • AskTom • Metalink • DBA • Oracle Support

  7. Predictive search • Hotkey (ctrl, ctrl) with Google Desktop • Need to provide the right search terms • Filter through the chaff

  8. Concepts • In depth discussions • Great real world examples • Hard to ask a new question

  9. Typical forum • Obscure problems • More for “newbies”? • Concise search terms • Filter past study questions, poor responses

  10. Under the hood issues • Confirmation of bugs • Difficult to search

  11. Suggested search results • Quick hot key (ctrl+space) • Can’t work out how to use version option

  12. Saves an extra page load

  13. Feed any blog you like • Categorise them • Need motivation!
