I agree!  Metalink search is all but useless.

Better search engine!  For instance, when you put in a note number,
shouldn't the note with that number be the first one, as it's a 100%
hit?  Instead of  way down there?  It also doesn't support partial word
search.  I think they are using Text option.  They should just use
Google search or something rather than their own lousy searching
algorithm.

        Some good points. You have to have a valid CSI to see support
docs but in general it should be much easier to log in and see which
CSI's you are associated with, who dropped you etc...also I think in
general there should be some sort of way of getting access even without
a CSI for a short period in the event errors have been made, some sort
of "trust" period, especially if you have some sort of established
history, kind of like Ebay rankings or something.
         
        I also have always liked microsofts MVP program and think
Metalink should somehow list/promote some of the folks on this list as
MVP's. Not sure exactly how that would work but I think there are some
advantages to it for everyone.

        I'd like my profile associated to me, with the associations to
CSIs subordinate to that.  As a consultant, I have access to the CSIs of
several different clients.  Occasionally the Metalink Administrator of a
client removes me from their list of users (like when I finish an
assignment).  This has the nasty result of me not being able to access
Metalink at all.  I have to figure out which client did this (sometimes
it's obvious, occasionally not), have them add me back to their list,
then drop their CSI from my profile.  Unfortunately I sometimes only
discover this has happened when I'm trying to get into Metalink to solve
a problem for another client, and these extra steps are a major pain.
         
        If the client removes me from their list, it should just
eliminate my ability to access information related to their CSI, not
keep me from getting into Metalink.

                What could be done to make it better?
                ...
                Well enough of my rant. Would appreciate the thoughts of
others however.
