I am just amazed that a company as large as Oracle can have a web site that
sucks so bad.

Not only in the wrong place, it is the DEFAULT button... instead of submit
being default...

Seems someone in Oracle needs to learn web design, removing the quick search
is bad and the performance is woeful, oh and the view saved searches button
is in the wrong place it should be away from the submit button and should be
somewhere on the left, but then again if the guys that built the site aren't
from western countries then perhaps it all seems normal to them
