Can't follow that link without being an MSN user?

Apparently we aren't wanted here. :( Can we apply for amnesty?

I just get an empty page after I've logged in.

It does work now. I typed 'printf' and the first page non of the links were to Microsoft or MSDN. Is that right?

Robert, what browser are you using? My client side script might be IE-only for all I know (I am no expert in it). You also need Javascript enabled in your browser: if the client script fails to run (for whatever reason), then you will get a vanilla MSN Search of hat you input.

Nice. This may give me the kick in the rear to work up a toolbar add-in that filters out the WinCE/archive/Japan stuff. Thanks for following though on the annoyance...

But, there's a tiny bit of a bug - the script confuses the No WinCE option and the no archive option.

I'm seeing the same kinds of vanilla results that Robert is (eg 'xml parsing samples'). I'm using IE with script enabled.

I have fixed the CE/achive mixup and added an Error page, so those folks having problems might be able to provide me with some more diagnostics.

Try using this URL instead

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&domains=blogs.msdn.com%3Bmsdn.microsoft.com&q=whatever&btnG=Search&sitesearch=msdn.microsoft.com

Little effort with ability to add your favorite places.
