Site Services

I hate the default search service that comes with http://blogs.msdn.com. It never seems to pick out relevant articles or find what I'm looking for. I've put a quick replacement in the news section to try out. Let me know if you think it's worth having and I'll pitch the current search box to put this in.

The translation service is more of a toy. Again, let me know if you think it's worth keeping or is a waste of space.

# re: Site Services

The translation service... we're printing out the "best-ofs" for everyones amusement. Recently, I managed to set the locale of my german firefox to en-US, forcing all those sites from microsoft NOT to be trans-comedia-lated.

Regarding search functionality: I prefer the google keyword "site:". much better and faster hits.

(btw: open about:config and change the entry "general.useragent.locale" to "en-US")
