1. Quality of BMC Communities Search feature
Anirban Dutta Jan 17, 2012 4:33 AM (in response to Ash Hall)Hi Sergeant - could you tell me what are you searching for then maybe I can help you. Also you said the "All Communities" option in search is not giving you satisfactory results?

1 of 1 people found this helpfulHi Anirban,
I use the 'All Communities' to ensure that I'm searching articles in all forums, because as you know people post in the wrong place all the time!
Here's one example of where the BMC search isn't intelligent when revealing results:
Search for "ar system optional license tags"
The BMC Communities results are far from useful, infact none of the results on the front page contain anything related to this subject.
The same search in Google reveals 4 top results, of which two are from the BMC Communities site and are very relevant threads:
I am possibly others just use Google now instead of the BMC Communities search, because it saves me a lot of time trawling through irrelevant articles.

Till then and throught the success depends on users helping each other to find answers and resolve queries which should better the content indexing in turn.
