docs.microsoft.com PM here - thanks for the feedback! It takes some time to update all our search results across the two major search engines. Given that some pages have less traction than others, the more obscure content sometimes still is indexed as if it's coming from MSDN.
We have moved most of the library to docs, with redirects in place, so hopefully you won't get too many 404s. If you do - feel free to report them here: https://aka.ms/sitefeedback https://aka.ms/sitefeedback, and we'll address them.
- OJFord 7y ago> the two major search engines What's the second major search engine? I'm genuinely asking, not meaning to poke if it's Bing - I use DDG but just don't have a feel at all for what's most popular after the obvious one. Wikipedia has just 7% market share left for the second, and the rest - thinking about it's probably one that's popular in China and unheard of elsewhere?
- judge2020 7y agoConsidering Verizon has stated their Yahoo and AOL properties are worthless[0], it's probably Bing and the search engines that rely on it (including DDG). 0; https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/verizon-signals-its-yahoo-aol-divisions-are-almost-worthless-n946846 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/verizon-signals-its-y...
- dend 7y agoI was referring to Bing and Google - not because I am trying to omit anything, but rather because these are the two I use the most on the day-to-day.
- losvedir 7y agoDDG is just Bing, so when Bing updates its results so will DDG.
- user5994461 7y agoWhat is the first search engine? Baidu in China. Yandex in Russia. Google in the US. Not sure for India and Latin America. The poster was probably thinking of Bing though, which is ironic because it's maybe less used than these.
- OJFord 7y agoI was assuming a global perspective, for which Google is obviously first. (And I quoted Wikipedia confirming that at a shade under 93% market share.)
- user5994461 7y agoFunny thing, you're describing exactly why you're not assuming a global perspective. Forget about a first, the world is fragmented. To be global is precisely to cater to individual locations around the world. If we are to believe these stats, Google is at 3% market share in China. It's basically non existent. http://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share/all/china http://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share/all/chi... Microsoft has developers everywhere in the world, who need docs. There are major search engines besides Google and Bing.
- OJFord 7y agoOkay, so s/global/whatever you want me to say, for what you definitely know that I mean.
- DaiPlusPlus 7y agoQuestion: Why is Offline documentation and the Help Viewer in Visual Studio 2017 still horribly broken? I keep it around for when I don’t have internet access but it’s next to useless. Why keep up the pretence? (In comparison, the CHM and DocEx from VS6 through VS2008 work perfectly and are very reliable)
- dend 7y agoWhat particular aspect of it is broken? Genuinely asking the question, because I want to make sure we address major issues in the customer experience that you have.
- DaiPlusPlus 7y agoMassive amounts of duplicated content. Broken images and stylesheets. I’ve downloaded all content but pressing F1 on a symbol in VS informs me the content is only available online.
