Smart DB2 searches
As a follow up to my earlier post about using keyword searches in Firefox, it's simple to run searches of the DB2 documentation, straight from your Firefox address bar:
in the address bar (e.g. "db2 db2look")

That's pretty slick. Thanks, Ian!
Hi Ian,
you may be interested in the Firefox 2 and IE 7 OpenSearch plugin for DB2, available from here: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support/icinfo.html#opensearch

Hi Antonio,
Don't worry -- I'm well aware of the DB2 search plugin: I helped David to test it during development.
The smart search option is great if you want to get rid of the Firefox search bar altogether, yet still retain the ability to search the DB2 Information Center.
Nice info
Regards,
Jack

Thanks for writing this.
I should point out that the URL has changed for DB2 Version 9.5. It is now:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp?tab=search&searchWord=%s
Update: A URL for a quicksearch of just DB2 10.5 content in the new Knowledge Center:
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/search/%s?scope=SSEPGG_10.5.0
Thanks z! Very useful update for the new IBM Knowledge Center.
