Hi!

To my knowledge, searching for a knowledge base ID in the "Search Support"
page has never worked. I've verified this in Netscape 3,4, IE 3 and 4 during
the last nine months.

It is really annoying to find yourself using the workaround of copying a URL
of some other kb article and manually entering the KB ID wanted. Like getting:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q165/5/39.asp
                                                  ^^^^^^^^
and manually entering the kb id you want here, which works.


Why don't you either:
* Fix it. You've had *a lot* of time to identify and correct this issue or
* Remove the "search for KB ID" as a search option.

I don't care what you do about it. You'll probably just ignore it, and several
years from now, I'll still be copy-pasting url's :-)
