I, for one, personally think this is a good policy. One of the biggest
mistakes I see, is candidates not knowing the documentation cd backwards and
forwards because they think they will be able to search out the answer. My
advice to anyone taking the lab exam is to know the documentation cd
thoroughly. I personally went over it 3 full times (the configuration
guides), and I believe this is one of the primary reasons I finally passed.
I know it takes away an option, but in this case it is an option that may
lure unthinking candidates into a false sense of security

>>Dear CCIE Candidate,
>>
>>We want to make you aware of a change in the CCIE lab exam environment.
>>While access to Cisco product documentation will still be available during
>>the lab exam at the Documentation Website (UniversCD) at
>>http://www.cisco.com/univercd/home/home.htm, candidates will no longer be
>>able to use the search function on that site. The search has been
>>disabled
>>due to a change in the way product documentation is maintained at Cisco.
>>Instead, candidates should be prepared to use the drop-down index to
>>navigate the Documentation Website (UniversCD).
>>
>>You may want to spend more time becoming familiar with the index and
>>practicing how to quickly locate relevant information. If you would like
>>to
>>reschedule your lab date to give yourself more time to practice using the
>>documentation, please remember our cancellation policy: Changes to CCIE
>>lab
>>exam dates or locations must be made at least 28 days before your
>>scheduled
>>date, to let us schedule other candidates for that seat. The last day to
>>make a change is called your lab exam due date and it can be found by
>>logging into the CCIE database at
>>https://tools.cisco.com/CCIE/Schedule_Lab/CCIEOnline/CCIEOnline and
>>checking
>>your Certification Status. There you can also easily reschedule your exam
>>online.
>>
>>Please remember that no changes are allowed after the lab exam due date.
>>If
>>you do not show up on the day of your exam you will not be eligible for a
>>refund.
>>
>>If you have further questions or need assistance, please contact CCIE
>>customer support at ccie@cisco.com.
