I totally agree with you,
I never use the search function, I think it slows
you down actually. There is no faster way to find
the info than just knowing where it's at.
I printed out the entire doc cd (12.2, 12.3 and
12.4) and arranged it into 3 ring binders. Then I
went through each and every page...tedius, but I
found it's really the best way to learn.

>>>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
