I just upgraded to Rad Studio 2007 and have been doing nothing but
cursing this frick'n new help method.

Is it me or could someone please enlighten me on why I'm unable to find
any details regarding most of the delphi language. ESPECIALLY when I do
a search. It is showing mostly .NET stuff.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

Set the filter in the MS Document explorer to "RAD Studio", that will
cut out all the .NET and SDK stuff. Unfortunately the filter is reset
when you invoke the help from inside the IDE via Ctrl-F1 or F1.

Thanks Peter. That definitely helps.

Strange thing is that when I click the "Search" tab and then try to set
the language from the drop down, I'm not seeing any for the Delphi
stuff. Is this the correct operation and have we lost the ability to
search for anything other than the predefined keywords?

Thanks again,

This kind of search (full text search) seems to only work if you have
no filters applied. Which means all the garbage is back <sg>.
