[c-nsp] Cisco IOS

[Marko Milivojevic]

	With the state of CCO search engine as it is today, few years back I 
decided that it sux and that I won't find anything using it. My Google 
friend came up with wonderful thing called Google Deskbar in which you can 
have shortcuts. So, I type in what I need, press "ctrl-o" and it searches 
"site:cisco.com phrase". It's a lightyear ahead of CCO's search engine in 
it's usefulness.
