[pca] [pca-proxy]: Local patch/pca server and https on S10+apache2 env

[Don O'Malley]

Hi Martin,

As you are probably well aware SunSolve previously had it's own search 
tool (i.e. the "SunSolve Advanced Search"), which allowed customers to 
select the "SunSolve Collection" (eg. Bug Reports, Patch Descriptions, 
SunAlerts, Technical Instruction, etc) that they wished to search by.

This search tool has since been integrated into "Sun Search", available 
at http://search.sun.com/main/index.jsp (or by using the search box at 
the top of any sun.com webpage).

The new Sun Search tool does have the ability to filter by collections 
too, but unfortunately it's not exactly obvious that this is possible.

If you go to http://search.sun.com/main/index.jsp and perform a search - 
search for "81509", for example 
(http://search.sun.com/main/index.jsp?qt=81509&reslang=en&col=main-all) 
- you will see that the document you were looking for is actually the 
first result returned.
This aside, you can select the "SunSolve Collection" using the "Filter 
Results By" section on the left side of the Sun Search screen.
If you expand "Support KB" from the options on the left you will see all 
of the old "SunSolve Collections" listed and clicking on any one of 
these (btw - InfoDocs = Technical Instruction), will filter the results 
to only show the matching results for that "SunSolve Collection".

I realize that this interface is not nearly as intuitive as it might be, 
but all of the old functionality is still there; you just need to know 
how to find it I guess :(

HTH,
-Don
