Search question: Bug? Refinement Loses Articles Shown to have the Refinement

Question

I searched http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?query=path to desktop for current user environment&refinement=-112,-108,-111,-109,-118&ac=8. This shows several articles "Related to" ".NET Development". Yet clicking the ".NET Development" refinement shows an error page: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?Refinement=-112,-108,-111,-109,-118,26&Query=path+to+desktop+for+current+user+environment.

Answer 2

John, the search you pasted in above has a bunch of refinements that exclude content sources:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?query=path%20to%20desktop%20for%20current%20user%20environment&refinement=-112,-108,-111,-109,-118&ac=8

Current Refinements:

Exclude: Support Knowledge Base(x) Exclude: Blogs(x) Exclude: Downloads(x) Exclude: Forums(x) Exclude: MSDN Magazine(x) | Remove All

Here is the same search with no excludes:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?Query=path+to+desktop+for+current+user+environment

Applying the .NET Development refinement results in this search:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?Refinement=26&Query=path+to+desktop+for+current+user+environment

Let me know if that's giving you what you need.
