Problems when trying to refine search

Question

Hello,

I tested MSDN Online by searching the CreateDirectory function.
So, I entered : "create directory" in the search textbox.

I have too many results but I cannot refine with "platform sdk".

How to search win32 functions ?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Try this search and let me know if it gets you closer to what you need. The trick for me was using 'createdirectory'

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?Refinement=86%2c117&Query=CreateDirectory+

Thanks for using MSDN Search,

Thank you.

But it is very strange, I didn't have this results with the same criteria. And Win32 & COM didn't appear in "Refine by Topic" list, I only had .NET criteria.

Answer 3

When I searched using 'create directory' (no quotes; note the space) I didn't see the Win32 & Com refinement (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?query=create%20directory&ac=3)

When I searched using 'createdirectory' (no quotes; note the space) I got results and the Win32 & Com refintement. Does that work for you?
