Revisited: Search Engine Plugins for Firefox to get directly to specific Oracle Patches, MOS Notes, Bugs

Revisited: Following the upgrade from Metalink to My Oracle Support (MOS) I've updated the Note and Bug search engines (files oranote.xml and orabug.xml) per my prior post.

Revisited again 30-NOV-2010: Following the ARU change I've updated the Patch search engine (file orapatch.xml) per my prior post.

Navigate directly to a specific Oracle Patch, MOS/Metalink Note or Bug, speeding things up & sidestep that Flash! You gotta know the Patch/Note/Bug number you wanna get to:

• OraPatch: Javascript Install or grab the XML file.
• OraNote: Javascript Install or grab the XML file.
• OraBug: Javascript Install or grab the XML file.

Catch ya!

Oracle APEX, SEO and Google

One of my major gripes with Oracle APEX is / was its lack of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) friendliness. At least of couple of us down under have almost pulled out our hair trying to get APEX to play nicely with Google, lynx, Apache rewrite etc. without much success. A couple of references here and here (thanks Steve).

Well, the good news is that a "session 0" fix and the related URL redirect issue look to be resolved in APEX 3.1.2 (patch 7313609) recently released, expertly covered by John Scott here , glad that it got your attention John! So that should really help with Google's crawlers and raise the profile of APEX sites using session 0.
