If only I could find everything on google...
In a recent conversation someone asked for the best way to search for technical information on Pyramid. We offer a rich portfolio of support articles on two sites:
Help - the official 'Handbook'

Searching Pyramid Content with Google
There is still one small problem, the rich content is spread over two domains. But there is a simple Google Function that helps to cover the Gap. The Command SITE forces Google to restrict Results to a specific page. Additionally you can use the usual Bolean Serch Terms like AND/OR to filter down or expand the results. In this little example you would search both sites for all content on Y-Axis.
site:community.pyramidanalytics.com OR site:help.pyramidanalytics.com y-axis
See you get Results from Help and Community in the List
Now you can easily search across Help, Community, and our Product pages. And if you still can't find a solution, here is a quick article on how to ask a question in the community.
Let us know how you like these small tips below and if you have questions or topics to be answered.

Yes, this is great, but...
...why don't you simply use the following search string?site:pyramidanalytics.com y-axis
Explanation:
The rich content is not spread over two domains but over two subdomains. So, if you just put the domain name "pyramidanalytics.com" as SITE command you should get the results from both subdomains - and perhaps from other subdomains under pyramidanalytics.com as well.
