Over the years, when I needed to get quick information for a Microsoft Platform SDK function, I would Google it and find the MSDN reference page at the top of the list. Recently, the MSDN pages have all but disappeared, or are far down the Google index. I'm now forced to search with Yahoo. Has anyone else noticed this?
For example, I'm working on a Crypto API issue right now, and wanted to get the reference for this function:
CryptVerifyDetachedMessageSignature
If you Google it, you get everything EXCEPT a Microsoft page. If you search in Yahoo, you get what you expect.
What's going on here? Is Google impartial or could it be that in the fierce competition with Microsoft, they are intentionally reducing traffic to Microsoft?
