Guest Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) It failed because of the extra hyphen between Windows and XP. It should be "WindowsXP" not "Windows-XP". That's why I only use the KB number when searching. Fewer points of failure. Google ignores punctuation, so of course it found the term regardless of the errant hyphen.

Tripredacus Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I hate searching for things with Google. I wish they had an advanced mode that doesn't search for related terms and also supported boolean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I usually don't have any trouble with Google ... I type in ..."XP KB XXXXXXX download" ... and the MS download page is usually always there either first or second.... maybe I didn't fully understand the conversation, in that case just disregard !
