Rafiki121, my name is Marc Saracco and I am a member of COE's Headquarters staff. I duplicated your search and was able to acheive results. Take a look at the link below.

http://www.coe.org/Collaboration/DiscussionForum/ActiveDiscussions/tabid/210/view/search/f/6/m/AllWords/t/Posts/Default.aspx?q=dimension+size

Rather than hitting enter after entering a search item click the search link. Let me know if this helps. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any other questions. Thanks.

Hi Marc! Thanks for replying...I've had this question too...
If I type in a search term, and press enter, I'm taken here:
http://www.coe.org/SearchResults/tabid/37/Default.aspx?Search=

Now I understand what you said, and I recognize that clicking the link works, but I have to ask why?
The COE search behavior is different, in this respect, from every other site I've used.
My recommendations:
1) Change things such that when enter is pressed, the search is executed.
2) Add some information at the URL above which explains to the user what went wrong, and that they have to click "search"

Thanks for listening.

I agree with Joe. Even though this is simple to figure out for some reason it took me a while to understand what was going on. We get so used to hitting the enter key to execute our search (like other sites) that it didn't register to me what was going on (that I have to click the search button). What threw me off was that when I hit enter I go to the Michigan RUG area. (I just tried it again and now I go to a page with nothing but the COE heading.)

This is just a very minor inconvenience for me but for a new user already frustrated by learning CATIA and searhing for help it's really annoying until you figure it out. I know because I'm learning ProE and their search site makes me really appreciate this one!

I agree also, the search function has always baffled me and this one doesn't work like any other I've ever used - I guess I now know why, I habitually use the keyboard wherever possible.
