To follow up on Doc's comment, when I search for SAS syntax, Google often points me to SAS 9.2 documentation, or even the V8 doc!  Any way for SAS to tell search engines to deemphasize the 9.2 doc and to point to 9.3 or 9.4 instead?

I just add the version number to the search for it,

excel import 9.4 site:sas.com

I have tried that, too, but it is not always successful.

To get away from the Google algorithm, which is based on total hits, set up a bot that accesses the 9.4 documentation through Google.  Once you get a GIG of hits, the algorithm should recognize the 9.4 documentation as the "popular" version.

I am sure Google will love you for doing this, though...
