99% of VBA is used in Excel. The others are just an aberration as far as the indexers are concerned.

I understand, and to be fair, half the reason this frustrates me is because I wish I could be using literally any other language. Regardless, I'm often looking up classes that a) don't exist in Excel, and b) don't exist in the version of VBA used in the linked page. It's extremely confusing to click on a link and not having a single reference to the class you are trying to look up.

Furthermore, VBA <> VB. I wish I could just tell Google to stop showing me answers for VB6. It would be fantastic if I could use VB. My problems would basically solve themselves, but I'm not using VB, I'm using VBA.

Have you tried adding '-VB6' to your search queries? It will filter out those results.

That'll also filter out eg "This is only used in VBA, it's not used in VB6".

Maybe:

> VBA AROUND(20) VB6 | vba -vb6

would work?
