How do i view 'Today, Yesterday' search options in finder sidebar?

Today i just got a new iMac, previously using a 2009 macbook. A feature in the finder sidebar that i use everyday is no longer there, nor can i find a setting to show/unhide it. The 'Today' 'search for' sorting option. i use it all the time when sorting through thousands of photos and files i'm not about to rename. When sorting through my photos, i open the ones i wish to later use, then close them. When going to import those chosen files later into a program or upload them online, i can then select them all in a cluster, using the Today tab on the left sidebar.
This feature is very important to me, and not having it is creating a huge amount of time trying to search and upload files one at a time...
How do i get the date sorting options back in the sidebar?

Thanks & Regards

As far as I know there is not any auto increment data type in Oracle. Instead of this you should create a sequence and get the next value of the sequence while creating a row in your table.
CREATE SEQUENCE Test_Sequence ;
CREATE TABLE Test_Table ( Id NUMBER , Foo VARCHAR2(4) ) ;
ALTER TABLE Test_Table ADD CONSTRAINT Test_Table_PK_Id PRIMARY KEY ( Id ) ;
INSERT INTO Test_Table ( Id , Information ) VALUES ( Test_Sequence.NEXTVAL , 'FOO' ) ;

How Can I View Only The Search Results

I'm very frustrated trying to display only my 5 star rated images so that I can export them. WhenI search I get all the five star images plus all the other images in stacks with them. How can I just ge the search result images?

For that you would need to unstack your images from the stack. If your image is a part of the stack and it meets the desired search criteria ( in your case 5 star), then complete stack is shown in the search results.
If you want to bypass complete stack out of your search , you can use Find by Details (Metadata) search as -
Rating is 5
And
Stack is not in a stack

Search Options in Finder Windows

Hi
Is there an option to refine the Search function in Finder Windows? Just now, this option searches beginning with file names. Meaning: if I want to find a file named "1999 - dataland" I get NO results when I search for "dataland".
I think this is way below the possibilities of that option, especially when utilities like "Find Any File" finds the correct files.
Thanks
PK

If you are searching just for file names, try cmd-ctrl-F which just searches file names. While it still says filename "matches," it seems to be using "contains."
I don't know if there is a way to set the defaults to "contains."

Remove Shared option from Finder Sidebar in OSX 10.5

Afternoon all
We are using a small number of iMac’s in our network, all of which are still using OSX 10.5 (v10.5.8). As our network is predominantly Microsoft based, we have no central control over the iMac’s, thus any configuration of them is done locally via the Workgroup Manager (WMG).
We have locked the iMac’s down using the WMG to prevent our end users from accessing certain applications etc.... However one default item that is still in place that is causing us concern is the Shared option in the Finder sidebar. If a user clicks on the Shared option, they can browse all the shared folders; and see all the devices attached to the network (Desktops, Servers etc…)
We know that you can disabled the Shared option for the current user by click on Finder > Preferences > Sidebar. However we cannot see a similar option to disable it via the WMG. We cannot seem to find either a specific plist file for the sidebar that we could edit and use for all users.
This raises two questions:
Does the WMG for 10.5 allow you to disable items in the sidebar like the Shared option?
If it cannot, do the newer version of OSX/WMG have this functionality?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated to get this issue resolved

Morning
Sorry for the delay in replying.
The lockdown is being performed on the root account. As it is a local account and cannot see the domain, there are no items populated in the /User/Shared folder
As for editing the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist file, if we could find a way of opening it so that its contents appear in a descriptive manner so that we could edited it, then that could be a possibility. However even if we could do that, how could we use that file so that every users picks these settings up everytime they login?

History list is different depending on how what is selected, today, yesterday, 7 days,etc...Why?

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1050593 /questions/1050593]''
Ok so I typed up a damn long detailed question then was asked to confirm my email and after my question was gone. Not cool.
In history I selected last month (February) and went to 3-2-15 to see what time my last history log was for this date. It was 2:40. I then wanted to look for another date and wanted to have more room for my mouse to page up on the scroll bar(click the empty space above the scroll bar) so I selected 7 days option. When I did this now my last entry on 3-2-15 is at 3:41. Why does this happen and how do I know my last entry really is at 3:41? Maybe another option will give me a different time.
Is there a more accurate history log add-on I can use?

Also Is there anything like an add-on that I can use to keep a correct complete history?

How do I view my google search history

Is there anyway to see my recent searches done from the search engine box? Sometimes during research I need to quickly go back to google search results using the exact keyword term that I used,but many of the search terms are difficult to remember,it would be easier to see the last 10 or 20 keyword searches.

This may only work if you are signed into a Google account but the link to view the stored Google history is
https://www.google.com/history/
It will also keep track of history from your smart phone.

How do I view pdf icons as images in Finder?

I hope I'm asking the right question, but when I'm trying to attach a photo to a email or upload to a web site I find that most of my images show up as pdf icons instead of image thumbnails in the search? Since I don't name all my photos, I really have no way of knowing what I'm attaching. Is there a setting that allows me to view them all as thumbnail images?

Choose as List from the Finder's view menu and option-click the triangle to the left of the folder.

How can I change the default "search criteria" in Finder?

I can't seem to find any way to change the default search criteria when I search for a file in Finder. I have to select "show search criteria" and deselect the criteria every time I search for a file.. annoying!

When I do that it just makes a Smart Folder search, which I can save and put on the side bar, then click on and use, but does not allow me to open Finder, type in the search field, and go. Any other ideas?

How do I recover a device deleted from the Finder sidebar?

I connected a Garmin Edge 800 GPS unit to my MacBook Pro to backup its files. I made a file on the computer named "Garmin" to copy the files into. In the sidebar, in Finder, two devices showed, one named "Garmin" and the other "No Name" which is the mini SD card for the Garmin unit. I thought I'd try dragging "Garmin" into the folder but when I dragged and dropped it went up in the cloud of smoke icon. The actual Garmin unit works fine but when it's plugged in the only thing showing in the sidebar is "No Name". If I eject "No Name" and disconnect I get the message that "Garmin" wasn't ejected properly, so I know it's being detected, I just don't see it in the sidebar any more. It wouldn't matter to me except I need to open the Garmin unit so I can copy the files.
I looked in "Trash" but nothing named "Garmin" exists there. I also tried restarting the computer and the Garmin before reconnecting but the only device showing in the sidebar is the "No Name" mini card. So, how do I get the unit to show up in the sidebar again?
Thanks in advance,
Doug

I got the answer from Reddit - Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Devices > External disks.

How do I remove a broken alias in my Finder Sidebar without Apple Developer Tools loaded?

OS 10.7.5
I have a broken/dead alias in my Finder Sidebar. It will not activate when the cursor is on it therefore I can't move or remove it from the Finder Sidebar. I found a previous solution that requires loading the Apple Developer Tools in order to acces and edit the list of alias. Is there any other method that can be used to remove a broken/dead alias available?
Thanks.
Charlie

Never mind!! Even though the alias would not highlight to show that it was active, I simply Command > drag and it disappeared.

Taxonomy & Search option set - unwanted results

Hi,
we have configured a search index on a repository :
/documents/Prikbord (this folder has subfolders) :
          /<user.id>/Images
          /<user.id>/Postings
In each 'postings' folder, an XML form item is created that has a property 'Notice Category' (the images have don't have this property!) to indicate whether the item is for our 'notice board' or our 'lost and found' corner. To visualize all postings by all users to the end users, we have created an index & a query based taxonomy :
Create index 'NoticeBoard'
     Name : Notice Board
     ID : NoticeBoard
     Service : search & classification
     Items to be indexed : documents
     Data sources : /root/documents/Prikbord
     Taxonomies : LostandFound -> automatic classification     -> query based
               Prikbord     -> automatic classification     -> query based
     Permissions : everyone (read)
     Permission Owners : administrators
Next, we created a search options set :
Search Option Set :
          ID : NoticeBoardSearch
          Description : Standard UI parameter configuration for Notice Board search
          Initial Display of search options : x
          Close options after search x
          Enable Search Options x
          Enable Further Search x
          Default Search Scope : Folder
          Search Index : NoticeBoard
          Root folders for search : /taxonomies/NoticeBoard
          Enable selection of search method x
          Default Search method : linquistic
          Enable result parameters : x
          Enable Cascading search : x
          Enable sorting of search results : x
          default sorting mode : descending
          default property for sorting : cm_rnd_rankvalue
          allowed sort properties : cm_contentlength, cm_displayname, cm_modified, cm_modifiedby, cm_rnd_rankvalue
          enable items selection : x
          default search language selection : ALL
          additional search properties: Cernum_Notice_Category
          enable predifined properties : x
          Allowed prededfined properties : Cernum_Notice_Category, cm_contentlength, cm_displayname, cm_modified, cm_modifiedby, cm_rnd_rankvalue
The system creates for our taxonomy following structure :
/Taxonomies/NoticeBoard
               /Prikbord
                    /Documents to classify (hidden)
                    /Never to classify (hidden)
                ... sorted postings are at this level
               /LostandFound
                    /Documents to classify (hidden)
                    /Never to classify (hidden)
                ... sorted postings are at this level
Question :
We configured a Search iview, using the search options set defined above. However, the images used in the XML forms appear in the search results as separate entries, although they don't have the 'Notice Category type property' assigned.
How can this be? The search options set has /taxonomies/NoticeBoard assigned as the path to start in, the 'documents to classify' and the 'never to classify' folder are invisible.

Hi,
check the images for their metadata.
Select them and view the details.
They might have the attributes to, which causes that htey will be sorted as well.
On the other side, I understand that your search option set is reffering to the index "NoticeBoard" which indexes the content in /root/documents/Prikbord.
This is not the taxonomy folder!
That might be the reason you get all the hits of a search, because they are in that folder of "/root/documents/Prikbord". And if the images are in that folder too, it would be clear why they show up!
regards,
Darijo
