No search feature for Dashboard widgets?

In Dashboard, when you click the Manage Widgets button at the bottom and then you click More Widgets in the Manage Widgets window, you are taken to Apples' official Dashboard Widgets web page at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard.
At the bottom of the page, it says there are "3901 Dashboard Widgets" available. But oddly, there seems to be no search feature for the widgets.
There's a Widget Browser where you can drill down by category, but sometimes it's just easier to search for what you want.
There's a search field at the very top of the page in the navigation bar (just as there's one for this page, but that searches the whole Apple site, not just the widgets.
Is there a way to do a text search for Dashboard widgets?

I took a look and agree that there doesn't seem to be a way so you aren't just blind...unless we both are
The only thing I noticed is since all the widgits seem to reside in the same directory you could do a google search a la
"widget I want site:http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/"
I suppose apple thinks most people don't commonly associate widgets by there actual name so categories are easier but it seems trivial just to throw in a search function with a nice little preview of each widget.
Maybe we just didn't look deep enough.

Searching For Dashboard Widgets

Hi,
How do you search for Dashboard Widgets on Apple's website? Since they changed the site this year, I've found it very hard to find widgets which I know for a fact are listed on the site. For example, if I type into the Search bar in the top-right corner "tomatometer", I get no results. The only way I can see of finding the Tomatometer widget on Apple.com is to manually browse through the Widget Browser.
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Easy enough to find. They are here.

New feature for autosuggest widget

Hi Spry developers!
I have implemented a new feature in autosuggest widget, and I
ask you if you can add this feature in Spry 1.6 release...
You can view my example here:
Multiple
Autosuggest Example
You can choose a splitting string that reinitialize the
autosuggest, so you can have multiple suggestion with one input
text field only...
Let me know what you think about this!
Thank a lot and best regards!

Hi shakexx,
Thanks for sharing your patch with us. I've opened a request
for integration in our bug base. Just to set expectations ... we're
winding down for Spry 1.6 so I wouldn't expect it to go in for the
up-coming release.

Are there any more advanced search features for "ctrl+f" (find in page)?

I'm very limited by the current test search features. And I'd like to see some advanced features like:
1) I HATE that the find bar disappears all the time. I would like it to be visible all the time -- not disappear when I change tabs, or open a new tab.
2) I HATE that the toolbar is on the bottom and not the top. All my work is done around the top of the window and when I need to enter a something in the find box I have to go to the bottom... very inefficient.
3) I would like to search for multiple words at the same time. Currently if there's multiple words that I'm searching for in multiple tabs, I have to type in each word individually for each tab. I'm in the process of searching for five word in 20+ tabs... you do the math. Even if I could enter: oneword OR twoword OR threeword OR fourword OR fiveword... this would be very helpful.
4) The nicest feature of all would be: the ability to highlight multiple links in a webpage and then get firefox-addon to search all the links for any of, and all of, the requested words (ie. oneword, twoword, threeword, etc) This would save me hours and hours of keying in words. AND please note: searching a specific site with google site does not work in most cases as it is not specific enough or Google is for some reason not able to search the site (the site must somehow be search while hidden from the user and then opened in a tab if there are any results -- and I would like the results highlighted).
I have been wanting this for years and am very surprised that nothing like this has been developed... maybe it's not possible to do? (But I doubt is, as I've see greasemonkey scripts that have done similar things...)

One of the problems with finding an addon like this is that I wasn't using the correct search term. I found that if I use "findbar", there are several results. Currently I'm trying out Findbar Tweak. It seems to have a few good options -- that are similar to my wishlist above. But right now I'm finding also that some of the options cause problems, some of which almost freeze Firefox... hopefully the developer will be able to improve a few of these things -- a new version hasn't been released for nearly a year. :(

Looking for Dashboard Widget -4- Yahoo Notepad

Hello all,
has anyone found a widget for Yahoo! notepad that is compatible w/ Dashboard? They have this widget available w/ Yahoo (Konfabulator) Widgets, but I'd prefer not having to install Konfabulator.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why dont you use apple's standard calculator? Just put calc into the spotlight and it will appear. If its just the standard claculator, go into "view" and you will have the option to use it scientifically. Just keep it in your dock. Good Luck.

Fonts for Dashboard widgets

Some of my widgets are displaying weird fonts and don't look right. I have not changed anything in my font folders or in Suitcase, my font manager, so I can't figure out which font seems to be acting up. All the usual default fonts, such as Helvetica, are active. How can I get the fonts to display correctly in Dashboard?

HI Terry,
Sometimes just restarting your Mac can help this. If not...
Delete this file. com.apple.dashboard.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

Search feature for joins in Discoverer Admin

Hi,
In Discoverer Administrator, how do I search for all the joins? Is there a SQL available to do this?
Thanks.

Are you refering to "cross business area" joins? If so, you can have the same folder in multiple business areas. And by granting access to one business area, you grant access to all the folders in there.
So, if you put the folder "suppliers" in both BA's (do so by choosing "manage folders" from the menu), you only have to grant access to the projects BA.
Regards,
Sabine

hello, this is caused by errors in the program code of this toolbar - you'd have to contact the vendor directly & ask them to sort it out, or just disable/uninstall it when you can live without it. (chrome in this case is refering to the user interface of the browser and has nothing to do with the browser by google with the same name)

Support boards for developing dashboard widgets? any response, please??

i don't mean to be a noodge, but 4 days ago i posted a simple request asking if i could get support here for some questions i had as regards some snags i ran into making dashboard widgets. while other people's questions about ruby/rails, c and objective c and even powerpoint (shouldn't that be in a microsquish support forum??) have been responded to.
all i want to know is, can anyone help me here or at least point me to other support boards that offer help for those developing dashboard widgets? is that too much to ask?
my original message i posted 4 days ago is below. i would appreciate response from anyone, please. i can't believe i'm the only person out here seeking support for my *.html, *.css and javascript files for dashboard widgets.
hi,
i'm trying my hand at the most rudimentary of developing for mac os x - developing a dashboard widget, using html, css & javascript.
i'm trying to make a simple widget that uses the real audio plug-in in the system (if you downloaded real player) to play a local portland, oregon fm classical radio station, kbps-fm 89.9 (www.allclassical.org).
i'm running into some snags both in making the "i" info button flip the thing around (it was working before, but since i added in the code that makes the real player plug in work, no matter where i place the position of the "i" flipper, it doesn't show up), and in the graphics i'm trying to create for the widget.
should i seek help here? are there better boards/forums for mac os x dashboard widget creation i can go to, and if so, can anyone direct me there? i know about adc, and am a (free) member, but they don't have discussion boards there and i don't want to pay oodles in tech support just to get some basic javascript and css questions handled.
if anyone could please direct me to where i can ask these questions or help me out, please let me know. thanx.

You shouldn't take the lack of response as a personal insult The nature of these forums (fora?) is that people respond to those messages where they can help and don't respond when they can't help. FWIW I've got two unresolved questions dating back to Mar 17th!
In my opinion, the Developer forums would be absolutely ideal and on-topic places to discuss Widget development..... but it looks like very few experienced Widget developers hang out here, so any questions would most likely go unanswered. My own skill area in limited to Java so I can't help out with widgets. No doubt the other forum regulars are in a similar position.

Search feature in flash

hi i need help with this please..... i wanted to add a search feature for a flash website....i am adding some data lists to the website and i wanted to have a search feature.....could you also please advise me if i should use xml for adding the lists or should i just add it in flash using the text tool. thanks a lot.

Hi Lana
I think before anything worthwhile can be offered, we need to define exactly what it is you are doing and where you are doing it.
Where specifically did you add the keyword?
In the Topic Properties on the General tab in the Keywords section?
In the Topic Properties on the Index tab?
In the Project Set-up pod in the External Content Search area? (RoboHelp 9)
In the Index designer pod?
Depending on your answer we can then move forward with sleuthing what may be happening.
Cheers... Rick

Using Search Feature

I have a brand new black Classic and used the Search feature for the first time to find a song/artist and ran into a problem that baffled me.
I was looking for "Rock the Boat" by "The Hues Corporation". I first searched for "HUES" and it returned nothing. Then I searched for "ROCK THE" and "Rock the Boat" came up in the results. Can someone explain why I was able to find the song title but not the artist?
Also, what prompted me to use Search in the first place was because I tried to find "The Hues Corporation" manually under "Artist" but could not find it. However, if I searched for the title under "Song", I found it successfully.
Is this a bug? Does this have anything to do with the Album it's in marked as a "Compilation" in ID3 tag?

Does this have anything to do with the Album it's in marked as a "Compilation" in ID3 tag?
Yes.
If you have imported any CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To change that info right click and select "get info". This brings up a song info window, and by selecting "options" you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.

Does pages have a search feature on documents

Does pages offer a search feature for documents. If I have a document and want to search for a specific word or phrase how can this be done?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try a Spotlight search?
If you've never used it, Spotlight is the 'sort of magnifying glass' icon at the upper right corner of the top menu bar.
Click on the Spotlight icon.
In the box that opens, type in your search term(s), a space, and .pages, and click on Show All
Spotlight will open a Finder window.
You can refine your search results including where to search This Mac or "Desktop" for example, and whether searching for Contents (words or strings embedded within documents) or Filename.
Now you can choose a document from the results displayed.
Clicking on a filename and pressing the space bar lets you view the document without actually opening the program that created it.
You can control what kinds of documents are/are not indexed by selecting  from the top menu bar, then System Preferences, Personal, Spotlight.
