Username search doesn't work properly if there are spaces in the username

I was experimenting with the watch user widget and you have to select a user from a list of users based on a search.
The problem is that spaces are not respected in the search so that you can't easily set up a watch on a user name with spaces.
Two examples that I tried were b noir and katrina s.

I actually just set up my watch user for you, p, saw your post title and wondered if you were looking for me. I have the same sort of trouble.
My workaround for this (and also constraining discussions search on my posts) is to not refer to the drop down list. Instead, I click the wee blue "Select People" link next to the field. In the Username Lookup thingy that comes up, I type b noir into the Username field, and then click Lookup. That'll bring me up.
I agree it's not easy. Took me quite a while to work out the procedure.

  • SetMaxInactiveInterval() doesn't work fine when there are a few sessions

    I'm using setMaxInactiveInterval() to set different values for sessions in
              program. When I test it, it works fine if there are only one or two
              sessions. But if there are more sessions, say nearly 10, they will be
              expired randomly such as at around 2 minutes when set to 3
              minutes(setMaxInactiveInterval(180)). BTW, my server is WLS6.1
              Any suggestion? Thanks a lot.
              Hattie
              

    Why not keep things simple and create a shortcut on the user's machine that uses this target command:
    \\SRV2\d$\dir1\subdir1\subdir2
    Simply because dir and subdirs are no constants.
    Just imagin you have a webpage that looks like this :
    Proj. #   Custommer    directory                                                bunch-of-other-stuff
    4538      Microsoft        \\SRV2\Big_contracts\US\2014\software   etc
    4539      Nokia             \\SRV3\Prototypes\EU\2012\hardware      etc
    4540      So-else          \\SRV3\Big_contracts\EU\2013\software    etc
    Instead of the full path you have a small folder icon (to save space). And clicking on this icon will bring you directly to said path.
    It was extremely convenient, very user-friendly. And it has been working for over a decade, and today my users are frowning...
    I think you are pushing psexec.exe beyond its limits.
    No, it's working perfectly on Win XP. I just find it too sad that it no longer works on Win 7. I view this as a regression.
     When you run it the way you do it you actually do open a further Explorer process but it remains invisible to you because it runs in the background.
    No, the user does get a new explorer windows that pops to the foreground. The
    only trouble is that it opens in "My Documents".
    Of course I could (try and...) teach them to right-click, copy the link, paste it in an explorer and so on, but they are going to hate me.
    Thank you

  • Search doesn't work properly in iOS SMS app

    For many many years I've used search in the SMS app to find the name of someone I want to text. So I'll type "Jon" in the search area expecting it to pull up all of the my conversations with people named "Jon" in descending order by date.
    This has ALWAYS worked before. Since I switched to iPhone 6 it's stopped working about 50% of the time. It' INFURIATING.
    At first, I thought the problem was that I hadn't texted these people on the new phone and somehow that mattered. But it doesn't.
    I've tried everything.
    I'm 99.99% sure this is a glitch in the software.
    Can someone offer an explanation/solution???

    There is no such thing as private API's working "properly" or not. You cannot use private APIs because it is highly likely they will change. That is the reason they are private.

  • Forum search doesn't work properly

    try this:
    in the JDeveloper forum search on JBO-25046. you will NOT find any hits. Same if you just search on 25046.
    Search on jbo-25046 and you will find thousands of hits referencing jbo without a number.
    search on RowNotAvailableException (the actual exception which accompanies JBO-25046) and you will find many posts with JBO-25046 in the subject of the post as well as the body.
    when i first started using the forums i found them almost completely useless because it would return any page with any of my search words in it, not even give me the results with most of my search words in first.
    once i dug around for a bit, i found that you could do boolean searches using AND in caps. this seemed to to work ok aside from the fact that the search also seems to search for and hilite the word AND throughout the search results.
    please put some intellegence into your forum search engine so that forum users can actually find things and benefit from the huge amount of knowelege available there.

  • ITunes library SEARCH doesn't work properly

    Very recently, a  search for a particular artist starting yielding songs by that artist but also many other artists. Some might think I shouldn't be disturbed by this, but the search function was perfect until now. There were no unwanted selections. What is wrong? How can I get iTunes to function as perfectly as it has for many years?

    I now know what is causing the problem, at least for the singer in question, but I don't know how to overcome it. I now know that the problem started when I downloaded an MP3 album from Amazon. This album contains 25 songs sung by 25 singers, INCLUDING Annette Hanshaw,THE SINGER I'M INTERESTED IN AT THE MOMENT. So, when I do an iTunes' search for Annette Hanshaw, I get her, but I also get all the other singers on this album. This puzzles me. I've downloaded many entire albums, but I've never run into the unwanted linkages before. In other words, I want to keep all of the songs in the album I just downloded, but I only want Annette Hanshaw when I put her name in the SEARCH bar. Is there a way to do this?
    Are all the songs in all Amazon MP3 albums linked together in this way?

  • Sign-in doesn't work properly; need to sign in all the time between windows although signed in for 2 weeks.

    popup appears out of nowhere reading "We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page" Leads you to sign in again.
    This is not a problem with the old Flock, Chrome, or IE, just Firefox.
    It appears that anytime one leaves mail or personal home page and goes to a website, a sign-in is required to get back to mail or personal homepage.
    I have run out of ideas using tools-options, etc. setups.
    I am addressing Firefox 4.0.1, and Windows XP
    Clarence

    Cleared everything, several time over several days, no change.
    Still have not diagnosed the problem and I have made a lot of changes, including re-loading M.FireFox 4.0.1 with ATT Yahoo vers. 1.8
    It sometimes appears that the sign-in times out, although I tried signing in for 2 weeks and also 1 day. ATT Yahoo has a sign-in seal one can setup and use. It is fine and works only that one day or until one signs out, than it is history.

  • My Admin Console doesn't work properly

    I'm J2e novice. I've just installed J2EE bundle and noticed that something is wrong:
    1) Whenever I start Admin Console for domain1 (default settings) it looks and works worse than Samples Server Admin Console. Compare the screenshots on http://astro.ia.uz.zgora.pl/~nirgal/problem/sas.htm
    2) I can't undeploy any web application (the undeploy button inactive -> see screenshots) using the Admin Console whereas undeploying on Samples Server works properly.
    3) In general there is many error messages at the bottom edge of Admine Console window during any session.
    Greetings
    Maciej

    There are "Error on page" errors only (displayed on the bottom info bar in the window).
    These are warnings I found in the server.log:
    1) Spaces in your PATH have been detected. The PATH must be consistently formated (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin; ) or the Appserver may not be able to start and/or stop. Mixed quoted spaces in your PATH can cause problems, so the launcher will remove all double quotes before invoking the process. The most reliable solution would be to remove all spaces from your path before starting the Appservers components.
    (I found no spaces in my PATH )
    2) default-locale attribute of locale-charset-info element has been deprecated and is being ignored. Use default-charset attribute of parameter-encoding element instead
    3) C:\Sun\AppServer\lib\install\applications\admingui\adminGUI_war\index_pl.html File Not Found
    (I found index.html in this directory. When I checked the file name to index_pl.html it didn't help.)
    Hello2 works properly, and there are no hello2 related errors. But I still can't undeploy it using Admin Console due to inactive 'Undeploy' button (I marked the hello2 checkbox).

  • Non-root user cannot umount a SAMBA share if there is "SPACE" with the

    I already post this to the bugs report http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9672, but I would like to see if someone in the forum can help.
    Description:
    If there are "SPACE" in the SAMBA share name. Then, a non-root user can mount that share, but cannot umount it with "umount" command. It gives "mount desagrees with the fstab" error. root can mount/umount without any problem.
    Also, user can umount the share by "smbumount" without any problem.
    Additional info:
    * package version(s)
    samba 3.0.28A-1
    util-linux-ng 2.13.0.1-2
    * config and/or log files etc.
    /etc/fstab
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Add a line in /etc/fstab as the following
    //QNAP-500GB/USB\040Disk\0401 /mnt/eBooks smbfs workgroup=GROUPNAME,username=xxxxxx,ip=xxxxxxxx,password=xxxxxx,noauto,noatime,users,rw 0 0
    as you can see that SAMBA share name "USB Disk 1" was replace by "USB\040Disk\0401".
    2. Change UID of/usr/bin/smbmnt and /usr/bin/smbumount by
    chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt
    chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbumount
    3. Change the ownership of the mount path for this SAMBA share to a non-root user by
    chown username:users /mnt/eBooks
    4. mount as a non-root user (username)
    mount /mnt/eBooks
    5. ERROR! if umount as a non-root user; NO ERROR if umount as root.
    [ning@HP-m8100y ~]$ umount /mnt/eBooks/
    umount: /mnt/eBooks mount disagrees with the fstab
    6. This SAMBA share can be umounted by
    smbumount /mnt/eBooks

    Did you try using %20 instead of a space?  I know it works for URLs...worth a shot.

    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..

    Hi,
    What’s Exchange Version? Sometimes, after Installing Exchange 2010 SP 1, Searching via OWA or Outlook Online Mode may Fail. If so, please try the following solution:
    Download the script
    Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 from the Script Center.
    Copy the Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 script to the Scripts directory on the Mailbox server (default installation is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14\Scripts).
    On the afflicted Mailbox server, open the Exchange Management Shell by right-clicking the shortcut and selecting “Run as Administrator”.
    Within the Exchange Management Shell, navigate to the Exchange Scripts directory.
    Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script: .\Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1
    Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script (without the symbols [] and substitute the database name(s) for any databases you wish to reset: .\ResetSearchIndex.ps1 [-force] <dbname> [<dbname>]...
    You will receive an Event ID 109 when the rebuilding of the index starts for each database and an Event ID 110 for each database when the index rebuild has completed.
    After receiving Event ID 110 for each database, test to make sure search functions correctly with both OWA and Outlook operating in Online Mode.
