Addiing fixed filters to Advanced Search

We have a set of libraries with custom columns in each. These are resulting from importing metadata from a legacy document management system. What I need to be able to do is to set up a way of searching each of these libraries and associated metadata in
isolation from each other.
I have created a page for each library using the advanced search web part and tried to customise it. I can add the metadata search fields sucessfully and use them to narrow down the search but the results page returns results from the whole subsite. I have
had limited sucess using an additional column for each library that has a unique name and I can use the drop down to search that but I would like to be able to force that in the search.
I can do it with the simple search (setting additional query terms) but then I don't get the option to add the restrictions for the other columns. I thought I could edit the keywordQuery field to add in something like
metaterm:"ABC"
This works if I add it to a result type that already specifies a document type but not for the generic "All Results". What have I missed.
The result type that works only works if I use the OR operator and not the AND operator, I would have expected the AND to give me what I want and the OR to give me lots more results.
Hope someone can help
Thanks

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to search from each library.
My suggestion is that you can create search scope for every library and use the scope in the Advanced search web part.
1. Create search scope for every library, and when you create, you should choose the advanced search, only you choose the advanced search, the search scope will display in the advanced search web part.
2. Edit the advanced search web part, choose the show the scope picker, you can see the search scope in the advanced search web part.

Lookup in advanced search

Hi
I'm trying to modify the Asset Advanced Search Options in the main window of the FCSvr client. I want to use lookups (aka pop-up or drop-down) as part of the search alternative. Let's say I want the user to be able to search for HD video clips. For this I want a lookup field named "Resolution" that has three alternative, All, HD and SD.
But when I try to create this field I get a search fields with one lookup with the altenative All, Equals and Not Equals, and next to this I get another lookup with the alternative None, HD and SD. What I want is only one lookup in this search field, with the alternative All, HD and SD. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how do I achieve this?
Christer

Thanks for your reply. I suspected that this was the case.
The strange thing though, is that among the default advanced search options there's a field, Metadata Filtering, that actually has this layout. In this field there is only one lookup. The default is "Do not include log & capture metadata", and then there is two more, "Include log & capture metadata" and "Only include log & capture metadata". Also, strangely, if I open "Filter Mode", that is the lookup for Metadata Filtering, the alternative "Do not include log & capture metadata" isn't even there.
Anyway, I was hoping for a layout for filtering in Advanced Search as e.g. http://www.beyondtheline.org/Video/ but I guess I have to rethink.

Tags, Keywords - tagging and filtering/searching photos - an other `advanced search`

Hello,
I'd like to know, who of you would like new functionality on handling tags for filtering/searching photos (as a replacement of the `advanced search`)
(I noted it in German - sorry, I'm not used to write in English...)
The goal is, to use the same Tag-structure to tag photos and also to filter them (most likely as you could do that with PSE 9 ) .
I don't want this `advanced search` window, that takes a lot of space - I want to see my photos, not a hug program border... ;-) )
What's your opinion?
Regards
Thomas

Helllo Robert,
Thank you for your answer... ;-) - at least I'm not alone... ;-))
Well, if you only want to not to show up the `waste of space` - you can click on the ^ symbol most right in the top of the search area (next to the X symbol).
You can also put away tags from the filter by double klicking on them in the bar on the top of photos.
But you
- can not mix up AND/OR and NOT selections.
- can not enlarge the advanced search space to the whole screen - so, with many tags the selection of a specific tag is annoying
(since there are no optical differences like color and symbols as it does in the tags-tree)
How can we report that to adobe so they will enhance their product for us... ;-))
Regard
Thomas

Help required to customize Simple/Advanced Search. Need to add new fields

Hello,
Module: Oracle Sales Online
EBS version: 12.1.3
Jdev version: 10.1.3.3
Scenario:
- We are dealing with standard oracle pages.
- We have TWO "SIMPLE/ADVANCED SEARCH"s available. Each "Simple/Advanced Search" can be found by navigating through paths "A --> B" and "A --> B --> C --> D" . Here it means one "SIMPLE/ADVANCED SEARCH" page is available at page "B" and another "SIMPLE/ADVANCED SEARCH" is available at page "D".
- In the first search page which is at page "B", both Simple as well as Advanced search has a filter field "Win Probability %", of type VARCHAR2/DROPDOWN with values (10, >=10, <=30, 30, >=30, <=50, 50, >=50, <=70, 70, >=70, <=90, 90, 100)
- In second search page, referring to page "D", the Simple search DOESN'T have the "Win Probability %". And the Advanced Search page has the "Win Probability %" but it is of type - NUMBER/MessageTextInput type.
Issue/Requirement:
- The 2nd Simple/Advanced search pages need to have "WIN PROBABILITY %" field and it should be of VARCHAR2/DROPDOWN with values (10, >=10, <=30, 30, >=30, <=50, 50, >=50, <=70, 70, >=70, <=90, 90, 100) just like the way we had in 1st Simple/Advanced search.
Note:
- Again speaking we are dealing with standard oracle pages
- If you go to the "About this Page", interestingly I found:
i. The "message component layout" for both of them is from the same region , i.e., ASNOpptympSrchRN
ii. Rest of the search filters for both the searchs are from common View Object , i.e., OpptySearchVO1 (for Simple search), OpportunityDetailsVO1 (for advanced search)
iii. The "Stack layout" for both the search pages are same, i.e. XXMASOpptyQryCO
iv. None of the fields are rendered to false (everything is set to be rendered TRUE)
Any response is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anand
Edited by: 933590 on Jul 19, 2012 8:18 AM

"XXMASOpptyQryCO is the name of stacklayout or CO?
What is the CO?
Does both pages share same CO?
have you already extended the CO "XXMASOpptyQryCO"?
what is the original CO then? I think in that CO it must be written somewhere, simple search "search allowed = false""
-Here CO what you are referring is a controller.
-FYI pages share same controller.
-And the original controller for both the pages are OpptyUwqCO. Right now its extended controller is XXMASOpptyQryCO
Fact is I didn't create this search page. It was built by some third party members. Also that I do not have the original source nor the documentation pertaining to it. So could you inform as in how should I navigate to the point "Search Allowed = True"
I should have informed that at "B" page, it has a region /oracle/apps/asn/opportunity/webui/ASNMgrOpptyQryRN and at page "D", the region is /oracle/apps/asn/opportunity/webui/ASNOpptyQryRN

Advance Search not working in Document Management Task Flow

Hi,
We are using Document management task flow to manage UCM content. The simple search works for us but the Advance search does not work. Does anyone know of any possible reason why this could happen. Any hint would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Salim

Hi Srinath,
Thanks for replying.
So in my scenario when I try to search the content using the simple search which is present at the right hand top corner I get the search result properly. But when I try to search by clicking on the Advance link which gives me a option to search by Filename, Keywords and adding other filters, it always returns zero search results.
Thanks

Customization in Advanced Search Area.

Hi All,
There is a requirement in advanced search area of return orders.
Based on the transaction type selected, corresponding status values has to be populated.
Here im populating the transactio type values in the drop down list box and status value i have to populate in the value help/ drop down/ F4 application, but these status values should be populated based on the transaction type we have selected.
We are working on CRM 5.0 version, and i have done few things,here im listing out the steps.
1) For the Transaction type field i have enable the Roundtrip CS search option.
2) I have created a new ABAP structure for the transaction field(ZCS_Trans_Search).
3) I have appened this abap structure to the calling F4 application (Status F4 appln)
4) implementing the IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2FILL_F4_STRUCTURE and IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2CHECK ACTIVE_SHUFFLER methods, but still im not able to enter in to this methods in the debug mode.
These steps i have done with the ref to PCUI COOK BOOK 5.0 version, here im copying the steps given in PCUI 5.0
5.1.3.7 Context sensitive value help
The current complex value help is not fully context sensitive. It does not consider the information
the user has already entered on the screen, If it is present in different screen position or in different
line of a list than the field on which F4 is pressed. Thus, the value help often displays result set
which are not related in the current context. To make value help context sensitive following points
must be improved.
The complex value help must consider the entries of relevant fields on the calling
applications screen as search criteria.
The value help application should be enabled to set the value in the Search-Shuffler
depending on the current context.
The application should be enabled to dynamically disable the availability of the value help
icon for a field.
To implement this feature for any field in the field group following steps to be performed:
1. New field group customizing flag is added the by checking this enables context sensitive
search for a input field. Field group customizing is called Roundtrip CS Search.
<Include the figure>
2. Determine the fields to be transferred to the value help application from calling application
and create ABAP structure from this fields.This structure is called Context sensitive
screenstructure (CS structure). Assign this CS structure to the complex value help
application which is associated with the input field. This is done in:
Transaction crmc_blueprint
Open the node Application/Layout node
Edit the value help application
Enter the name of the structure in the filed Struct. For Context-Sensitive srch. Help
(F4_CS_STRUCTURE)
3. PC-UI FW takes the CS structure data from the calling application and defaults them in the
value help applications advance search screen structure. Include this CS structure to the
advanced screen structure of value help application to have the same fields of CS structure
and add the corresponding fields for the CS structure to field group of advance search.
4. Implement IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2~FILL_F4_STRUCTURE in the calling
applications Model Access Class. In this method you fill the value in CS structure which will
be passed to the value help application.
IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2~FILL_F4_STRUCTURE
5. Implement / or enhance if already implemented
IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2~CHECK_ACTIVE_SHUFFLER in value help
applications MAC. This step is optional, With this you will be able to select the correct
shuffler based on the context sensitive data passed with new import parameters values to
this method.
IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL_2~ CHECK_ACTIVE_SHUFFLER.
Please do suggest me.. what are the things further i need to do..
REMEMBER: I have to do this implementation in the advance Search area.
Regards.
Anilkumar.

Hi,
As I understand, you would like to have more than 5 property filter in Advanced Search web part.
According to this article, it is one of the limitation in OOTB Advanced Search web part: "The property search doesn’t allow the users to specify more than 5 property filters." As workaround, "Reuse the OOTB Advanced Search UI’s hidden controls
that determines the search attributes (ASB_PS_…)". Please refer more information via:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/senthilkumarmani/archive/2010/06/05/custom-advanced-search-metadata-values-pre-populated-for-user-selection.aspx
Also, I find two articles about customizing the advanced search Webpart adding custom properties in case you need:

Adobe Reader: Missing Advanced Search Options

I am using Adobe Reader XI (probably Standard) and trying to perform regular expression searches. When I go to Advanced Search (Ctrl-Shift-F) and click "Show More Options" I would expect to see the following options in the "Return results containing:" drop-down list:
Match Exact Word or Phrase
Match Any of the Words
Match All of the Words
Boolean Query
The only two that appear are "Match Exact Word or Phrase" and "Match Any of the Words." The remaining two are not in the list. Without "Boolean Query" I cannot perform regular expression searches which is very helpful in filtering irrelevant results, especially in documents thousands of pages long.
Where are the other options?

Well, thanks.
Thought I had tried that, but went back and found it. So, Adobe assumes the only time I want/can/should perform a regular expression search is only when searching through and entire directory, and that there's no reason I should expect to do the same within a current document.
IMHO, that is utterly ridiculous.

Unable to turn on Advanced Search for viewing PDFs (v9.1) through IE7

Our company is currently using Acrobat 9.1 and Internet Explorer 7.
We have multiple PDF document sets set up to be searched using index files. The Index feature can only be accessed using the Advanced Search option of Acrobat Reader or Pro 9.1.
When we access the documents via our internal network, the advanced searching works fine. We can easily set the user's Acrobat Reader (or Writer) to have the Advanced Search option enabled.
However, if our users try to access these documents via our company's intranet web pages, the Acrobat Reader Interface plug-in (acropdf.dll?) of IE7 is fixed to only use the Basic Search option. Users are only able to search the active PDF. I have not found a way to enable the the Advanced Search option using the Adobe / IE7 interface.
Not that long ago, we thought this option was available.
Is there a way to turn this feature on or at least allow it to be enabled?
Thanks Much!

Hello,
This may be of interest to anyone whose had the Advanced Search Problem (or the mis-linking problem mentioned below) using the current Acrobat Plugin to IE7.
I think I have found a workaround for this problem (and another we've found). I've been having users test this out over the past couple of weeks and it's working fine.
Problem #1
Being unable to use index searching across multiple documents with the Acrobat Reader 9.1 plug-in interface running from within Internet Explorer version 7.0.    This current plug-in interface disallows setting up the Advanced Index Search feature that groups within our company use.
Problem #2
Links in PDF A are not properly linking to desired pages (link targets) in PDF B. Any links in PDF A will only take the user to Page 1 of PDF B. This occurs when any PDF links to a certain page (other than page 1) in another targeted PDF.
Solution:
Set the user's (many users in my case) Acrobat Reader (or Pro) to only open web based PDFs into the stand-alone Acrobat interface using the Accessibility Setup Assistant.
In Adobe Reader:
     Go to Document | Accessibility Setup Assistant.
     Advance through the dialogs to Screen 5 of 5.
     Turn OFF the feature Display PDF documents in web browser.
     Select Done.
     Exit Adobe reader.
In Adobe Acrobat Pro:
     Go to Advanced | Accessibility | Setup Assistant ...
     Advance through the dialogs to Screen 5 of 5.
     Turn OFF the feature Display PDF documents in web browser.
     Select Done.
Result:
Any PDFs embedded in a web page (environment) will open up in a new session of Acrobat (Reader or Pro) on the users desktop.
Searching via indexes works great and there are no linking problems between PDFs.
It may not be an optimal solution, but is working fine for our folks that access our files via our company's intranet.
The only drawback I see is that you lose focus of the IE7 session and have to work outside of it's containment. Although it is easy to set it back to the way it worked previously.
If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me know. I'm open to any improvements we can make to our process.
Thanks!

KM folders as drop-down on advanced search

HI All,
When user hits the advanced search option, there is option of restricting search to folders and sub-folders.
This is available in the folder structure. How can this be made to appear on a drop-down option. The user wants to have it in the same way as the sdn search options wherein the search can be restricted based on the dropdown of category/folders.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
This is what SDN Advanced Search provides.
Next to the Search term, it provides the option to select an index as a Dropdown choice. Below the search bar, it gives an option to filter the search result through a set of defined filter values like Product etc. This means that the content has been Meta Data tagged for the values represented by the check boxes.
If you select a checkbox, then the result set displayed to you will be filtered according to that.
What you basically need to do, is to define multiple indexes according to your needs and then define meta data properties which are assigned to each document / folder. This way you can achieve what you need.
I hope this helps, if it does, then please award points in SDN.
cheers,
Shantanu

Advanced Search-Clearing search criteria

Hi,
I am developing apps using JDev 10.1.2. and JHS build 32.
My problem is with using the Advanced Search on page with table layout.
The Advanced Search contains one lookup field (a lamp).
When I enter something in the lamp field and press Find button I get proper result.
Then I run Clear. All field from Advanced Search region are cleared.
Then I run Find and I get question similar to "You are about to leave page without commiting changes...". I choose OK and the lamp field get the old value and the result is incorrect.
What is wrong?
regards,
Cezary

Cezary,
This is indeed a bug in JHeadstart, thanks for pointing this out. The fix will be present in the next release, but for now you and anyone running into it will have to apply a workaround: in the UIX page, locate the "FindXXX" field that has this problem. It will be easy to find because its name is suffixed with "_No_Update". This is incorrect (for the find field, it is OK for the actual form and/or table field!!). Remove the suffix NoUpdate and all should be well again.
Hope this helps,
Peter Ebell

Adobe Advanced Search Function not woking

The Advanced Search Function has stopped working. I use mac os x 10.6.8. I deleted and reinstalled adobe reader 10.1.2 and still the same problem: nothing appears when I click on the Advanced Search function. I'd welcome suggestions on how to fix this. Thank you.

Did you try the shortcut for Advanced search - option + shift +F. Do you not get the search window even then ?

How does 'Does not contains' work in advanced search?

I'm deploying a application based on JHeadsart and i am very enthusiastic about it! Thanks for the good work. I have a question about the 'Does not contains' search option in the advanced search/set by user mode.
It looks i have to use wildcards which is not necessary with the contains option.
Example:
In the JHeadstart demo tutorial.
I search on the lastname of employees with 'does not contain'.
If i use does not contain 'A' i get 107 records
If i use does not contain '%a%' i get 51 records
If i do not enter any criteria i get 107 records.
Is this the intended behavior?
Thanks,
Ruben Spekle

Ruben,
This is not intended behavior, you have found a bug!
It turns out that we do set the wildcard usage in case of "does not contain", but we only interpret this wildcard usage if the operator is "like" (and we should also do this when the operator is "not like").
We will fix it in the upcoming release. If you want to fix it before that, you should make a subclass of JhsApplicationModuleImpl and use that as the superclass of your application modules. In your Impl class, override advancedSearch(String, ArrayList, Boolean), and use instead of QueryAttribute your own subclass of QueryAttribute. In your subclass of QueryAttribute override getQueryValue to also apply the wildcardUsage when the operator is NOT LIKE.
Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention!
kind regards,

Not render any field search criteria initially in Advanced Search Panel

Hi Everyone!
It's possible to hide or remove all field search criterias initially in Advanced search panel. We need that initially doesn't exist any field search and the user use the 'Add another' option when him need add search criterias.
Thanks,
Carlos C.

Your solution to the indexing issue with the LIKE operator is taking a small issue and making a big issue out of it.
Why not just fix the initial problem with basic tuning techniques ... for example a hint would force index usage.
So might having accurate statistics. So might tuning one or more optimizer parameters a small amount.
You have chosen the wrong solution for a very small problem thus you are where you are.
