Advanced search has it fields cleared upon searching

Using the advanced.aspx the entered values are all cleared upon searching.
Im lead to beleve that this is by design behaviour and that populating the search-fileds in the resultpage is for everyone to solve themseleves.
Could this be true?

I've since learned that default behaviour is the strange
1. return to simple search
2. And fill the search field with the parameters.
3. Let the user click the "advanced search" link to get to advanced search again with the filled values posted and build the form again

  • Search parameters are getting cleared after search result

    Hi ,
    We have created z component with search and search result view based on only value nodes.
    we are able to get search result with the give search criteria. After getting result   search parameters are getting refreshed.
    how to keep those values in search parameters.   which method i need to redefine..... what will be the part of code.
    Please suggest .
    thanks
    ram

    Hi,
    You have to set the search field values after the result obtained. I believe you can find this in any of the standard advanced search components - BT111S_OPPT etc. for reference.

  • Why has the dropdown list of search engines changed from a straightforward list to a field of indistinguishable icons?

    Until the most recent update the dropdown listing of available sites in the search box was easily legible and simple to use. Being able to target one's searches so readily and conveniently was one of Firefox's most attractive features.
    Now I'm confronted with a panel of mostly indecipherable and in many cases confusingly similar icons. I hate it and want my simple verbal listing back!
    Yes, mousing over the icons and hovering will reveal what they represent. But having to do this every time makes what was a quick, convenient routine irritatingly slow and clunky.
    Please at least let us choose whether to have icons or a simple listing. Please...

    Further to my initial query, I notice that the previous facility to click 'Manage Search Engines...', thus allowing you to rearrange or add to/subtract from available searches (all within the dropdown from the search box), has gone.
    Clicking 'Change Search Settings' now opens up a new tab in the main preferences panel -- and as far as I can see doesn't even allow reordering or permanent deletion of search items.
    Whoever thought this would be an improvement? It isn't!!!

  • How do I search all Contacts fields in the Q5 with OS10.2?

    Blackberry appear to be advancing backwards with their new Q5 and 10.2 operating system. I originally bought the Blackberry specifically for its ability to search into the notes field of email contacts, which no other phone could do at the time. When the operating system was "upgraded" to OS7 I was disappointed to find out that the Blackberry Search was no longer able to access the Contacts Notes field. But then I discovered the "OldSearch" app. This app replicated the old search functionality and I have been using it on my 9790 quite happily for the past two years. However, when the time came to renew my contract this year I made the BIG MISTAKE of assuming that the Q5 with its OS 10.2 would be a big step forward. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Once again the Blackberry search function could not search the notes field of Contacts but, worst of all, OldSearch cannot run on OS 10.2. After four days trying to persevere with the new menu format and combined with the search problem I decided to give up and hand the Q5 back. I have subsequently found out that most cell phones now have the facility to search into the Contacts notes, including the Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone. So, reluctantly, I say bye-bye Blackberry, hello Samsung S4.

    So, you're not really asking how to search contacts notes on the device. You just came to tell us you switched to to the S4.
    Good luck!

  • Input Search criteria gets cleared on searching in Search Region

    In a pageA I have a search region, this search region has
    2 date fields.
    I have a return link on pageA that directs to pageB. Another button on pageB directs to pageA. For every page redirection, we have retainAM='Y', due to this the search criterial in pageA still remains if we do a navigation like pageA->pageB->pageA
    to clear the search criteria for every page reload of pageA, I am setting the value of
    datefield to null in the processrequest() of pageA.
    Now the wierd thing that is happening is though the search results are appearing fine,
    the data entered in date fields is getting disappeared on doing a search.
    in processformrequest, when I do a pagecontext.getparameter(datefieldID) this returns a value but
    doing a webBean.findindexchildrecursive(dateBean).getValue returns null.
    any idea what the issue could be.
    Thanks,
    Kalyan.

    Is it a query region or a custom search region? What is the code written to null the date fields?
    Is there any flow where the values are retained?

  • Unable to clear Google search history in Safari

    I am unable to clear old searches in Safari.  None of the following has any effect: using the clear recent searches button, totally resetting Safari, deleting all history and cache and trying to delete each individual search item manually, or by changing default search method.  These are old items, not recent searches, but they continue to show up in the recent search area.  It appears to be a bug.  Any ideas how to REALLY clear out the search cache?
    THANKS

    Seem to have finally fixed it by deleting the safari plist entry.

  • How can I reliably search the "Notes" field in iOS?

    I know this isn't strictly an Applescript question, but I've found that the level of knowledge in this particular section of the boards is WAAAAAYYY higher than other sections, so I'm gonna ask this here anyway. FWIW, it does involve AppleScript....
    So I really miss the Palm style contact search by first initial and last name. So I wrote an applescript that runs nightly on my iMac and updates any new contacts to include this search term in the notes field. Actually, to be completely honest, some members of this forum wrote most of the script for me.... Anyway, for instance, Joe Smith has "JSmith" placed into the notes field.
    Now, usually when I search my contacts like this on my iphone it works like a dream. But sometimes the expected contact does not appear. In those cases, if I open the contact a different way (by searching for "Joe Smith," for instance, I find the contact, open it up, and always find that "JSmith" is actually in the notes field. My Applescript is working like clockwork... that's not the problem. Once I close the Joe Smith contact and retry the "JSmith" search, it now works. What gives?
    It's kinda like Spotlight is using a search index for the notes field but not the name itself? And the search index is not getting updated until I manually open the contact? But only on some contacte? Usually it updates itself just fine without my having to open the contact? And then today it failed to find a contact that has had the Palm-seach term in the notes field for at least three weeks. Once I opened it manually, though, it worked.
    So... help! Is there a way to force the iphone to manually rebuild whatever database spotlight is using to search the notes field? What's going on?

    I've turned on BOLD TEXT and turned on REDUCE MOTION but for me it feels like more than just the zooms in and out... I'm getting sick just reading emails and texts or just glancing at the lock screen. It's intant nausea. The only thing I can think of is that it's something to do with refresh rate or frequency of the screen.
    I thought I'd just get used to it but it has not subsided. I only hope I don't have to resort to backgrading to iOS 6 or worse, moving to a different brand of phone.

  • Change the Order of Fields in the Search Lookup Form

    Hi guys,
    The end user has requested me to change the order of the fields in the Search Lookup Form. I haven't found any configuration to change this order, so I changed the JSP (tjspLookupFormTiles.jsp) as below:
    <bean:define id="colIDsObj" name="lookupFieldForm" property="columnIDs"/>
    <%
    //Sort Column IDs
    String[] colIDs = (String[]) pageContext.getAttribute("colIDsObj");
    colIDs[0] = "Lookup Definition.Lookup Code Information.Decode";
    colIDs[1] = "Lookup Definition.Lookup Code Information.Code Key";
    %>
    Is there any property where I can change this order without change the JSP File?
    Thanks,
    Renato.

    I had a similar requirement in the past, but could not find any other way for doing this. It does not reverse the order even for lookup fields on USR forms, for which the encode and decode values are defined in formmetadata.xml. Changing jsp seems to be the only way, unless someone else knows better.

  • Adding a new field to the search help exit

    Hi friends,
    adding a new field to the search help exit. How does it work ?
    Thanks in advace
    Ilhan

    The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
    parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
    help exit.
    This  would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
    data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
    Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
    Example:
    To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
    help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
    Loop at record_tab.
         read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                       with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                                fieldname = 'PERNR'.
    You could then use this information in the following way, for
    example, to find a persons organisation unit:
          select  orgeh endda
            up to 1 rows
            from pa0001
            into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
           where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                      u201Cpernr length is 8
           order by endda descending.
          endselect.
          select single orgtx
            from t527x
            into ld_orgtxt
           where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
                 sprsl eq sy-langu and
               ( endda ge sy-datum and
                 begda le sy-datum ).
    If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
    the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
    the record_tab string:
      concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
      modify record_tab.
    endloop.

  • Search help for field in SM30

    Hi Experts,
    This is a Z table with first field as GROUP and second field as KEY.
    User can select values for first field using a search help. It has three possibel entries
    1. Purchasing Org
    2. Region
    3. Coutnry
    In second field the user has to enetr value based on selection in first field, for eg. if 1 is chosen in 1st field user will enter name of a purchasing organisation.
    Can we dispay a search help for second field based on the selection in first field?
    Like if 1 is selected in 1st field second field should display search help for Purchasing Org
    if 2 is selected in 1st field second field should display search help for Region....in SM30?
    How can we achieve this?
    Thank you,
    Anubhav

    Hi Anubhav,
    1.Go to the table maintenance generator screen from SE11 (Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator).
    2. In the Table maintenance generator screen , navigate to Environment -> Modifications -> Maintenance Screens
    3. Select and Edit the screen where you need this new search help
    4. Create a Process on Value Request module for your second field at the end of the screen flow logic after MODULE LISTE_AFTER_LOOP.
    5. In the POV module, use funcntion DYNP_VALUES_READ to read the value of field 1 on the screen
    6. Fill your own table with the values for field 2 based on field 1 and display selection using the function F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST
    Hope this helps.

  • Records not displayed in the WGBEZ field in H_T023_MEPO search help.

    Hello Friends,
    I have created the search help exit , in that based on the LREF3 , we have to fetch the materail groups.
    1.I have written the code in the exit , in the search help exit tables parameter record_tab , the data is coming correctly
    but when we run  search help, the description field is not getting displayed.
    I have shift 2-3 places left side as well but the description is not displayed correctly.
    So how can we get the description field filled.
    2. We want that the LREF3 field should come in the selection screen of the dialog box, so that user can enter the values in it.(dialog with value restriction) so i have added LREF3 field in the search help parameters but i want that
    this field should not be displayed in the results of search help . Only materail group and its description gets displayed.
    So can we achieve the same.
    Thanks to provide answers for my above two questions.

    Hi
    Please go through the related pointers ->
    The OSS note 672960 has already indicated you need to use BADI to address it.
    For Search criteria
    You can also use user-defined fields as search criteria. To do this, you have to set fields XINPUT and XDISPLAY to 'X' in table ET_FIELDS for the fields you want to use in BADI BBP_CUF_BADI_2 in method MODIFY_SCREEN. The fields defined this way are displayed if you choose the 'Extended search' link.

    Howdy,
    DATA COLLECTION - refers to a database table or view.  This is the data that the search help will search through and display based on the parameters provided, so you can create your own view for the search help if you want the search to cover multiple tables.
    SEARCH HELP EXIT - You can create a function module to be able to alter the Search Help's selection and results at various events throughout the search help.  An example of this function module is provided with some documentation in function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE.
    Cheers
    Alex
