Advanced Search inside iCal

Hi there.
I'm looking for advanced keywords to make complex search inside my calendars.
I found the keywords AND and OR that enable me to find multiple events in a single search. Are there similar keywords to search only events until certain date and some more keywords?
For example ... I need to find all events until 10/10/2009 (something like : * _UNITIL 10/10/2009_
Thank you so much!
Gabriele

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Enter the " character in the iCal Search field. The results pane will have four columns at the top (Calendar/Date/Type/Title). Click on the "Date" column to see the results organized by specific dates.

The function "Search" of iCal doesn't find (iMac)

Hello.
Since a few days, the function "Search" inside iCal, on my desktop iMac, doesn't work. I get no answer or 1 or 2 occurences of a name or a word, even if , when checking by myself day by day, I find the item much more than 2 times.
Though, it seems to work on my iPad (sharing the same iCal's database).

Hello michelorl
If the calendars are not performing the way it should, check out the articles below for troubleshooting. If you are not using iCloud, the advanced troubleshooting has some steps for backing up the calendar, exporting and importing them in to see if any change happen.

How to disable spotlight searches inside packages

Hi,
I tagged all my files inside my document folder, now I'd like to create and save a smart folder searching for all the untagged files, just in case I create or move a file to that folder without tagging it first.
The problem is that I have several files, which are packages with other files in them (created with Scrivener, Devonthink, OmniOutliner...). These other files aren't tagged (and I don't need nor want to tag them) so they are showed in my spotlight search.
I can't exclude the folders containing these files in spotlight preference, since there are a lot of them and I often create new files of these kinds.
I would like to tell spotlight not to search inside packages. Is that possible?
thanks in advance,
pietro

You can't remove it so as it is fixed in the OS of the phone.

Advanced Search (Ctrl+Shift+F) broken with Protected View = All Files Adobe Customization Wizard XI

I've updated Adobe Reader to version 11.0.09 and it was discovered that the Advanced Search (Ctrl+Shift+F) reports back errors on all words searched inside PDF document/
Reproduce:
1. Use Adobe Customization Wizard XI
2. Create a MST file for the Base Adobe Reader 11.0.0 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi)
3. Under Security -> Protected View -> (Set to ALL FILES)
4. Save MST file
5. Install Adobe Reader XI using created MST File and then Install AdbeRdrUpd11009.msp
6. Open any PDF document and search for words using advanced search: (Ctrl+Shift+F) All searches return errors unable to display search.
The error can be reproduced and only occurs on Adobe Reader 11.0.09. None of the previous patches of Adobe had this issue.
The fix actually requires to remove and re-install Adobe Reader but with Protected View=OFF
Please can you confirm bug and report any solution or workaround so that Advanced Search works with Reader 11.0.09?
Thanks

Advances search

Can Spotlight or Search (In Finder) with, advanced search criteria, be used to search inside pdf files. ?
For example, I'm not after attributes about any particular file, just on the text within the pdf which may be unique to given files.. "machine language" for example to list only programming language pdf..
I'm might be missing something but the searches i've tried so far is always mixed.

Yes, Spotlight indexes PDF files by content. Open the Spotlight preference pane in System Preferences, click on the "Search Results" button, and make sure the checkbox labeled "PDF Documents" is selected.

How to get all Conditions in Advanced Search

Hi All,
I'm implementing the AdvancedSearch using Query bean.
I have defined the Criteria row with one Item of Varchar2 Datatype.
On Advance Search the poplist shows only two conditions (Lookup type=ICX_CONDITIONS) of "is" and "is not". How to get the complete list of conditions ("contains", "ends with", "starts with"....)
Thanks,
Satya

What is the item type for which you get only the two conditions.
If the item type is OAMessageChoiceBean or OAMessageLovInputBean the conditon poplist will contain only those two options. And if the datatype is Boolean the conditon poplist will again contain only those two options.

I am having problems using Firefox with Ebay in the last 10 days. The advanced search link is dropping off the page and there is no way to access it now.

I have been using Firefox and Ebay for at least 12 years with no problems whatsoever. But in the last 10 days I have been having trouble with the Advanced Search link disappearing from the page on Ebay. If I do a search from the Ebay home page it will show the results, but the Advanced Search link (in blue letters) which always used to appear to the right of the Search button is gone. If I click Search again at this point I can see the Advanced Search link appear for a millisecond, but then disappear just as quickly. Also, if I refresh the page the same thing happens. I tried to duplicate this problem with Internment Explorer and it didn't occur, so it appears to be Firefox that is causing this issue. Of course when I contacted Ebay they told me my problem was that I wasn't using Internment Explorer! I love Firefox and do not want to switch!

You can try to clear the cache and cookies to see if that makes a difference:
<h3>Clearing Cache</h3>
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
<h3>Clearing Cookies</h3>
#Go to Firefox > Tools > Privacy > Remove Individual Cookies
#Find the site (ebay.com) that's having problems and clear all cookies.
#Restart Firefox
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

How can i manual create a "advance search"?

There is a poplist in the page, and a named "Add" submitButton beside it.
When I click the "Add" button.
I need to create a Bean which is named from the text which is selected in the poplist.
Now, I have two problems:
1.I select a text from poplist, then click the "Add" button. At the first time, I use to setForwardURLToCurrentPage() to create a new Bean. But at the next time, no matter which I select any text from poplist, I only get the text which is selected at the first time. The poplist and "Add" button in one MessageCompontentLayout, and the other compontents (consist of creating new Bean) in the other MessageCompontentLayout.
2.when I create a new Bean, how can I save the Bean which I have created it at previous time.
This function just likes "Advance Search".
waiting for your help. thank you in advance.

How to add a new search criteria in Advance Search Page in OAF

HI,
In my application (R12) we can access customer related information from 2 places (2 different responsibilities as mentioned below), both are OAF pages.
1. AX receivables
2. Sales online
From both the responsibilities we can perform search for customer related information as well (Simple as well as Advance Search).
But Advance Search screen from 'Sales online' allows user to perform search, based on few additional fields as well such as 'Classification' (it's an lov based field).
Now, User is asking to add that field on search page of AX receivables as well.
So, how to add one more field (as search criteria), on an standard 'Customer' screen?
Additional Info :
1. LOV is based on HzPuiClassificationFilterVO
2. And this VO is available on both pages. (oracle.apps.ar.hz.components.search.server.HzPuiClassificationFilterVO)
So can we achieve this by Personalization only ? if yes plz share the steps as well.
Regards,
Adi

Yes. It is possible through personalization.
1. Create a criteria row under Advance Search
2. Create a Result Item under advance table columns
3. Create a Query Criteria Map based on the criteria and result item above.
Please note the newly added criteria field should be in the Searchresults VO attributes list.
Otherwise you need to extend the VO as well.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
-Mukesh.

How can I get a LOV to work in the advanced search area

I am using JHeadstart 10.1.3.3.
We are doing a LOV lookup on User-id. When the user selects a user-id or just starts keying in a user-id I have my Jheadstart code to pull in the full-name whenever the client selects a new user-id or starts keying a userid.
Under UserId we have the following definition
PersonIdentitiesLOV
UserId <= UserId
FullName <= CombinedName
We set up PersonIdentitiesLOV so that "Use LOV for validation" is set to true.
When I tested my code, in the advanced search this is what happened:
1) When the client selects a user-id the FullName field gets populated
2) When the client just keys in the user-id then the FullName DOES NOT get populated.
Someone told me that there is a bug in JHeadstart in 10.1.3.3 where if you turn on the "Use LOV for validation" then it does not get executed in the Advanced Search.
How do I get around this problem.
If this does not work then how would it be best to display the full name whenever someone keys in a user-id. We are using this full name display for auditing purposes at the cashiers wicket whenever someone keys in a userid and does not recognize the person. We want the full name displayed along with userid for verification purposes.
Any idea on how to get this working?

This is not a bug, it is intended behavior.
In search fields you might want to search for parts of the name, using a wildcard, that's why the auto-complete is not working there.
If an end user wants to search the complete name, he can use the LOV to pick a value.

Why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days?

why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days? I really do not understand why if iCal can sync all events, even the very old, the spotlight will not be able to search on events older than 365 days; why? is absurd; let's say I want to search for a person contained in an old appointment: iCal in your Mac with a few key words, I find it right away, but this important feature on the iPhone is locked; we have in our pockets phones are very sophisticated, but it does not manage to make things really trivial.

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

"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

Search in iCal in 10.5.2 Not Working?

I upgraded to 10.5.2 this week and was posting a future event in iCal (several years out) and wanted to see if it posted correctly. So, I clicked in the search field in the upper right corner of the window and typed in the text I entered for the event. The columnar listing area appeared at the bottom of the window, but displayed no contents. I then manually went to the future date and found the event just fine.
In Tiger when I entered text in the search field, the columnar area at the bottom of the screen actually listed the results of my search, but I can get no results in Leopard.
I searched this forum for comments on this issue and found a similar thread from last fall, but none of the suggestions made at that time work for me in 10.5.2.
Can anyone here confirm that iCal is not displaying search results for them? I'd like to know if it's my system, or the application itself.
I find it's working on my upgraded G5 iMac, but not on this new Intel iMac.
Thanks for listening...

I had a similar problem. The symptoms were:
- Search in iCal did not work at all (no result, what so ever, returned)
- Search in Spotlight worked (the same search that did not return anything in iCal would return To-Dos and events in Spotlight)
I started by backing up and restoring, but this did not work.
I then read a lot about potential solutions involving quite extreme things (such as reinstalling Leopard). I then found out that I could solve this issue by simply exporting each calendar and then reimporting them without deleting anything.
For example, I had a "Home" calendar that I exported. I then chose "Import" then picked the exported "Home" calendar and chose my "Home" calendar in iCal as destination calendar. I feared that I would end up with duplicate events and to-dos, but no, iCal is smart.
Once this is done, my search in iCal started to work again and searching items on this calendar would return correct results (as did spotlight).
I then did the same with all my other calendars, and voilà!
Hope this helps

Search Item drop-down does not show any data for Advanced Search.

Hi,
I have a requirement to add a new criteria to the existing Advanced Search region of 'My Employee Information' in Manager Self Service responsibility. I substituted the AdvancedSearchVO to include the new column. Using personalization i did the below steps to show the new column in the page,
1) Created a 'Message Styled Text' item under Table Layout region to display the result. I associated the View Instance (AdvancedSearchVO1) and View Attribute (AttrColumn).
2) In Advanced Search Panel created a new CriteriaRow and set the 'Search Allowed' property to True.
3) In Advanced Search Mappings i tried to create the new mapping but the Search Item drop-down does not show any of the CriteriaRow item. But Results Item shows the 'Message Styled Text' item created in step 1 above.
Any idea what i would be missing becasue of which 'Search Item' property does not show any data?
I am using OAF version 12.1.1.
Thanks, Suresh
