Advanced Search OR condition

Hi,
I'm trying to use the advanced serach feature on Oracle file.When I search for a phrase it returns the files which contains that phrase.It checks for the AND condition beteween the words we search for.I want to search for a couple of words which are in different files and both the files must be dispalyed as the search result.(OR condition)
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply, but it is only the containing folder that has the -B suffix.
The files/photos themselves have the exact same filename in both sets of folders, so I don't think that will work even though it is a good idea.

Advanced Search using conditional & logical operators+ sharepoint 2010

Hi Team,
We have an requirement something like this. we have to search values from Custom SharePoint List using Conditional & Logical Operators in SharePoint 2010. how can i achieve this ? if some one has worked on something like this, can you please share the
details to my email id ([email protected])
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers, San

Hi Santhosh,
If you have only one list, then you can use CAML query to perform search in that list. You can write code to generate dynamic CAML based on selection in the filter.
If have to perform the search function on multiple list then you can use Search object model and create dynamic query and execute it using Search OM.

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.

Functionality loss when 'Using Query Bind Variables in Advanced Search

Regarding: 'Using Query Bind Variables in Quick or Advanced Search'
The functionality to do the following is lost when I use bind variables in the Advanced Search:
"Result matches all conditions"
"Result matches any condition"
"Case Sensitive?"
Is there a way to Search with Detail groups but to keep the above functionality?

Hi,
Your application module impl java class extends the JHeadstart class JhsApplicationModuleImpl. THe latter declares a method:
public void advancedSearch(String viewObjectUsage,java.util.ArrayList arguments,Boolean allConditionsMet).
In your application module impl java override the advancedSearch method where you can include your own custom code before invoking the super method:
super.advancedSearch(viewObjectUsage,arguments,allConditionsMet);
The 'arguments' parameter is an arraylist of QueryCondition objects. You can set several properties for QueryCondition objects such as case-sensitity, operators etc.

Query Bean Advanced Search not showing more than four criuteria

Hi,
I am new to using Query bean for Simple/Advanced Search. I have 6 criteria under the advancedSearchPanel criteria. In advancedSearchMapping, I am mapping all the six conditions. However when I run the Page, only the first four are shown. I am not sure as to why the other two are not rendering.
I modified the order of the conditions and after that again the first four conditions are being shown. I am not sure of the bahaviour as to why this is happenning.
Please help me figure out the issue.
Thanks

Hi (sorry, I am re-opening a very very old post)
I was looking for a way to display more than 4 criterias in the advanced search panel, and I found this topic.
So if I understand, there is no way we can display more than 4 criterias at the opening of an advanced search page ??!!
I really need to display default 9 criterias in this panel (my customer really need it)
1) Is there anyway to do it?
2) When I add a new criteria (a LOV), the only search operators I have are "is" and "is not", while in the standard criteria items, there is more operators ("begins with", "contains", ... ). Why?
thank you

How enable material class for Material Advance Search in MMnn transaction?

Hello,
Isn't possible to include material characteristics in Advance Search (via TREX) for every material fields in ECC? So I can enter material characteristics value in 'Full Text Search' field of material 'Advance Search for Material Using Search Engine' searchelp in order to find material that I want.
I tried to include BUS1088 in SES_ADMIN transaction and succesfully indexed it. But I still can't search with characteristic.

Hi Colleague,
No. This function is not provided in the R/3 System. Only one record is taken into account during the free goods determination with the existence of several valid condition records. This record is the one with the largest minimum quantity. For this record the system only generates one free goods subitem.
Free goods can only be supported on a 1:1 ratio. This means that an order item can lead to a free goods item. Agreements in the following form are not supported: #eWith material 1, material 2 and material 3 are free of charge#e or #eIf material 1 and material 2 are ordered at the same time, then material 3 is free of charge#e.
You can refer FAQ note 549963 which clarifies this point.
I hope it can be helpful.

More delicate search capabilities...or advanced search that is!

First, my personal header for most messages I post here:
"I am not a programmer, I know little about sql programming but I´m passionate about it, so I can learn if explained patiently".
And now to the message:
There´s a table. It´s called "tasks". Now, there´s a search field in which I can typically search in any field of that table. But here´s the thing: my users need to perform more specific searches, meaning advanced ones.
I have created a page with my top 10 forms refering to the 10 most common attributes my users like to filter by, such as: task responsible, due date, status, etc. Each field in this form has a value of course (PX_ID, PX_Status, etc). It has a "go" button and that´s it!
I realised I have to write a query from scratch if I want to use those variables to build a report, and here´s the thing: I managed to do it if, and only of my user completes every search field. When one of them is not completed the result is always "nothing". If the user completes only 1 field, and not the others...he sees nothing!
Of course this version of advanced search easy, just write down the conditions and you´re set! The thing is, and here´s where my knowledge of PL/SQL is not nearly enough to try to figure it out: how do I make this form work, regardless of what the user puts in any field? I mean: how do I make the search work with only the fields completed by the user, without caring that there might be fields empty?
I was tipped to "left join" and "if", but it beats me :)
Help pls?
Thanks!
Alejandro
And here comes the footer in case you didnt read the header:
"I am not a programmer, I know little about sql programming but I´m passionate about it, so I can learn if explained patiently".

Alejandro,
As one option...
If your table is called PEOPLE and has columns: first_name, surname, email_address etc.. and you have page items like PX_FIRST_NAME, PX_SURNAME, PX_EMAIL_ADDRESS where the user can type in what they want to search for, then your SQL query could be something like the following:
SELECT * FROM PERSONS
WHERE
(:PX_FIRST_NAME is null
OR
first_name like :PX_FIRST_NAME)
AND
(:PX_SURNAME is null
OR
SURNAME like :PX_SURNAME)
AND
(:PX_EMAIL_ADDRESS is null
OR
email_address like :PX_EMAIL_ADDRESS)
This way it will not matter if a user leaves one or more search criteria items empty.

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.

-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.

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

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

Unable to create Table Bean advanced search criteria

1) Search panel textinput item should be search allowed true and prompt is need. no other property need to set.
HERE YOU DONT WANT TO SET VIEW INSTANCE AND ATTRIBUTE SINCE WE ARE DOING FOR EXTENDED VO ITEM AS SEARCH ITEM.THAT'S OK. I TRIED WITH YOUR COMMENTS FOR TEXTINPUT ITEM TOO.
Comment--
textinput item created is a simple item without any VO instance , etc.
There is no question of extended VO item, its a simple textinput item.
value in this field is going to compare with the values in result table.
2) Search mapping, only search item id and result item id need to set.
I'M DOING HERE MAPPING FOR ABOVE SEARCH ITEM ID AND RESULT ITEM ID
Comment-- Perfect !!
3) Item created in table , after you extended Vo, view instance and attribute needs to set.
WHERE DO YOU WANT THIS TO BE SET?? CAN YOU ELABORATE THIS MORE PLEASE.MAY BE I'M MISSING HERE SOMETHING.
Comment-- you must have created message styled text item in adv table bean, assign VO instance and attribute to it, right?
4) One more thing Parag, do i need to include where clause for extended VO item in view object??
for ex:
where attribute(this is extended vo item)=:4
Comment-- No need. this will be handled by point#2 above, i.e. criteria and result items.

This is a question about the iTunes Store. I have the correct artist, title, composer, and album name for a song popular in the 1970's. The store's Advanced Search feature can't find any of the information. How can I get Search to find the song I seek?

What can I try if the store's Advanced Search strikes out trying to find the song I want?

Perhaps the song is not available in MP3 format, or isn't available in the iTunes Store, or simply not available in your country. (A Norwegian band's first album from the 1980s became available in MP3 format only in April 2012; an example that not everything is automatically is available in MP3 as soon as possible.)
... and before any wag says, or even thinks "it", yes - the Norwegian band's album is very good! (Still waiting for their second album, from 1982, though!)
You may be surprised at how often a song or album is not available because of "contractual problems" - in other words, someone's being greedy, difficult, or both. (Another album I like, from a UK band of the 70's, was unavailable for a long time because - and I'm quoting the band's leader - "the copyright owner wanted too much money for the album to be on CD.")
You could try looking for the song in other stores. If it's not yet available anyhwere, you'll just have to be patient. You could try contacting the band via any websites they have, and asking them about it's availability. What's the song? Perhaps I (or soemoen else) might be able to confirm it's availability on MP3 from another source.
