Alphabetize Search Result Subsites on a Home Page in Office 365

Location: TeamSite
Issue: Alphabetizing search results listed on Home Page
I understand how to alphabetize subsites on the quick launch and top link bars. I cannot, however, determine how to organize subsite search results alphabetically by title when listed on the Home Page. I've tried adjusting the query string and sorting settings
of the Search Results with no luck. In fact, the sorting tab for building my search query lists the subsites in alphabetical order (though it only shows about half of the total number of subsites), while on the Home Page the subsites are not displayed alphabetically.
I've attached a screenshot of the Home Page and the Sorting tab for your reference.

Hi Aprice,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to alphabetize subsites from search results in Office 365 site. Is it right?
In SharePoint 2013 Online, there is a managed property called SiteTitle. If you go to SharePoint Admin Center->search->Manage Search Schema, and find and edit the managed property, you will see Sortable:No, and you cannot edit the option.
So, we think we can create a new managed property and enable it sortable. However, in SharePoint Online, when you create a new managed property, it will have some limitations. For example, the property can only be of type Text or Yes/No, and it can't
be refinable or sortable. More information, you can refer to
it.
As a workaroud, you can map the crawled property (ows_SiteName) to an already created Managed Property in SPO (RefinableString00) as shown in the below image:
Then go to your Office 365 site, and edit the search results web part to sort the results as the managed property(RefinableString00).
In addition, as this issue is related to Office 365, I suggest you create a new thread on Office 365 forum. The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums
regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

How to display the search result without reloading the whole page

HI,
I have separate fragments for Search Box to enter keyword and Search Result to display the result. Also I have different sections within the page to put these fragments. So how could I display the results without reloading the whole page.
Also if I have next button in my search result area, how could I display the search results in next page without reloading all other sections present in our page. Please let me know if any service or idoc function present such that result could be shown in search result section without reloading whole page.
Please let me know how to restrict page reload for every action within a page.
Thanks,
Ramesh

This is default behaviour of the template of your space. You can create a new page template and than you can create a region for the search results.
Or you can create a custom taskflow were you use the webcenter taskflows to search for the space.
Take a look at this white paper:
Extending webcenter spaces: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/pdf/owcs_r11_extend_spaces_wp.pdf
and this one:

How can I get the cursor to appear in the main search window on the Google home page by default?

The cursor in my Firefox appears in the address bar. I would like it to appear by default in the main search window on my default home page, Google.com. How?

This is all very Greek to me. Is it really this hard just to get the cursor to appear in the main search window when Google.com is one's default home page?
I don't really know much about Firefox extensions. My list includes Adblock Plus 1.3.8; Duplicate This Tab 1.2; Java Console 6.0.25; Java Quick Starter 1.0; Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 0.0.0; New Tab Homepage 0.4.3. Nothing unusual is indicated for either Java item, Console having been updated 4/27/2011.
What to do next?
Thank you.

How to make Google custom search results appear on a new page?

Anybody got any idea how to make the search results appear on a separate page? I'm using the Google custom search to get generated code to place on my pages, after providing some 'guidance' information on the look and feel of it. Normally, Google will provide you with a few options to choose from to determine how your results will look and by default one would choose the "two page" option whilst going thru the setup process. One page for the search box on your own page and one for the results page.
However, if you don't want a 'google-generated' results page but want the layout that's in line with the look of your site AND have the search box already on there for any repeat searches it becomes more tricky. I tried doing it one way, which I found one a blog tutorial but so far no sucess. The 'search box' code that I inserted onto one of my pages to test didn't show up the search box at all in preview or the live page...
Anybody got any generic code that can be adapted (that they know works) or know of any tutorial that explains how to achieve this? Preferably Google related, as I'm using its custom search.
In addition, I believe that recently Google have deprecated the use of iframe in its search results pages so for anybody that was using an earlier version of this facility it may no longer work properly and hence the solution might have to be modified. Not an expert, so not sure how much this fact will affect the final code, just a thought.
Any ideas/solutions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hello adrianm12, this should be possible through the metro settings ("search"). also see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=941292 bug 941292]...

Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

I've found Firefox to be very unstable when it comes to choosing a different home page & search engine, frequently ignoring my choices & reverting to the default settings between launches. This also applies to Google & the choice of language if it's different to that of the country the person's in, which is my main gripe with Google, it doesn't detect the language of the operating system but that of the geographical location, forcing one to alter the settings every time, which is extremely annoying! Please do something about all this if possible, thanks.

How eo get rid of the annoying pop-up box just below the search box on the mozilla home page when I open mozilla?

how eo get rid of the annoying pop-up box just below the search box on the mozilla home page when I open mozilla?

That is the snippet container.
You can hide that container or set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty String on the about:config to make Firefox use some default snippets.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userContent.css
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
*ChromEdit Plus: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url(about:home){
/* hide snippet container on the about:home page */
#snippetContainer { display: none !important; }
}</nowiki></pre>
Can you attach a screenshot if you mean something else?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

Ratnesh[MSFT]

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to download content of wiki pages on SharePoint Online.
If just for getting the text of the page, I suggest you convert page to PDF file first and then download the PDF file via a Visual Web Part as a Sandboxed solution.
A sample about export HTML to PDF:

Restrict Search results not to Show custom Pages

Hi,
I have 10 Pages . The pages are like this :
http://site/file/Pages/abc-thank-you.aspx
http://site/file/Pages/cod-thank-you.aspx
http://site/gog/Pages/ghf-thank-you.aspx
http://site/file/Pagesdiv-thank-you.html
I don't want these pages to appear in search results. I am thinking Crawl rule regex should work. I have tried lots of combinations but none of them work.Please help

You can use Meta tags in the web page to exclude them from search index. FAST Search for SharePoint 2010 will respect Robots Tag
The "NAME" attribute must be "ROBOTS".
Valid values for the "CONTENT" attribute are:
INDEX - Index the Page (Default)
NOINDEX - will not Index the Page
FOLLOW - Collect URLs from this Page. useful for SiteMap page to collect all URLs. (Default)
NOFOLLOW - Will not collect URLs from this page
Add any one of below META tag inside <head>
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

The search bar will not load, home page frozen after down load of new version

Frustrated! I am a teacher and now that I have finally downloaded the new version of Firefox, the search link is frozen on the home page and there is a blank bar that does nothing below it.'''bold text'''

Hi johnFD, 
you should see these articles at first. These are pretty informative regarding your problem. 
* [[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]]
* [[Search the web from the Address Bar]]
 
Also, have a look at these topics: 
* [[How do i change the default search engine in the search bar?]]
* [[Forum Response - Reset location bar search provider]]
Finally, there is a Firefox Extension which can reset your preferences to their default values called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset] 
Could you try anything of these and then report back?

Do Search has hijacked my default home page setting

While updating /downloading Java I suspect
I declined all offers for software and eventually stopped the download
Do Search now is the first page that loads when I click on Mozilla
When I press 'home' (top right/address bar) I go to the Mozilla Firefox Start Page
Options/General/Mozilla Start Page is in the little tab window
Control Panel/Internet Options/https://www.mozilla.org/ is in Home Page window
however if I click on 'Use default' switch "do Search' pops back in.
I deleted/blocked the extension in the Mozilla Add-on section
I ran a virus scan and cleaned my computer, restarted however I cannot fix the problem

The target shows the command that is used to launch Firefox and should only have the full path to the Firefox program enclosed in quotes.
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
If you see a reference to the do-search website then remove that trailing part.

When I open new tabs, they open to Pogo search powered by Yahoo search and not to my home page, so how do I fix that?

I downloaded a game from Pogo and since then, when I open a new tab, instead of going to my home page, it goes to a Yahoo search page. I can't figure out how to change that, but it is very annoying.

That issue can be caused by the Freeze.com NetAssistant extension
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

How to redirect search results to a webapp detail page

Hello there, I am in the process of creating an interconnected series of webapps and I am trying to get the list view of one webapp to display on the detail view of another webapp. This is a bit difficult due to the fact that the webapps are dynamic and users will be submitting them.
Here is essentially what I am trying to do:
On the list view of webapp#1 I have a hidden form, that when submitted should display the search results of webapp#2 on the detail page of webapp#1. In order for this to work I have redirected my search form results as such:
As you can see I have replaced the redirect URL with that of the detail view of webapp#1. This method of redirect has failed to work, when the search is performed I am redirected to a 'page not found' page. I have discussed it with BC Support and they say that it cannot be done in this way. If there is anyone out there who has an idea of how to go about this, I would be grateful. Unfortunately the best way to get my desired results is to submit a search for the relevant itemid that displays a list of the correct webapp items. I also cannot create an inline search for the results directly on the detail page of webapp#1 because I don't want the page to reload. If you know of a way to achieve what I am trying to do I would be grateful.
Thank you for any and all help!

Hi Prakash,
SharePoint indexes each list item with the display form of the items in the lists.
Although the web part is added to the page, the items in the web part are still be indexed from the original list. That is because the web part is rendering the items from the database where the original list stores.
So per my knowledge, we can only get the list items with the display form in the search results.
Best regards.
Thanks
