Analytic and federated search

Is there anyway to get analytic server to collect data on federated searches? We have a custom search that uses federated search and we need to collect search terms...

How to get the SharePoint user context available in custom federated search connector?

Hi,
I'm investigating the possibilities for developing a federated search connector for SharePoint 2013 Online. This should allow us to search a customer's database through our custom developed application (both on premise). We intend to develop
an remote federated search connector (using OpenSearch protocol) and configure a result source in SharePoint for that connector.
The problem I'm struggling with is that I want different search results from this ressult source based on the permissions of the user that is executing the search. The admin should find a lot because he has permissions on certain items in the custom
application. The employee should find just a few because he has no permissions on certain items in the custom application. We developed the custom application ourselveds and the search in that application is taking permissions into account: it doesn't
return results if a user doesn't have sufficient permissions. That part works just fine.
However, to be able to use that, the remote federated search connector must be able to identify the user that is executing the search in SharePoint Online. So: how do I get the SharePoint user context in the remote federated search connector?
I know I can configure the replacement token {User.Name} in the result source configuration, but that gives me the name of the user only. This is insufficient to get an identity, principal, token or whatever, that let's me log in into our custom
application.
I also know that in a provider hosted app, user context is passed through from SharePoint and is known within the remote app. But since result sources need fixed (or anonymous) credentials configuration for connecting to the remote federated search connector,
all users will be using the same credentials. This makes me assume these credentials are for securing communication and cannot be used within the execution of the search within the remote federated search connector.
At the moment, I'm stuck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ruud.

Hi,
Per my knowledge, we cannot get the SharePoint user context available in custom federated search connector with other methods.

Simple Federated Search

Does anyone have sample code for running a simple federated search query (e.g., http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=, http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=, etc.) ? I would like to add several of these simple searches to the list of federated search engines.
Thanks.

We currently have a field where a user can enter a search term and select the data source from a drop-down list like the following:
<select name="SearchEngines"><option value="http://www.jtbaker.com/asp/catalog.asp?searchdata=">MSDS</option><option value="http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=">Dictionary</option><option value="http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/thesaurus?book=Thesaurus&va=">Thesaurus</option><option value="http://www.google.com/search?q=">Google</option><option value="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=">Yahoo!</option><option value="http://www.altavista.com/web/results?q=">Alta Vista</option></select>
What we would like is to have this list of data sources on the "Search Locations" section with check boxes when you click on the Federated Search icon.

UltraSearch - federated search

We want to make use of the federated search technology within UltraSearch, but there is a problem using the 'federator resource adapter'.
Deploying works, but the UltraSearch Administration cleaves on the JNDI location "eis/oracle", which does not exist:
There are no available resource adapter. Verify the configuration and deployment of your resource adapter.

The UltraSearch documentation (UltraSearch User's Guide) regarding federated search and federated sources is pretty inadequate.
Is there any document describing this topic?
System:
UltraSearch: 9.2.0 (API version 9.0.4)
Oracle Portal: 9.0.2.5
Operation System: Sun Solaris 5.9 (Sparc)
Oracle Aplication Server: 10g (Patchset 9.0.4.1)
Database: Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.5.0

Dorian,
I realize that this post is a year old, but I am also trying to utilitze the federated search in UltraSearch. I have read that the capability exists but have not found any documentation on how to implement. From this post, it looks like you made progress. How did you find info on how to use this capability?
Thanks,
Amy

Portal to Portal Federated Search

Hi All,
There is probably a really simple answer to this but I'm having difficulties seeing it at the moment. As you can see from the title I'm trying to configure a federated search to search for documents within another portal instance. I've read the admin guide, online help & various discussion and yet I'm still none the wiser.
I understand that when you install the portal (v5.0.4) you get an incoming federated search for free. This allows someobdy to search as guest user. What I also assume is that on the portal which will be doing the search I need to set up a Outgoing federated search. Is this correct? If so then no problem but the question is that this needs to be based on a Web service. The documentation points to the EDK search API to develope this and hence the problem. I'm not familar with search web services so not sure what I should be aiming to return? Or infact anything that should be contained.
I'm developing in Java and have looked at the 2 examples but still feel lost. Can anyone point me in the right direction or further explain what I should be trying to achieve and how to get there.
Many thanks, Adam

Hi Rani,
see my answers bellow:
1. You mean you are in the Room Maintenance iView and add a new room member, and you can give him any role but the owner role? That's strange. Could you send me a screenshot?
2. By default, the search for rooms, for example, in the room directory, in the room list, in room administration, or in the room relations manager, is performed using the SAP search engine Search and Classification (TREX). If you deactivate the TREX search for rooms or you have not installed TREX with the portal, the system switches automatically to the Content Management search function (CM search).
Here the link for more info: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/6b/4e9442c22d1131e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
3. Here the definition from SAPHelp: "A federated portal network allows organizations with distributed portal installations, both SAP and non-SAP, to provide a single portal access point per user to portal information, services and applications distributed on portals throughout the entire organizational network. This implementation allows existing content and configurations to be utilized, and to minimize necessary administration efforts". So you were right about your assumptions. Here you find more information: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/67/7e70424edcc553e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
Hope this helps,

Extending the Federated Search Results

Federated Search
I am looking on how to extend the Search Results in the Federated Search. Right now there is Rank Application icon, title and summary. The search service I have has 4 more columns. What would be the easiest way to extend the number of columns for the search datasource I have.
Anthony Chestnut

Prabhu,
There's no specific docs on this page, but you should be able to customize the federated search results page in the same way as any other portal page. Look for the general documentation on UI customization. You'll probably need to look over the code for the federated search page to see how the search is invoked. The Activityspace you want to customize is called "NetworkSearchAS", and the code is in com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.search.network (in the portalpages DLL or jar).

Federated Search Error

Hi, I have developed a few federated search agents against our document management system. The search agents work great, etc, EXCEPT for one glitch. When the search is invoked, the portal contacts the search agent and the search builds the document result set and sends it back, all basic stuff. So, if i get 150 results the page display would show display 1-20 of 150. The problem arises when i click next to get the next set of data. The portal shows me the same 20 dsocuments i was looking at but says 21-40 of 150. Now if I click next and then previous or previous and then next it shows me the correct 21-40 documents and all others are fine. Upon investigsting the issue, I found that the portal was contacting the search agent once to get the search result, but when the user hit next for the first time the portal contacted the search agent again and reran the federated search, but everyother next or previous click after that it did not. Any ideas? it's almost like it forgot that it contacted the search agent the first time. Has anyone experienced this problem or know of a bug. The search agent was built verbatum from Plumtree documentation and even reviewed by Plumtree to no avail :(

What is the soap request saying for the following values? If the number to return is set to 10, for the second request, it should be:
<NumberToSkip >10</NumberToSkip> <MaximumReturn >10</MaximumReturn>
The only (non-bug) reason that NumberToSkip should not be set is if the TotalNumberOfHits was set to less than 10 (or whatever you have set for the number returned).

Federated Search for Documentum

Hi. Has anybody implemented a federated search for Documentum? I think Documentum uses Verity internally for full text indexing, but Verity is tightly integrated with Documentum's own metadata search - does Documentum expose the search functionality as a web service - is there any customization required on this web service (meaning, is it already a SOAP web service that Plumtree understands readily or do we have to write any custom code). Any inputs on implementing federated search for remote search repositories such as Verity, FAST, Autonomy would be helpful?

Hi Bbelko, as Raji mentioned,
Lync Desktop Client cannot search any external source outside your organization.
Nevertheless, Lync Full Client can search against your local Outlook contact lists (only your personal contact and linked contact lists like LinkedIn or Facebook). Additionally, Lync is generating its own Address Book (ABS) which it can search against. You
can modify in Lync how the service should generate the address book, based on the GAL. GAL here does NOT mean the Exchange GAL, instead it is the Active Directory. It only queries information based on Exchange attributes.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg429711.aspx
How this helps understanding how the service is working via the User Replicator.
Federated contacts can be therefor also only maintained in AD.

Federated Search Error - Hello World Sample

Hello,
I am trying to setup a Federated Search using the example HelloWorldSearch.war (java version). I am relatively new to the Portal Technology, but have extensive experience in web app development.
I am getting an error when I try to run my Federated Search. "Error - Error executing search on Test Federated Search : Federated search of federated portal object 200 could not be executed. The federated portal may be configured incorrectly." Any Ideas?
I have created 3 Portal Objects:
1) Remote Server - this points to my Tomcat instance - http://msc_tesposito1:8080/
2) Search Web Service - which points to app/service. I have specified "HelloWorldSearch/services/SearchProviderSoapBinding" and linked it to my Remote Server Instance.
3) Federated Search - linked this to my Search Web Service.
I then took the HelloWorldSearch-Java.war file from the samples provided, renamed it to HelloWorldSearch.war and dropped it in my Tomcat webapps directory. I can hit the web service just fine by executing "http://msc_tesposito1:8080/HelloWorldSearch/services/SearchProviderSoapBinding".
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might be able to do to get this working?
Tom Esposito
Manheim, Inc.
www.manheim.com

It works fine on my local tomcat. All this search returns is - "Place holder" string, it's harcoded there.
It seems you have registered exemple by manual. Try use migration tool - ...\plumtree\ptportal\5.0\bin\native\ptmigration.bat
As soon as migration(import) is done all you need to do is change url to your actual remote server

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy...

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy... When I search for a file, A) it asks me if it's a name, or it wont produce anything, and B), its slower than in prior OS versions and in some instances I have to toggle to a different directory and go back to my original directory in the search: menu bar or the search wont produce anything... Very buggy.

It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
File access has been trashed in Maverick.
They have improved (read broken) Finder. I need to manage a way to downgrade to Lion again.

How to create a Windows 8.1 Desktop icon from the Metro/Start and/or Search Tool?

I'm a Desktop user, but often find myself needing to go to the Metro/Start and Search Tool to find programs and App(let)s in order to run them. However, after doing this several times for many programs, I find myself wanting to create
Desktop icons to run the programs more easily. Is there a way to do this from the Metro/Start Icon and/or Search Tool results?
If not, Microsoft, please consider adding the ability to do this.
It would be very nice if this ability supported all of the icon types shown in the Metro/Start, Search Tool, and Control Panel interfaces, e.g.: Metro Apps, Desktop Programs, Charms, and Control Panel Applets.
Currently, there is a way to pin the Metro/Start Icon to the Desktop, but the Taskbar will get very cluttered with even only a handful icons.
It would be very nice if the desktop icon created by this also supported the context options that the program/app(let) now shows as Tasks when the icon is pinned to the Desktop Taskbar.
Additionally, it would be nice if I could also simply drag a Pinned Taskbar icon onto the Desktop area, again, retaining it's Tasks as context menu options when the Desktop Taskbar icon is right clicked.
This ability would be very helpful for people needing to get to programs and App(let)s, without having to resort the Metro/Start and Search Tool, because when there are a lot of Metro/Start icons, I have well over a hundred icons, it
can be very hard to find one simply eye-balling lot. The Search feature is much better, provided I know the name to look for and can remember it.
Finally, this ability would be very helpful, because the kinds of desktop shortcut icons that I can create using the New Shortcut option, assuming that can I find the program/App(let)'s name and path information, do not support the context options
that the icons could in Windows 7 when an icon is created while installing the program.

Hi Howard Brown,
Thanks for your suggestions about Windows user experience. Actually, we are glad to hear more feedback
about Windows operating system so that we can improve Windows to make it be more easier to
use.
As a suggestion for your current situation, you can use Windows Charm Bar to search Apps, it is also easy to use.

My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.
