Autosuggest - beyond the 1st word match

I've searched for this and come to the conclusion that the answer is either so obvious that it's staring me right in the face, or else it's just something that the built-in autosuggest widget won't handle.
I have a simple <cfinput> field that looks up a user account based on text input. The query it calls searches for a user's first name, last name, or email address based on the input. Using the AJAX debugging screen, I can see that the appropriate results are, in fact, being fetched by the query.
The problem is, quoting from the livedocs for <cfinput>:
"You do not have to limit the returned data to values that match the cfautosuggestvalue contents, because the client-side code displays only the values that match the user input. In fact, the called function or page does not even have to use the value of the cfautosuggestvalue
parameter that you pass to it. You should, however, use the parameter if the returned data would otherwise be long."
It's deciding that 'matching the user input' means 'matching the first word of the query results.' In other words, if I have two users, one named Joe Smith and one named Smith Joe, and I search for Smith, it will display Smith Joe but not Joe Smith, because it doesn't 'match.'
Is there some way I can say that, if it matches ANY of the words in the query results, rather than just the first one, to include it in the list of autosuggestions?
Thanks,
Aq

    How can I resolve a recent printing problem I'm experiencing regarding downloads from the web where pages beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed or lines of type at bottoms of pages are missing?

    David,
    Thanks for the reply. I wish I could tell you that your suggestions solved my problem - they didn't.
    I've deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again; I've reset the printing system, then added the printer again; I've downloaded printer drivers, deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again.

    That's definitely enough to start.
    It sure seems like it should work...and then I saw that you're using a router. It could very well be that the router is the weak link here.
    Instead connecting to your network router, try using a direct USB connection from your MBP. If that doesn't work, you read this post, which may be relevant to your problem:

  • How to match the nth word in a string?

    Hi, when I have a string like
    "AA BBBB CCC DDDDDD EEE FF"
    all words are of the form \w+
    and I'd like to match the nth word, for example the third would be "CCC",
    how can I establish this with just one regular expression?
    Some annotations:
    This is done with Java 1.4, but tools like the string tokenizer are not
    possible (restrictions of the application) We're limited to one regular expression!
    In Perl, one would do it this way:
    This would be the regular expression:
    "[\w+\s+\w+\s+](w+)"
    and with the help of $1, you might match the first paranthesis.
    As I said before, this is no solution here, because we're limited to one
    regular expression
    Another idea for Java Regex would be to define a positive lookahead, like (?<=\w+\s+\w+\s+), but as the width of it is variable, it is not allowed!
    Thanks for your help,
    Heiko Kubidsky

    well, i did another test class
    import java.util.regex.*;
    public class NthMatch {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      Pattern p = Pattern.compile(
        "(?:\\w+\\s+){" + args[1] + "}(\\w+)(?:\\s.*)?");
      Matcher m = p.matcher(args[0]);
      if (m.matches())
       System.out.println(m.group(1));
      else
       System.out.println("no match");
    }run: java NthMatch "aa bb cc dd" 2
    does that help?
    what kind of framework you have to squeese the regex in?
    what do you want to do with that regex?
    do you want to check if Nth word maches something, or do you want to retriev that Nth string? or are you trying to do anything else?
    your explanation is unfortunatelly not sufficient :(

  • How do I get the content to match when exporting pages document to word?

    How do I get the content to match when I export a pages document to word format?

    You simply cannot get an absolutely identical export, in any app to any app. Exporting from one app to another means converting/parsing code, therefore the result cannot be identical. In order to have control over your final result, use PDF export. If you need a closer compatibility with Word, use OpenOffice or LibreOffice. I would not bet that Word for Mac would presserve identical page setting if file is created in windows, or vice-versa.

  • Match the given word with dictionary

    Hi all
    I have an issue .
    I need to check the given word from the user input is a dictionary word or not.
    if it is a dictionary word then i am doing some functionality.
    how can i do that?
    thanx in advance

    Load a dictionary of words into a Map of some sort. Use the user's word as the key into the map - if the map returns null, then it can be assumed to not be a real word. You will probably want to provide some mechanism so that the user can populate the map with proper names and other stuff that's not in the dictionary.
    To obtain a (raw text) dictionary with which to populate the Map you could look at the files in the /usr/share/dict folder on most Linux systems. If you don't have one to hand you can probably obtain and download one with a bit of Googling.

  • How can I record narration with no video or beyond the end of my video in iMovie?

    I have a question about recording narration in iMovie.
    I wrote a script to read as the narration for a movie I'm making. My thought was I could record the narration first, then add video to match the spoken words.
    I've done this before in Sony Vegas on my PC and it worked out well, better than trying to speak to what was going on in the video after I record the video.
    Unfortunately, if I try to record narration in iMovie without any video being there yet, it won't record. It appears I need to put a video clip on the timeline first.
    If I put a short clip in and try to record narration beyond the end of it, iMovie quits recording at the end of the video clip.
    So I went to quicktime and recorded my narration there and have 10 audio files (since I just don't seem to be able to read this whole script without making mistakes).
    I then tried to add all 10 to my movie and I think it made me add a video clip first, but after I did, iMovie overlayed all 10 audio files on top of each other.
    If I try to drag them over one at a time, I still can't get them to go sequentially unless I add more video to my movie.
    There must be a way to add audio files or create narration without having to create a video file longer than your audio first.  Isn't there?
    I just can't seem to find a way to get the audio files layed out one after another without more video.  Very frustrating.
    At this point, I really want to know how to add audio files beyond the end of my video since I have them all recorded.
    But I'd also like to know how to record narration beyond the end of the video too for future projects.
    Thanks!
    Brad

    You could insert a bunch of placeholders in the timeline before doing the voiceover.
    You can find a range of placeholders (they are actually templates used in iMovie Trailers) in the Maps, Backgrounds & Animatics browser. This is the last browser at the end of the centre toolbar, after the Titles and Transitions browsers. Click on it and scroll down to see all the animatics (aka placholders or templates). Drag a number of these into your project timeline - as many as you think you need to cover your audio.
    When you've finished the voiceover, drag photos directly onto the animatics and select Replace from the pop-up menu. Adjust the timing by using the Inspector (double-click a photo to open the Inspector, then change the duration).

  • I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly.  It looks right on the template and the 1st row prints right.  The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, preventing it from printing the rest of them correctly.

    I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly.  It looks right on the template and the 1st row even prints correctly.  The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, so the rest of it will not print correctly.  

    There are several ways you can go about this.
    1. Most labels come with Word templates or downloadable Word templates. Simply open those in Pages.
    2. Make a table with extra cells for the thin spaces between the labels and skinny those down to match the spaces. ie You have big fat cells for the actually labels and thin narrow empty ones for the gaps.
    3. Make a floating Text box the size of one label, format with dummy text just the way you like it.
    +Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder text+
    You can now drag and drop snippets of text, the addresses etc onto those and it will replace them matching the style of the existing text.
    You duplicate that text box into position of the other labels by clicking on it with the command kety held down, then drag copy it up or across with the option and shift keys held down. Fine tune the positions with:
    +Inspector > Metrics > Position+

  • How to find the exact word in a long text?

    Hi,
    Scenario:
    I have long text containing the system status of the equipment.
    Issue:
    I need to find the exact word from the list of the statuses. I have tried to use the FIND keyword but it does not work for all the cases.
    Example:
              FIND 'REL' IN <status_list> IGNORING CASE.
              if sy-subrc = 0.
              " do something
              endif.
    If the status list contains the word 'RELR', the sy-subrc is set to 0 (which may be because it searches the list based on a pattern) but I want to get the exact match.
    Can anybody suggest me on this.
    Regards

    It is having RELR so that is the reason you are getting subrc = 0.

    Well, if you are saying you have only 2.78 GB's of space on your hard drive, then you'll want to have more. You should leave about 10-15% of your drive free.

    I'm running LP8 - I have an IMAC OSX 10.5.5 - 2.4 processor - 4 GB RAM - M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface (USB direct to MAC) - I do NOT have an external hard drive ( sounds like I should ? - although I was told by others my system would be sufficient) - I use ALL instruments/track options ( midi etc) and will need to in the future - I want to be able to run a full music project 10-15 tracks. So far I'm running 4-5 tracks -(1) midi - the rest are audio with little to no effects ( in one project I'm using an LP8 template but deleted most of the tracks to cut down on the load ). Don't know if I can freeze these tracks-I'm new to this - thats why I'm looking for options ........ i was also using a 3rd party software in the project - Steinberg Groove Agent 3 (drums) but it was giving me the same error ..even when it was the ONLY track in the project....(its not fully compatible) - however I was finally able to create a full drum track with GA3 - play the midi data back - and record it to an audio track - therefore deleting the midi data I was having issues with and keeping the drums.... hope this helps?

    Posted: Aug 10, 2009 7:54 AM in response to: 4feet4
    Perfect. Well here are some suggestions:
    1) Logic 7, 8 and 9 all have a "freeze" function. Logic 9 has a new "bounce in place" function which I haven't used yet. These will make temporary audio files of your MIDI instruments so that you are able to play them as finished audio for the most part and free up CPU power. ( I haven't yet used "bounce in place", I just got Logic 9.) This will help with MIDI instruments quite a bit, and you can still go back and change them by un-freezing... I guess "thawing" would be the proper term.
    2) The reason I was asking about your audio interface is because I was wondering what you had available. You very definitely want to record to a non-system (on that Logic nor your operating system are on) drive. Firewire is much superior to USB, which is why I'm glad to hear you are using USB as your audio in. By using Firewire in and Firewire out, on an iMac, you would be halving the bandwidth. In your case you are not.
    You will add very much stability to your Logic work by adding an external Firewire drive and recording audio to it, and working on Logic projects there! If you have the money, I'd go with Firewire 800, which is frankly overkill, but why not. Firewire 400 drives will work fine for you. Add one and many of the overload messages will disappear, simply because right now you are pulling information from (in the form of calculating what the virtual instruments and Logic are doing) and writing information to (in the form of writing what those instruments and Logic are resulting in) to the same disk.
    Try these two things and get back to us. I think you'll be very happy with the results.
    It's also important to pay attention to your buffer size. When it is not important for you to play with it in real time, you want to make it be 1024. Otherwise as low as possible. So when you are recording audio to a MIDI drum track, you'd want it to be very low so you can play along accurately. When you have all that done, and are editing MIDI only, then put the buffer higher. When mixing, put it higher.
    Let me know how this works, good luck, L

    Looks like I can pick one up for just a little over $100 ( I'm rolling in that kind of cash) ... please clarify though - you stated: "Firewire is much superior to USB, which is why I'm glad to hear you are using USB as your audio in. By using Firewire in and Firewire out, on an iMac, you would be halving the bandwidth.

    As stated in an earlier reply, if you only have 2 or 3 gigs of free space on your Mac hard drive, processing power is NOT the problem. Your boot disc is way too full. You should have at least 20-30GB free.
    Running a second drive for the audio side will, of course, help, but you MUST clear out the main hard drive (or fit a larger one) before you run into even more serious problems.

    Well, you have enough processing power, that isn't the issue. All the processing power in the world won't matter if you have 64 megabytes of RAM, there will be a bottleneck. Another bottleneck is with data transference. Like I said, when using a single drive to transfer date from as well as to- which is what you are doing when you are using Logic, running within the scope of the operating system, and hosting virtual instruments, all of which is writing the resulting audio information to the same drive, at the same time, then you are creating another problem. But you don't have to do that, by sending the audio written to another drive other than the one the audio is being generated from.
    In other words, your processing power is both faster than and irrelevant to the physical limitations of the hard drive itself.
    Another bottleneck would be if you were recording tracks on a Firewire in, and sending that to and external Firewire drive out. This is one of the limitations of the iMac, there is no way to add what is called another bus, which is simply another pipeline for data transference. You can get around that with a Mac Pro, in which you add another internal hard drive, which connects directly to the motherboard, and has its own bus. Or by adding another Firewire PCIe card, which will add another Firewire bus, again, with its own data transference. On an iMac, you have one Firewire bus, and one USB bus.
    Clear? You can imagine these as pipes of water. The more pipes you have leading to and from a location the faster it will go.
    USB, in your case, is a dedicated pipeline in. Nothing (well, your mouse, maybe a flash drive) is using that pipeline. Your Firewire is a pipeline out, in this case- you could reverse this, it doesn't matter*. If you use Firewire in and out, then you are sending water flowing in both directions in the same pipe. It will work, but not as well. By adding a dedicated bus, you would be adding another pipe to flow in one way, while the original flowed the other way. No impedances.
    I don't see why you can't use the Lacie drive you already have, though. It's quite likely your crash wasn't due to it. No need to buy another drive, if it's Firewire, anyway. Just give it a shot- this isn't a cure all, but just good audio practice. Let me know how it pans out. Good luck, L
    *Firewire is better than USB in all situations. But you seem to be going a track or two of USB audio in, so I'd use USB for that. For light use it's fine. Then you can use your superior Firewire bus to write the audio to the external Firewire drive.

    Groove Agent 3 loads samples into memory so I doubt if your luck will change.
    The -first- thing I would do is clear some space on your hard drive, my feeling is that OSX is writing swap files and the drive head is working overtime to try and find free space to write. That in itself could cause an overload.
    Free drive space now or expect more problems than you're currently experiencing.

    System Overload ...i know ..I'm not the 1st ...
    Posted: Aug 9, 2009 7:52 PM
    Any quick tips on what to do? My project is small - while monitoring my CPU usage it never goes above 30 while running the project - I've got 2.78 GB of free disk space - 4Gig Ram - I dont use my IMAC OSX 10.5.5 for anything but Logic? Hoping to get around this CONSTANT issue - thanks for your help.

    Well, if you are saying you have only 2.78 GB's of space on your hard drive, then you'll want to have more. You should leave about 10-15% of your drive free.

    I'm running LP8 - I have an IMAC OSX 10.5.5 - 2.4 processor - 4 GB RAM - M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface (USB direct to MAC) - I do NOT have an external hard drive ( sounds like I should ? - although I was told by others my system would be sufficient) - I use ALL instruments/track options ( midi etc) and will need to in the future - I want to be able to run a full music project 10-15 tracks. So far I'm running 4-5 tracks -(1) midi - the rest are audio with little to no effects ( in one project I'm using an LP8 template but deleted most of the tracks to cut down on the load ). Don't know if I can freeze these tracks-I'm new to this - thats why I'm looking for options ........ i was also using a 3rd party software in the project - Steinberg Groove Agent 3 (drums) but it was giving me the same error ..even when it was the ONLY track in the project....(its not fully compatible) - however I was finally able to create a full drum track with GA3 - play the midi data back - and record it to an audio track - therefore deleting the midi data I was having issues with and keeping the drums.... hope this helps?

    Perfect. Well here are some suggestions:
    1) Logic 7, 8 and 9 all have a "freeze" function. Logic 9 has a new "bounce in place" function which I haven't used yet. These will make temporary audio files of your MIDI instruments so that you are able to play them as finished audio for the most part and free up CPU power. ( I haven't yet used "bounce in place", I just got Logic 9.) This will help with MIDI instruments quite a bit, and you can still go back and change them by un-freezing... I guess "thawing" would be the proper term.
    2) The reason I was asking about your audio interface is because I was wondering what you had available. You very definitely want to record to a non-system (on that Logic nor your operating system are on) drive. Firewire is much superior to USB, which is why I'm glad to hear you are using USB as your audio in. By using Firewire in and Firewire out, on an iMac, you would be halving the bandwidth. In your case you are not.
    You will add very much stability to your Logic work by adding an external Firewire drive and recording audio to it, and working on Logic projects there! If you have the money, I'd go with Firewire 800, which is frankly overkill, but why not. Firewire 400 drives will work fine for you. Add one and many of the overload messages will disappear, simply because right now you are pulling information from (in the form of calculating what the virtual instruments and Logic are doing) and writing information to (in the form of writing what those instruments and Logic are resulting in) to the same disk.
    Try these two things and get back to us. I think you'll be very happy with the results.
    It's also important to pay attention to your buffer size. When it is not important for you to play with it in real time, you want to make it be 1024. Otherwise as low as possible. So when you are recording audio to a MIDI drum track, you'd want it to be very low so you can play along accurately. When you have all that done, and are editing MIDI only, then put the buffer higher. When mixing, put it higher.
    Let me know how this works, good luck, L

    Ok Great - Thanks - makes sense - I was using a Lacie with Protools an my PC ( it recently crashed) - I was under the impression I would have enough processing power with out it on the MAC.
    Looks like I can pick one up for just a little over $100 ( I'm rolling in that kind of cash) ... please clarify though - you stated: "Firewire is much superior to USB, which is why I'm glad to hear you are using USB as your audio in. By using Firewire in and Firewire out, on an iMac, you would be halving the bandwidth. In your case you are not" ....are you GLAD to hear I am using USB as in - We may have found the problem .... go external to free up processing ? Please confirm.
    Thanks again

    As stated in an earlier reply, if you only have 2 or 3 gigs of free space on your Mac hard drive, processing power is NOT the problem. Your boot disc is way too full. You should have at least 20-30GB free.
    Running a second drive for the audio side will, of course, help, but you MUST clear out the main hard drive (or fit a larger one) before you run into even more serious problems.

    Well, you have enough processing power, that isn't the issue. All the processing power in the world won't matter if you have 64 megabytes of RAM, there will be a bottleneck. Another bottleneck is with data transference. Like I said, when using a single drive to transfer date from as well as to- which is what you are doing when you are using Logic, running within the scope of the operating system, and hosting virtual instruments, all of which is writing the resulting audio information to the same drive, at the same time, then you are creating another problem. But you don't have to do that, by sending the audio written to another drive other than the one the audio is being generated from.
    In other words, your processing power is both faster than and irrelevant to the physical limitations of the hard drive itself.
    Another bottleneck would be if you were recording tracks on a Firewire in, and sending that to and external Firewire drive out. This is one of the limitations of the iMac, there is no way to add what is called another bus, which is simply another pipeline for data transference. You can get around that with a Mac Pro, in which you add another internal hard drive, which connects directly to the motherboard, and has its own bus. Or by adding another Firewire PCIe card, which will add another Firewire bus, again, with its own data transference. On an iMac, you have one Firewire bus, and one USB bus.
    Clear? You can imagine these as pipes of water. The more pipes you have leading to and from a location the faster it will go.
    USB, in your case, is a dedicated pipeline in. Nothing (well, your mouse, maybe a flash drive) is using that pipeline. Your Firewire is a pipeline out, in this case- you could reverse this, it doesn't matter*. If you use Firewire in and out, then you are sending water flowing in both directions in the same pipe. It will work, but not as well. By adding a dedicated bus, you would be adding another pipe to flow in one way, while the original flowed the other way. No impedances.
    I don't see why you can't use the Lacie drive you already have, though. It's quite likely your crash wasn't due to it. No need to buy another drive, if it's Firewire, anyway. Just give it a shot- this isn't a cure all, but just good audio practice. Let me know how it pans out. Good luck, L
    *Firewire is better than USB in all situations. But you seem to be going a track or two of USB audio in, so I'd use USB for that. For light use it's fine. Then you can use your superior Firewire bus to write the audio to the external Firewire drive.

    L - Thanks for laying that out in simple terms - learning a ton and loving it ( when things work) - I will pick up another Lacie - my old Lacie for my PC crashed - I'm better off starting from scratch ( I'm still trying to retrive some data of the old one) ... I'll let you know how it works. I would have got an external drive outright but the Logic Certified guys at Apple told me I would not need one - sounds like this is the big problem. I'll use the freeze method when needed also....... maybe I'll have better luck with Groove Agent 3 with the external drive.
    Much appreciated-

  • Query only works on the first word of the managed property

    I have several managed properties that are not returning query results as expected, they are returning results only if the term queried matches
    the first word in the property, any other query returns no results.
    Scenario:
    filename = "Sample Excel File.xlsx" (OOTB property)
    FooOwner = "Martin Zima"
    FooSiteName = "Test Site"
    If I query filename:Sample, filename:File, filename:Excel (or any combination) they all works as expected. However, if I query "FooOwner:Martin"
    it works, but if I query FooOwner:Martin Zima it fails, and FooOwner:Zima also fails. Similarly, if I search for FooSiteName:Site it fails (only CPSiteName:Test works). Everything seems ok in the crawled property and managed property. Can anyone please help?

    Hi Martin,
    I tried in my envrionment, author:"Rebecca Tu" and
    author:Rebecca Tu returned the same result. Please try author:* and see if it will return all the results. If there is no result, then we should check the DisplayAuthor property in Search schema.
    In the default search result page, there should be Author refiner in the Refinement. You could use the default one as below:

  • Looking for search engine-like word matching

    I wonder if there's any package that can do word matching along the lines of search engines.
    Let's say I have two ArrayLists of Strings:
    'keywords' containing the Strings to search: "one", "two" and "three"
    'match' containing the search criteria.
    If 'match' contained "one" then the method would return 'true'. If 'match' contained "seven", the method would return 'false'.
    Not really difficult, but the search engine syntax specifies the following:
    Keywords that begin with "+" are mandatory
    Keywords that begin with "-" must not be found
    Keywords without prefix may be found
    E.g. "+one", "+two" would return 'true', but "+one", "+four" would return 'false'. "+one", "four" would return 'true', since "four" doesn't have to be found. "+one", "+four" would return 'false', since "one" was found, but "four" was not. "-four" would return 'true', since "four" isn't part of the Strings to search. etc. etc. etc.
    Does anyone know where to find a package that does this?
    Regards,
    Eric

    Well, why write something if someone else has already done it? :-)
    As for the searching of "four": Keywords that have a "+" or no prefix must be matched, so it returns 'false'. So it only returns 'true' if the list contains "four".
    The whole point of the "+" is that if you have several keywords, the ones with "+" are mandatory, the ones without aren't.
    So "+one", "+two" means "one" AND "two", whereas "one", "two" means "one" OR "two".

  • I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document.  I select them in the thumbnails. But I can't delete them.  The 1st pages, the ones I want to keep, are the ones that are deleted.  What do I do?

    I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document.  I select them in the thumbnails, but can't delete them.
    When I choose delete, the 1st five pages are deleted.
    What do I do?

    "2) The last page, p 6,  is not in a Section.  When I delete p 6 ....pages 2 - 6 are deleted.
    Only page 1 remains."
    Every page in a Pages word processing document is "in a section". It may be the only page in its section, or it may be in the same section as several other pages. From the behaviour you are describing, I'd suspect your document has two sections: section 1 contains only Page 1, section 2 contains pages 2 to 6.
    When you click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar to the left of the page, you'll see a yellow border around all or part of that page icon.
    If the yellow border contains only page 6, then Page 6 is in a section by itself, and pressing delete will delete only page 6.
    If the yellow border contains page 6 AND any other pages, then all of the pages within that yellow border are in the same section, and pressing delete (while the icons are selected) will delete all of the pages in that section.
    To delete only page 6 (the last page in the document) you need to either:
    Delete any text content (including invisible characters, and preferably including any other objects) on that page, following the suggestions by Peter above,
    OR
    Click immediately after the last text character on Page 5, then go Insert > Section Break to place Page 6 into a section of its own. Then click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar, check that the yellow border encloses only page 6, and press delete.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: It's pretty easy to add extra pages to a document without seeing the invisible characters that cause the page to appear. Not as easy as it was in Appleworks, fortunately where the personal record for one of my Grade 5 students was a 3 page document with over 1000 extra blank pages sent to a printer. AppleWorks read the enter key as a column break (which acts like a page break on a single column document). On a keyboard with a number pad, enter is in a very convenient location to rest a book (or an arm) while thinking about your writing (or chatting with your neighbor).
