Azure Search for non-azure websites?

I am looking into Azure Search as a possible replacement for a dedicated server running SearchBlox and crawling several domains.
This might be painfully obvious to others, but is Azure Search designed to index non-azure websites? I am unable to figure out how to setup an index for a domain. Does the service not actually 'crawl' in the sense that Google Search or Bing Search would?
Thanks,

Hi,
You can add documents to your search index by using REST API (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn798930.aspx). We are also working on automatically indexing SQL
and DocumentDb data. Currently, Azure Search doesn't support crawling Web sites - Azure Search focus is on searching app-provided data; Bing and Google generally do a great job for web pages. However, feel free to add your vote for this feature on our UserVoice
site:

Are you searching for a file that you downloaded via Firefox?
If that is the case then you can check the Download Manager (Tools > Downloads) and if that file is listed there then right click that entry and choose > Open Containing Folder. If that entry is grayed then the file is no longer in the original download location and possibly removed by AV software.

Mountain Lion Mail cannot search for non-alpha characters in Subject Lines

Under 10.8.3, Mail 6.3 often cannot successfully find messages if the search string contains a non-alpha character.
I have only tested this searching for Subject lines that are KNOWN to contain non-alpha characters
Specfic examples:
Subject starts with "[ABC..."
Mail cannot find it if you search using "[ABC"
Mail CAN find it if you search using just "ABC"
Subject contains the numeral "2"
Mail cannont find it if you enter "2" as the search string...even if you further constrain the search to "Subject contains: 2"
Other problem characters I have found:
The failure when using square bracket is a real pain since a lot of mailing lists are tagged using strings wrapped in square brackets.
Sometimes it WORKS when I include multiple non-alpha characters in the search string, like "55" or "4/19"
Anyone else see this?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Target system install problem (SAPINST searching for Non unicode kernel)

Hi,
I'm currently performing a unicode conversion (from 4.7 to EHP4). I am finished with the upgrade and I'm now in the unicode conversion part.
I have completed the export and selected unicode as the target system. I am done with source system uninstallation and I'm now installing the unicode target system. I have selected unicode during the parameter selection (it's the default option anyway) but during the part where it will ask for the kernel DVD, it doesn't accept the path of my unicode kernel (and instead looks for the non-unicode kernel)

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your response. This problem is now resolved. It turns out that there are some remaining files from the old /usr/sap/<> and /sapmnt/SID/exe that were not deleted yet (after uninstalling for non unicode system). I proceeded to delete again these files and ensure that there are no files from the non unicode system

Search for non-internet Apps for iPod Touch?

I have an iPod Touch, so I don't always have an internet connection when I am away from my house. I would like to specifically search for apps that don't require an internet connection to run. For example, many of the translation tools rely on Google to translate--I would like a translation app with a built-in dictionary that I can use without having internet access.
Is there a way to specify a search for only self-contained apps (don't rely on internet) when searching iTunes? Or do I need to open the description for each app to see if it relies on an internet connection?

No one answered you, but this is exactly what I am looking for too.
What I have found is that, without an internet connection, the iphone and touch products are little more than a pretty music player. I think they call it 'cloud computing'; focusing data storage and function on remote systems and just using the touch and iphone for access. That appears to be the way their development is going. It works fine when you are always near wifi, but where I work has no wifi and no cell coverage. I've found that for most work tasks, translation, secure documents, gathering data, GPS etc, the PDA or smart phone is a better fit. Those store data and applications locally on the unit itself rather than on the internet somewhere that you won't always be able to access.
With all the storage space on the touch and iphones, you'd think they could give a little of it over to onboard apps and functions, but until they do, at least there is the PDA.

Problems when searching for non-Latin characters

In my studies I often need to search for Japanese terms. I usually do this from the Smart Search Field to go straight to Google. However, Safari seems not to be able to handle the Japanese characters. For example, I might type 日本 into the Smart Search Field. I would then expect to see results about the country of Japan (for that is what I searched). Instead, I see this: http://puu.sh/1MwvG
This is pretty much a dealbreaker for me re: Safari. Is there something that will fix it?

I can't seem to duplicate this. Are you typing in the same place I am?　I see I only have 6.0.1...

Lync Addressbook and Search for non Exchange users

Hello All,
I have an question. We have lync server 2013 and we does not have exchange server. We have only Zimbra servers. But i have AD accounts for them. How can we add those accounts in to Lync server ?
How other users search their contacts in lync client ?
regards

Hi,
I don't think Lync Server 2013 can integration with Zimbra Server naturally.
You might post the issue on Lync MSDN forum and more developing expert will help to verify if this can be achieved using Lync SDK. Thank you for your understanding.

Is there a way to search for skipped songs in my iTunes library?

I'd like to know whether there's a quicker way to find songs that are being skipped in my iTunes library, than simply manually checking each one. I've been rearranging and deleting music files in Windows Explorer recently, so I know that there is a chance that I have demolished the link iTunes had to some of the files, but there's no way I can remember what all the modified albums are. I know how to reestablish the links when I do find a song that is being skipped, but I'd love to go through the whole library and be able to find them all at once.
The last time I did this, manually - and it seemed to take hours - I did find quite a lot of songs that were being skipped, and was able to reestablish the links or in some cases just delete the song from iTunes since i hadn't wanted it anyway. But even then it was a little hard, since after manually checking in the quickest way I could - going through the song list and briefly playing each one for a second or fraction of a second - there was no way of sorting the songs by whether they were skipped or not. I just had to be very careful as I scrolled, to catch each one that had the symbol indicating non-playability.
All that to say - is there some better, automatic way of searching for non-playable, skipped songs, and is there some way of sorting them out from the rest so one can address them, and not miss any?

Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

For my Azure Website, I don't see instrumentation for its dependent Azure database

I followed the instructions found at Application Insights Azure WebSite extensions but I don't see any instrumentation for the
Azure SQL database that the Azure website uses.
For the windows "Application Health / Overview timeline"
I see graphs for Client Process time, Send Request Time, Server Response Time, Server Requests and Failed Requests, but no SQL
For the windows "Diagnostics / Diagnostics timeline"
I see graphs for Server Exceptions, Browser Exceptions, Failed Requests and "DEPENDENCY FAILURES" has as text box over it stating "Learn how to collect dependent resource data". It seems that it should be able to see the Sql Server,
but it doesn't
Any thoughts how to fix this,

Hi John,
Thanks for confirming your AI Nuget version is 0.12. What I meant by "choose site extension" is that if you follow the process in the blog post that you reference (Application
Insights Azure WebSite extensions) there's step #2 that describes how to enable Application Insights extension from Azure Websites blade - click on Extensions part, click +, Add Site Extension, Choose Site Extension, Application Insights Extension,
wait for it to be installed, verify that it appears in your Installed Extensions list. Please can you confirm that you have enabled it for your website.
Thanks!

Is CDN built in Azure Websites or CDN needs to be created and linked to website for content sharing

Is CDN built in Azure Websites or CDN needs to be created and linked to website for content sharing...

Hi
CDN is a separate service in Azure and you can serve your content there.
Then your azure website can use those CDNs that you provide in azure (just like any other CDN out there like Jquery Ajax etc ..)

Best Practice while configuring Traffic Manager for Azure Website

Hi Team,
I want to understand What is the best practice while we configure traffic manager for Azure website.
To give you the base, Here let me explain my requirement. I have one website which 40% target audiences would be East US, while 40% would be UK and rest 20% would be from Asia-pacific.
Now, What I want is Failover + Performance based Traffic Manager Configuration.
My thinking:
1) we need to create 1 website with 2 instances in each region (east us, east asia, west us for an example). so, total 3 deployment of website. (give region based url for the website)
2) create traffic manager based on performance and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonperformance
3) create traffic manager based on failover and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonfailover
4) create traffic manager and ?? don't know the criteria but add both above traffic manager here and take your final url for end user.
I am not sure (1) this may be the right approach or not (2) if this is right, in the 4th step which criteria we should select while creating final traffic manager round-robin/ performance/ failover?
after all these if use try to access site from US.. traffic manager will divert that to US Data-Centre or it will wait for failover and till that it will be served from east-asia if in configuration, east-asia is my 1st instance?
Regards, Brijesh Shah

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your quick reply. actually question is bit different. Let me explain you different way.
I was asking for recommendation from Azure Traffic Manager team. whether my understanding is correct or not.We want Performance with Failover.
So, One azure website we have: take an example todoapp. I deployed that in 3 different region. now, I want to have performance based routing as well as failover based routing. but obviously I can't give two URL to my end user. so, at the top of that I will
require one more traffic manager. So,
step 1: I will create one traffic manager with performance criteria named: TMForPerformance.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
step 2: I will create one more traffic manager with failover criteria named: TMForFailover.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
step 3: I will create one final traffic manager with performance criteria named: todoapp.trafficmanager.com where I will add these two traffic manager instead of 3 different region's website.
Question 1) Is it correct structure if we want to achieve Performance with Failover or Is there any better solution?
Question 2) in step 3, what criteria we should select? performance/ round robin/ failover

Applicationhost.config updates for HTTP Slow Post with Azure Websites

We are trying to update our Azure websites to not show as vulnerable to the HTTP Slow Post vulnerability. Some articles suggest fixing this by updating the applicationHost.config via IIS to update the connection timeout values. Obviously with Azure websites,
we don't have access to IIS. Came across some options with Kudu and XDT to modify the application host file, as outlined on these two sites:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-transform-extend/#transform
http://rtigger.com/blog/2014/03/31/number-til-modifying-you-azure-applicationhost-dot-config
Currently am using the following as our applicationHost.xdt (I have this both in our application root, as well as in a SiteExtensions folder as I wasn't clear which one was required).
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<system.applicationHost>
<sites>
<siteDefaults>
<limits connectionTimeout="00:00:30"
xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</siteDefaults>
<applicationDefaults applicationPool="DefaultAppPool" />
<virtualDirectoryDefaults allowSubDirConfig="true" />
</sites>
<webLimits connectionTimeout="00:00:30"
xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</system.applicationHost>
</configuration>
We also set the WEBSITE_PRIVATE_EXTENSIONS app-setting to 1 as instructed.
When testing our site using a 3rd party tool, it appears the setting is not getting applied. Hoping someone can point out where our error may be. Alternatively, is there any way to see what the current applicationHost.config is for our website? I'm curious
if our XDT is correctly being applied, so if we could see what the resulting file was that may also allow us to further troubleshoot.
Thanks in advance for any advise!

Please see
this page, which has detailed steps on finding your applicationhost.config and finding the logs from the transformation. And please make sure that your applicationhost.xdt is in your
d:\home\site folder (and not in your site\wwwroot).

Azure Storage Used by non-Azure Website

I inherited a MVC EF website that was later converted to Azure for everything. We are taking the Azure Website and Azure SQL Server off Azure however and hosting both on our own servers. However we still want to use Azure Blob storage.
Apparently on my development environment I have to install the Azure SDK for Visual Studio and configure settings using a command prompt. On my local environment I was getting (Azure Reader?) errors relating http://127.0.0.1:10002. When I uploaded
the production site to the new server I getting the same errors. What do I have to configure to get rid of that?
Thank you

Thank you so far!
I fixed that in the web.config file to point to our blob storage account
<add name="AzureReader2" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=blobnuqa;AccountKey=<our account key>endpoint="http://blobnuqa.blob.core.windows.net" prefix="~/azure/" />
and I don't seem the be getting an error.
I have another key in the web.config file however and the settings above generate errors when I point to table storage:
Original:
<add key="TableStorageConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />
New:
<add key="TableStorageConnectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=blobnuqa;AccountKey=<our Key>; endpoint="http://blobnuqa.tabel.core.windows.net" />

Over 10% downtime for Azure Website Shared?

My monitoring software is reporting about 11.52% downtime over the last 12 days for our Azure Website that is on a "Shared" plan. Is this normal for Azure? It seem something is wrong, most of other hosts guarantee at least 99% uptime.

Hi,
I would request you to monitor using Monitor management page and check if it shows the same thing, here is the link:
