Bridge find by keyword no longer finds anything

I have Creative 3 Suite Design Premium installed on an HP notebook running Vista SP1 64-bit. I have updated Bridge manually to 2.1.1.9. The Bridge find by keyword function (e.g., right click on a keyword in the hierarchy, and select find in the current folder) no longer ever finds a photo by keyword. This is true even if the photo is in the folder that is currently open within Bridge.
I have tried reinstalling CS3 completely. I have tried deleting the file Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml, and also the entire contents of the Cache folder, both under [me]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS3. Neither fixes the problem. The problem has been escalated within HP Tech Support, but unfortunately I was out when they called back today. But in any case, I thought I would throw the question open to this forum, hoping that someone might have some ideas. Thanks.

If you hold down ctrl and F, for the find window, type in keyword, and click on "include non-indexed folders" will it find it?
If the folder has not been indexed it will find nothing. But you don't need to have it checked all the time as it will re-index every time if you do, which is slow.

  • Bridge CS4 - I can no longer find the InDesign Batch feature under tools

    I see Photoshop and Illustrator but no InDesign. Did it moved or get renamed? It was working fine in CS3.

    The only menu item under the InDesign menu in CS3 was the Contact Sheet for InDesign script.
    Adobe discontinued that for CS4.
    I have a CS4 version for sale on my website, if you're interested. I kept the price down; but, I can't give that much time without making at least something. www.creativescripting.net

  • 10.5 Finder search windows no longer find files!!!!

    We have a new X Serve with OS 10.5 Server and Three Macs running OS 10.5 Family pack. The X Serve holds all of our work files. The other Macs are simply work stations. Up until recently we have been able to search the X Serve for files by typing in a 5 digit job number. (All of our jobs are saved in this manner) But starting last Thursday, the search windows return no results. We have double checked that the server is checked and that we're searching the right location. We can even go and manually retrieve the file IF we know what it's called and what folder it's in. Even when we are looking at the file, residing in the folder, typing the file's name in the search window results in "0 items". The file is there! I can can find it, why can't Leopard?

    I would suggest that you post your question in the [Xserve forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=854].

  • The 'Find Criteria' in Bridge no longer finds my keywords.

    RE: CS5
    Operating System: OS X 10.9.4
    I recently tried to use my Adobe Bridge 'Find Criteria' and it is not locating any files that have been tagged with keywords.  The keywords assigned to the files are still there when I click on the file.  However, when I do a FIND>Criteria>Results Match: If all criteria are met OR If any criteria are met - nothing works.  'NO ITEMS TO DISPLAY' comes up.
    Note - If I go into a file folder after and open all subfolders associated with the main folder and then I do a FIND>Criteria it then locates those items that I opened each file individually.  These files will then be located in any search BUT not unless I go manually and open all files related.
    Also, none of the Smart Collections worked either.  So I deleted them.  This was before I realized I had a much bigger problem.
    FIND does not seem to locate anything unless, I physically go into all my files and open each one.  This would be extremely time consuming and not a solution.  Somehow something is disabling or something else? I can't seem to find any solution.
    I've also gone into Cache and emptied anything related.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Should this ever happen to you, finally I think I've resolved the problem. 
    Recently, when I was repairing another problem with my operating system (Maverick 10.9.4) I believe I must have deleted or destroyed 'my previews' of keywords associated with a number of specific files.  So when I tried to Filter or use 'Find' in Bridge CS5 none of my files would come up.   The keywords were still there but the previews or filter wouldn't display any.
    FYI, last week I was on the phone with Apple because my 'Finder' was extremely slooooww, it was taking 10-12 seconds to open.  They guided me through repairing and cleaning up to the point that the Finder opened up again within seconds.  It is at this time that I think we must have Cached all the previews and somehow deleted far to much.  Anyway, now I now there is a VERY SIMPLE solution.
    Here is what I did:
    In Bridge, browse to your main folder or folders and go up to Tools>Cache>Build & Export Cache and check it to build 100% previews.  Let it re-build the previews.  This can take awhile depending on how many folders and files etc...
    What I think happened is that when I reset my preferences, cleaned out my Cache etc...the program had to REBUILD the previews and now everything works fine again.  SO IT SEEMS that if previews aren't built, it has problems with showing filter results.
    I think this would happen when going to a newer version of Bridge too.  I did read on another Forum that when someone went from CS3 to CS4 the same thing happened to them.  It is on that thread that I found my solution too!

  • Bridge 4.0.5.11 is no longer finding when I do a keyword serarch

    bridge 4.0.5.11 is no longer finding keyword in my search

    Hi. After an afternoon of getting super pissed, i finally figured it out. I'm on a mac, Yosemite, cc 2014.  I downloaded the zipfile and unzipped and copied the one folder into the correct library ( I checked, twice.) and put a copy of the .workspace file intot he workspace folder.  however, I was copying the WRONG FOLDER.  I was putting the first folder called:  AOM_Mac into the Macintosh HD ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Adobe ▸ Bridge CC Extensions, and the correct folder is INSIDE that. the one that they do indeed say to move, called Adobe Output Module.
    That's what I get for skimming and trying to get it done fast.. pfft.. deadlines...
    Anyway, I got stuck on thinking i had the wrong folder locations, etc.. but here i had the wrong folder.
    Hope this helps at least one other person.  Good luck!

  • TS1398 I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and then mysteriously disappeared. When I click the music icon there is an airplay icon top right which is fine for music, but I can't mirror anything e

    I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?

  • My Apple TV can no longer find my network - help?

    I've been using my apple tv for a LONG tme successfully until tonight.
    It can no longer find my network (airport network)!
    Resetting/restarting the apple tv has not helped. I can't update anything because it can't connect to the internet (even though my computer and phones and even roku are connecting just fine).
    I've tried restarting everything (airport, internet box, apple tv) as well as plugging and unplugging things...
    I had noticed a few times it was having trouble connecting but restarting seemed to fix it. My apple tv is from last year so it's not old.
    Any suggestions?

  • My mac book pro with lion finds my wireless printer on start up, but subsequently can no longer find it unless I restart my laptop. any suggestions?

    my ma bookk pro fimds my kodak wireless printer on start up, but after a period of time, can no longer find it and I get a connection error.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I purchased Puss In Boots from the iTunes store and can no longer find it in iCloud

    I purchased this movie several months ago and up until today have been able to watch it in iCloud.  I no longer find the movie in iCloud or anywhere in the iTunes store.  How do I get the movie I paid for?

    The link I provided says:
    "Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store."
    When I wrote "that can't be right" I wasn't referring to the link you provided, I was referring to the line from your post that I quoted aka...
    Do not rely upon Apple keeping anything...The re-downloading feature is an unreliable bonus, not a storage service.
    While this thread (mostly because of me) now somewhat conflates purchases made on a computer via the iTunes Store and purchases made from the iTunes Store via an AppleTV, I am referring to AppleTV purchases, and I stand by my assertion.
    My point was - and I'll state it again more clearly - is that the entire purpose of the AppleTV product is that you do NOT store your purchases separately, that they are available for STREAMING at your whim.  Apple does not need to explicitly state this.  It is inherent in the product they sell.  AppleTV is a media streaming product.  And, in fact, their own press supports my assertion:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2012/03/movies-now-available-on-icloud .html
    "Movies have joined music, TV shows, books, and apps in iCloud, which means that iTunes movies are as easily re-watchable as your DVD...iTunes stores your movies in iCloud, and they can be downloaded again to your various devices at any time...Movies are stored in iCloud, no hard drive required."
    Apple specficially states the movies can be "downloaded again at any time" -- and "no hard drive required".  This online storage is not a "separate bonus" -- it is part of the deal.  It is a separate matter (and irrelevant to my point) whether one can TRUST Apple to always be there providing that streaming service or whether it would be prudent to back-up any movies one downloads.
    My point was how the product AppleTV is supposed to function.
    Have a good one. 

  • Spotlight not finding metadata keywords

    I can get spotlight to find my images with keywords on the MacHD, but not on the external drive. I formatted it with the Disk Utility as MS-DOS so I can also use it with XP. It will bring up the photos filenames. Any idea why it's noting finding the keywords? Thanks

    There is a way to do a one time (or multiple over a 20 day period) writing of keywords, comments and titles to the original files. Follow the first 9 steps of Tutorial #1 and that will get you those items written to the actual original files.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    No.  When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library.  Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
    It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications.  You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.
