Bug in the forum search area

Hi,
I tried searching on the "CFML-General Discussion"forum. when
you do , you get a error, please check it. :)
"Variable FTVAR_RESULTTYPE is undefined"

Thanx

Long ago I concluded that the search function in these forums
was generally useless so I have no reason to try.

How can we turn off auto-correction in the forum search?

This recent auto-correction in the forum search is driving me nuts. It is way too overzealous. There is no way to win the fight!
Example:
Try to search for "voight" (the famous lineshape).
It seaches for "right" instead
There is a small link to actually search for "voight" so we press that.
So far so good.
Now I want to limit searching for only my posts, so I enter "altenbach" on the left.
Now the search term switches back to "right" .... grrrrr!!!!! (see video)
Again, there is a small link to actually search for "voight" so we press that. (see video)
Now we are back to #5, because the "by altenbach" has disappeared again. (see video)
Repeat steps 5..8 forever. No escape to get what we actually want.
In the video you see how the "by altenbach" disappears once we click on "search instead for voight".

Logical AND not working in the forum search box

Logical AND of search terms does not seem to be working in the MSDN forum search box. Example: I go to the Project Customization and Program forum and type the word
subproject
in the search box. I get a lot of hits. So now I try to reduce the number of hits by typing
subproject AND read
Surprisingly, I now get MORE hits than before. The same thing happens if I enter
subproject & read
Do the MSDN forums not support the standard logical AND combinations of search terms? If they do support these combinations, what is the syntax?

Cheers, you're welcome.
There's a thread going in the Suggestions forum with plenty more requests for updates to the search tool. You may want to add your voice there too:

Improvements to the forum search

I often need to search for hints on the jdeveloper forum.
I would like to suggest some improvement to the forum search
1) when i search with more than one word i would like to see only the results in which all the words appear, or at least to see first the results with all words and then the others
2) in the search results every thread should appear only one time, in my opinion
Thanks, Mauro

Very embarrassing, the search tool is right here in front of my eyes.

Where the Forum informations are stored?

Hi all,

Hi,
Did you press the Advanced mode when you are under repository manager?
If the forums repository is not present, then you did not install Forums Application.
Check this:

Are there two bugs in the forums?

1. The forums only seem to list who opened the original question, not who last posted. To keep track of my own replies, I need to see who last posted. How to do this? (It used to be there before they redesigned).
2. Similarly, how do I get to see only UNREAD posts, not have to start again from the top?

For best ASC forum results Use Hiroto's changes. See items 6 below.
There is a missing column. Was four columns ( ??? ) now only three. They reduced the lettering size to get more information on the line. I guess you could say they are listening, but can get over that they are wrong about the layout.
With the real thing:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated
Does show last poster. It's worded as by .... Bit misleading by it's ASC.
Discussion lists do not.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
     Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
        Start an auto reloader. Thanks to ChitlinsCC.
Safari = SafariTabReloader
Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
Reply technique
Open a new browser window. Pick some discussion. Open a reply window. As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in. The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
         turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
Site map of Communities and Categories
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
6) Adjust the ASC web page layout.
For FireFox
I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
For Safari
"ASCPowerTools is a Safari Extension designed to give more control"
http://www.etresoft.com/ascpowertools
7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

How can I get a LOV to work in the advanced search area

I am using JHeadstart 10.1.3.3.
We are doing a LOV lookup on User-id. When the user selects a user-id or just starts keying in a user-id I have my Jheadstart code to pull in the full-name whenever the client selects a new user-id or starts keying a userid.
Under UserId we have the following definition
PersonIdentitiesLOV
UserId <= UserId
FullName <= CombinedName
We set up PersonIdentitiesLOV so that "Use LOV for validation" is set to true.
When I tested my code, in the advanced search this is what happened:
1) When the client selects a user-id the FullName field gets populated
2) When the client just keys in the user-id then the FullName DOES NOT get populated.
Someone told me that there is a bug in JHeadstart in 10.1.3.3 where if you turn on the "Use LOV for validation" then it does not get executed in the Advanced Search.
How do I get around this problem.
If this does not work then how would it be best to display the full name whenever someone keys in a user-id. We are using this full name display for auditing purposes at the cashiers wicket whenever someone keys in a userid and does not recognize the person. We want the full name displayed along with userid for verification purposes.
Any idea on how to get this working?

This is not a bug, it is intended behavior.
In search fields you might want to search for parts of the name, using a wildcard, that's why the auto-complete is not working there.
If an end user wants to search the complete name, he can use the LOV to pick a value.

Make the Forum Search Tool useful

The current Forum Search Tool is nearly useless. Please add the following features to make it a functional tool:
1. Logical operators - i.e. allow the following searches: cow AND chicken, cow OR chicken, cow NOT chicken (or -chicken)
2. Quoted text to search for exact phrases - i.e. allow the following search: "my chicken says moo"
3. Results with date ranges - i.e. allow the following search: weird chicken, Results before 04/01/2012 or after 04/01/10 or between 04/01/2010 and 04/01/2012
4. Mix it up! "My chicken says moo" AND "purple chicken feed" -cow, results after 12/23/2012
5. Search in one forum only - i.e. allow the following search: "chicken says moo" ONLY in the "Farm Animal Behavior" forum
6. Search ONLY in posts (answers and/or questions) made by a particular user - i.e. allow the following search - "purple chicken feed" posted by user "Farmer Brown" ONLY
7. Do NOT include variations of words that you "think" might be "helpful". Right now a search for the word "running" yields results that contain the following words: running, run, runs. Weeding through all the useless
"helpful" results is a huge waste of time and makes it difficult in the extreme to actually find "relevant" results. HINT: There might be an actual REASON why we want to search for "running" and
NOT "run" or "runs".
8. Please make the default operator AND instead of OR when more than one search word is used. Adding more terms to a search tool should produce FEWER, MORE REFINED RESULTS instead of MORE, IRRELEVANT RESULTS. Very few people ever want
to search on a single word only. This is especially true in a technical reference environment!
9. Sometimes I WANT a word spelled exactly as I typed it. If I get results that I do not want because I misspelled a word, I can just retype the search. If you FORCE me to use your spelling, this makes my search completely useless. Please
give us MORE options rather than less!
10. Remove search result highlighting. We don't need the words we just searched for being blasted at us in highlighted bold.
NOTE: If there are any other requests for the search tool, post them as replies and I'll add them to this list.
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

Hi,
i have posted many question but now i want to search a particular post by searching this forum but i found search is not finding in my thread rather it is searching keyword in all thread. so guide me how to search my posted question only in this
forum? who can help. please develop a powerful search for msdn forum. thanks
Searching in one forum is currently possible, you just need to make sure that you only have a single forum selected in the left rail:
This walkthrough is a bit out of date now, but it should still be helpful for selecting only a single forum:

Is the forum search broken?

Even tried searching on "Solaris" with no results.

Yes, I think you are right. It looks like the box that says "Forum Search" sends you into a search function for other Sun documents, but doesn't actually search the forums.
(BTW, I can see that they might exclude Solaris from the search since it would appear in a gazillion Sun documents -- but I tried searching for a couple of specific terms that I could see in messages, which seemed unlikely to be stop words, and got no results or only results from outside the forum)

Is this grafic bug on the iTunes search common?

With the new iTunes, I got this grafic bug in the iTunes store.
What to do to fix this?

You can set the Default Type before you send the message under SENDING options to TEXT (default is automatic)
But then all it does it will not send the message if more than 20 recipients are there it will tell you how many recipients over 20 you have entered.
Say you have a group of 26 contacts and then you enter that and then select Options -> Sending options -> Message Type
Set to TEXT
Then if you try to send it will tell you that you have to remove 6 recipients.

Where did the Forums Search function go???

Hi All,
I can't find the search function in SDN forums anymore, where is it?
I'm wondering if i'm the only one or if it has been moved and i'm just too stupid to find it....
Thanks
MK

refer to this thread How to search in SAP forums??
another way is use Google and place site:forums.sdn.sap.com before your text

Narrow down the forum search function

Is it possible to use the built in search function but to limit the search to a certain forum or space?

It does to some extend. Though I was looking for a way to limit the search by spaces, not to filter the search result. For instance to search for ASM, but to exclude the ASM group or space. I think it was nice to be able to select or choose from a list of space names, and to be able to restrict the search using multiple "spaces".

Is the forum search engine broken?

Is it just me or is the search engine in this forum broken? I have tried to search for "Java","System","PrintService" etc. I everytime I get 0 results...

"Broken"? No. "Not very good"? That's a fair description.
Maybe the problem is your search. Have you tried different combinations?
Take "Java" out of the search. This IS a Java forum, after all.
What does "PrintService" bring back on its own?

Forum search links are broken

Is anyone else experiencing this? The forum search works fine but none of the links work. Pretty frustrating when you end up paging back through 60+ pages of postings to find the one you want to see.

Hi JJRAY,
True the links are broken at the moment. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.We would see to it this is resolved ASAP.We appreciate your patience on this.
