Bug: Text Search is not working for Excel spreadsheets

Hi,
We have published several Excel, Word and PowerPoint file items to our portal application content area.
However, The intermedia text search is not returning the excel files - it is working on other file formats though!
I have even tried directly issueing select from sqlplus. eg.,:
select name,filename from wwv_document$ where name like '%.XLS'
AND CONTAINS(BLOB_CONTENT,'network')>0;
Result>> No rows selected.
We are using Portal3.0.9 and 8.1.7 DB.
Thanks in advance!
Ram

Firstly, are you syncronizing your indexes. Newly added content is not searchable until the indexes have been synced. See the Portal configuration guide for how to do this.
Are your Excel files being indexed successfull? After indexing, are there any entries for the WWSBR_DOC_CTX_INDX in the ctx_user_index_errors view. You should be able to join via the rowid to the wwdoc_document$ table to see which docs are failing if any are.

I don't think there is anything we can do on a user to user forum. I suggest you report this to Adobe as a bug. Please follow this link.

Search is not working for subsites

hello,
SharePoint search is not working for any of the subsites and it is just working for top level site. I can see that all the subsites is visible in search. Any idea?
interesting thing is, it is not working just for one site collection subsites. If i do search in subsites of another site collection of the same web application than it is working fine and it is working fine for all ohter web apps too.
Please help.
Thanks,

Hi,
I agree with Chris, please check following in your sub site: http://site_name/subsite_name
1. Click on Site Actions -> Site Settings ->Modify All Site Settings
2. Click on Search visibility.
3. Check All this web to appear in search results.
4. Browse to the document library or list in your sub site.
5. Click on Settings->Document Library Settings or list settings.
6. Click on Advance settings.
7. Check the last item - All items from this document library to appear in search results.
Hope this helps.

Full-Text Search has not worked since we upgraded to 2012

I have a filestream database and table. Our full-text searches have always worked until we upgraded to SQL 2012 in December. Now, no file that has been uploaded since December is searchable. What has gone wrong here. It should have been
a clean upgrade. We are not getting any error messages. We are just not getting any records returned when we search on a word that we know are in the documents we've uploaded since December (for instance, the word 'aluminum').
Filestream is enabled for the instance.
A full-text catalog exists and contains a full-text index (the same one we've always had). Full-text indexing is ENABLED.
I've tried rebuilding the catalog and the index. I've tried to do a FULL POPULATION on the table.
We haven't changed our queries nor the way the files are uploaded.
Nothing works. I have been a database administrator since the SQL 2005 days and I have never seen anything like this.
Please help.

Hi GINGER PIERCE,
Since the issue regards SQL Server Search. I will help you post the question in the related forums. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
According to your description, in theory , if you can do a full-text search for SQL Server 2008, when upgrading the SQL Server version from 2008 to 2012, the Full text indexing feature should be run well in SQL Server 2012 databases. If not , you can try
to restore your database from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2012, create an new Full-Text Catalog and Index on the table or view in the database, and then use Full Text Index to search words, phrases and multiple forms of word or phrase via FREETEXT() and
CANTAINS() with “and” or “or” operators. check if it is normal that the full-text search feature is enabled in the SQL Server 2012 instance. For more information , see:
Full Text Search step by step in SQL Server 2012.
Note: In SQL Server 2012 SP1 ， the server will report that Full Text Search is not supported in this edition of SQL Server when it clearly is. The workaround is to create the initial catalog by using a T-SQL query:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG
In addition, since it is a fileStream database, we need to verify if you do Full Text Searches on documents in FileTables, if yes, you should enable FileStream database for your SQL Server, and enable FileTable options for the database. For more information,
see:
Full Text Searches on Documents in FileTables.

Hello,
Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.
The following thread is about similar issue, please refer to:

[BUG] Bing Search & Homepage not working

Hi all,
I'm very very pleased wih my very first BB, namely the Z10. Running now 10.1.0.1880.
Though came across this annoying bug:
After clearing cache and cookies in my browser, Bing search and homepage aren't working anymore. When I search s.th. from the app drawer and click therefore on 'Bing', it loads like until 90% and then nada! Same thing when trying to access Bing.com.
Google and Yahoo search are working as expected, but would like to use Bing. Somehow liking it more
Anyone came along this bug or has got any tips on this? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey creowano,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Does the browser automatically redirect you to the mobile version of the Bing search engine? For example, does the address bar at the bottom of the browser display “http://m.bing.com/?mid=XXXX”, or does it attempt to load the desktop version of Bing?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Hi Deepak,
Is this site collection url (e.g. FQDN url, or host named site collection url) different from other site collection?
If yes, please add the host named site collection in content source.
If not, and this site collection url are the same type/format with other site collection, please "reset index" if possible, and start a full crawl, let us know your resutls.
If issue still persists, please perform a query in search box, see if there is any related useful information from ULS log.
