Can I do an advanced search in mail?

I'm having trouble searching for conversations in my inbox.
This is because most of the names that I am searching also appear in my CV. This means that everytime I search their name, the results also show every time that I have sent my CV to someone. And annoyingly, they seem to miss out the actual conversation I am looking for.
Does anyone know a way that I can search my emails without including words from inside attachments?
Thanks so much for any help.

Can I increase speed of searches in mail?

It seems to take longer than ever to search through my mail on my new imac core duo. Is the amount of mail a factor? I use an imap account but always copy my mail into my imac. Is it a problem with mail and Rosetta? Anyone know?
imac core due Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK. Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command, and press <Return> (you can copy the command here and paste it in Terminal):
sudo mdutil -E -i on /
The -E option tells Spotlight to delete any already existing index data (so that it’s rebuilt from scratch all over again). The -i on option ensures that indexing is enabled. Finally, the ‘/’ at the end means "apply this command to the startup disk".
After entering the previous command in Terminal, you’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Just type it blindly (you won’t see any feedback of the keystrokes while you type it) and then press <Return>.
For best results, quit Mail and don’t play too much with your disk while Spotlight does its job -- i.e. avoid files being created/modified/deleted, mail being downloaded, etc.

How can I do an 'advanced' search in the 'Find Bar'?

I want to be able to search for any instance of either "hour" or "min" (for example) in an open page. Is there any way to do this? (e.g. hour | min, "hour" OR "min", etc.)
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I started wanting to do more complex 'Find Bar' searches.

Tags, Keywords - tagging and filtering/searching photos - an other `advanced search`

Hello,
I'd like to know, who of you would like new functionality on handling tags for filtering/searching photos (as a replacement of the `advanced search`)
(I noted it in German - sorry, I'm not used to write in English...)
The goal is, to use the same Tag-structure to tag photos and also to filter them (most likely as you could do that with PSE 9 ) .
I don't want this `advanced search` window, that takes a lot of space - I want to see my photos, not a hug program border... ;-) )
What's your opinion?
Regards
Thomas

Helllo Robert,
Thank you for your answer... ;-) - at least I'm not alone... ;-))
Well, if you only want to not to show up the `waste of space` - you can click on the ^ symbol most right in the top of the search area (next to the X symbol).
You can also put away tags from the filter by double klicking on them in the bar on the top of photos.
But you
- can not mix up AND/OR and NOT selections.
- can not enlarge the advanced search space to the whole screen - so, with many tags the selection of a specific tag is annoying
(since there are no optical differences like color and symbols as it does in the tags-tree)
How can we report that to adobe so they will enhance their product for us... ;-))
Regard
Thomas

Customizing the advanced search form (showing less parameters)

Hi,
can I customize the advanced search form in Portal, for
instance, to hide some parameters like "item attributes"
or "item types"?
I've read the thread at http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?
id=562712 where it shows how to write a custom advanced search,
but that requires some programming efort. are there any easier
alternative?
many thanks.

You could try to cpoy the HTML source of the advanced search
page, copy it in a HTML-portlet or dynamic page, and remove the
fields you don't want to show.
I had succes this way with the search portlet and add_groups
portlet, didn't try the advanced search page though.

Advanced Search in Apple Mail with Logical Expressions (Attibutes)

We need to be able to search in Apple Mail, currently version 3.6 (936), with advanced expressions such as the junk mail flag.
We want to search only within mail flagged as junk with a specific domain, such as a domain.com. Users are not using Junk Mail moving to junk folders yet. All junk is in the inbox until they train the rules.
Logically speaking this would look something like, FLAG:JUNK FROM:Yahoo.com. I have been unable to find the attribute for flag. It would also be helpful if there was a listing of all attributes that can be searched within mail. This type of list is available through various sources for Spotlight.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Many thanks for the kind reply. I finally installed Thunderbird and so far everything is good. Time Machine would, were I using the laptop in a more traditional setting, help resolve this issue. However I am prepping for a year + back pack trip to South America and elsewhere and the MacBook Pro is going along. What I have done is install Time Machine Editor (since Time Machine is parsimonious about daily updates) and update now once a week. Better than nothing and given what my schedule on the road may be like its a better fit than once a day. One would think Apple would make Time Machine more controllable particularly in the versions of OSX that are installed in laptops.....
In any case this is my first MacBook Pro and my first Apple computer but I am a long time Linux/Unix user so feel right at home with OSX. In spite of the mail problem, this is without a doubt the best laptop I ve ever used....and I ve been using them since they were suitcases
Regards and many thanks for the kind read and reply.

How can i manual create a "advance search"?

There is a poplist in the page, and a named "Add" submitButton beside it.
When I click the "Add" button.
I need to create a Bean which is named from the text which is selected in the poplist.
Now, I have two problems:
1.I select a text from poplist, then click the "Add" button. At the first time, I use to setForwardURLToCurrentPage() to create a new Bean. But at the next time, no matter which I select any text from poplist, I only get the text which is selected at the first time. The poplist and "Add" button in one MessageCompontentLayout, and the other compontents (consist of creating new Bean) in the other MessageCompontentLayout.
2.when I create a new Bean, how can I save the Bean which I have created it at previous time.
This function just likes "Advance Search".
waiting for your help. thank you in advance.

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.

This is a question about the iTunes Store. I have the correct artist, title, composer, and album name for a song popular in the 1970's. The store's Advanced Search feature can't find any of the information. How can I get Search to find the song I seek?

What can I try if the store's Advanced Search strikes out trying to find the song I want?

Perhaps the song is not available in MP3 format, or isn't available in the iTunes Store, or simply not available in your country. (A Norwegian band's first album from the 1980s became available in MP3 format only in April 2012; an example that not everything is automatically is available in MP3 as soon as possible.)
... and before any wag says, or even thinks "it", yes - the Norwegian band's album is very good! (Still waiting for their second album, from 1982, though!)
You may be surprised at how often a song or album is not available because of "contractual problems" - in other words, someone's being greedy, difficult, or both. (Another album I like, from a UK band of the 70's, was unavailable for a long time because - and I'm quoting the band's leader - "the copyright owner wanted too much money for the album to be on CD.")
You could try looking for the song in other stores. If it's not yet available anyhwere, you'll just have to be patient. You could try contacting the band via any websites they have, and asking them about it's availability. What's the song? Perhaps I (or soemoen else) might be able to confirm it's availability on MP3 from another source.

I just caught a thing called nation advanced search on my iMac computer, which I think is a spyware. When I want wo go to google chrome it redirects me to this ominous nation search engeen. Has anybody got some information about it and how I can get rid of it? What does can it do to my data and is it really a spyware? I just found information in youtube, that it is a spyware, and that it has to be removed, but the information they give for the removal is just working for PCs not for Macs.
Please help!

Thank you all for the friendly assistance provided.
I have found a solutiton to the problem I was having. I hope that many more can benefit from the information I will provide.
I started at Finder, then went to GO selected COMPUTER and then Machintosh HD, then Library, Scripting Additions folder and trashed all that was there. This is what worked for me, if you choose to not delete your content its up to you. Happy Computing.

Advanced Search - Can't understsand strange results

Hi,
I am trying to get my head around what seem to be very odd search results within Portal when using the advanced Search. When I search using a phrase, say
'the quick brown fox'
I receive the target page (which contains the text 'the quick brown fox') as the first and only result. That is exactly what I want to happen. However, if I omit single quotes and search for
the quick brown fox
I receive lots of results, and the target page I hoped to have returned wasn't even on the list. I am searching with the 'contains all' option. I presume the pages returned contained one or more of the search terms, but I was under the impression the second search automatically searched for the conjunction of all words, and the fact that 'contains all' is selected would suggest to me that my initial search result should be returned even if I use the second search criteria.
Can anyone explain this strange behaviour?
Thanks.

After installing MountainLion I can't search for mails in Mail

Hi all, after installing Mountain Lion this february I can't search for mails in mail before 2014! But the mails are all there, I can scroll down till 2011 ;-) Its only the search who killed himselfe after upgrading from Snow Leopard.
When I search for a word via Spotlight, it finds all old emails!
Whats wrong with my Mail.app?
Thx

After reading A LOT of postings about this topic, I found my personal solution Because this problem started after upgrading to a new OSX, I mentioned that it must be something with rights permission. So I went on
User/Library/Mail right click -> Informations. Look down where you can see which groups has access, read/write. I went on the small wheel to change, set in my password, went on my user name, changed from "read&write" to "just read", switched back, marked "to all subfolders", then OSX asking if I really wanna do this -> yes. Waiting. Finished.
Now I see all my mails when I search inside the Mail.app.
Schnell und einfach ;-) Besten Dank
