Can't perform wildcard searches

Hello world,
We're using Portal 3.0.9.8.1 with Patch 1949492 installed. This is on 8.1.7.2.4 SE Database.
When performing a search, cannot include wildcards. E.g. a search for 'test' returns only the exact word 'test'. It does not return 'testing','tester','test1','detests'.
This is against what Portal's Own Help file states. Click 'Search Tips' on the 'Advanced Search Page' and you are told the following:
The % character is interpreted literally, so do not include it as a wildcard. If you enter 100% as your search term, search finds content that contains the text 100%, not 1000 or 10000. Wildcards are automatically added to the beginning and end of your search term, so searching for 100 will automatically return content that contains 1000 and 10000.
If interMedia is installed and enabled, search automatically uses the stem operator to search for words that have the same linguistic root as the specified word. For example, if you specified the word lift, the search feature will return content that contains the words lift, lifting, lifted, etc.
Both of these statements are blatantly untrue as it does neither.
Any thoughts Oracle? Has anyone else managed a wildcard search?
Frustrated
Dave

I've just verified in 3.0.9 and wildcards are applied as specified in the documentation, when Text is not enabled. If your search term is 'test' then the SQL query will have the search term %test%. Literal % signs in your search term are escaped, so that if your search term was test% then the query would be for %test^%% escape ^.
There are a few things to remember. When searching WITHOUT Intermedia Text enabled the search will only match terms in the title and description of the item.
When, Intermedia Text is enabled, all of the content will be searched. However, as indicated in the documentation, the stem operator will be used. So if you search for 'test' the query is now a Text contains('$test') type query. The default operator is the '$' stem operator, which match terms that have the same linguistic root. So if your search term is 'test' it should match 'tests' or 'testing' or 'tested'. However, it will not match 'test1'. Please refer to the Intermedia Text documenation for more information on the stem operator and Text searching in general.

How can i perform a search on my external hard drive on my mac pro os x 10.9.2 ?

how can i perform a search on my external hard drive on my mac pro os x 10.9.2 ?

Mac OS X 10.9.2 is 12 years newer than 9.2.x. You need to make sure that Spotlight has indexed the external hard drive by adding it and removing it from Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy. Check the menu for it:
to determine if indexing is still going on, as it will say indexing.
Alternatively, you can use a non-Spotlight tool, such as:
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware/ - EasyFind
http://www.osxbytes.com/ - iFileX (note the MacUpdate link provided on osxbytes page has a Malware advertisement for MacKeeper, do not download).
http://www.barebones.com/ Textwrangler has a Search file for content, which works on any Text file.

How can I perform LDAP searches in BPEL?

Hello,
I'm trying to search an LDAP directory from a BPEL process.
There is a "ldap:search" XPath extension which appears to do this, but how do I specify which server to use. Just calling this function in an Assign produces an error message referring to a file called "directories.xml". Can anyone tell me what format this file should have (or how I automatically generate it)? I can't see it mentioned anywhere in the documentation.
Thanks for your help.

Did you ever get to know the location of this file?-directories.xml?

Wildcard Search on Set

Hi
I am trying to iterate through a Set and output all values that matches a partuclar string or subsrting.
e.g. if create a Set and insert the following values:
Set<String> alf = new HashSet<String>();
alf.add("abc.cde.fgh.ijk");
alf.add("abc.zxy.fgh.ijk");
alf.add("abc.pqs.tws.ijk");I am tring to display the above values (example) based on a wildcard search e.g:
If I search for:
abc.?.?.ijk
I will get an output containing the above results, (? implies matach any).
abc.cde.fgh.ijk
abc.zxy.fgh.ijk;
abc.pqs.tws.ijk
Thanks

I am looking for clear and solid example of how to achive the following.
For example:
I have the following ip's in a Set:
111.112.113.114;
112.113.114.114;
111.112.113.115The values are all consistant IP format.
now when I search for say *.112.113.* through the standard inputI want to get back:
111.112.113.114
111.112.113.115 e..g match the 2nd and 3rd octets and perform wildcard search on 1st and 4th octets
and
*.*.*.* <-- will output all IP addresses
* = wildcardThanks

Hi Lemon,
For your issue, it can be caused by that a keyword matches more words than the allowed maximum of 10000 words in a wildcard search. You can overcome the 10000 default search results limit as below:

Wildcard Search

Can anyone tell me if the (?) is standard wildcard search functionality in ISU. The glossary gives the following description, however this does not seem to be funtionong in our system. Maybe it's something we can flip a swith on.
SAP's Definition of "Wildcard Search"
A search using * to replace any string of characters and ? to replace any single character in a word.
Thanks
Lisa

One of my users had asked about using the ? wildcard to replace a single character when performing a search.
When we looked up the information in the glossary, the definition led us to think that this was an option in SAP. We had not been using this functionality and wanted to know if it was standard functionality, and maybe we just needed to activate it.
So thank you for the response, I can now inform my user that this is not standard SAP, and is not available, unless we make a change to the code.
Cheers
Lisa

Wildcard search of .so to load/run

Hi all,
I'm trying to write an diagnostic tool for work to run through some debugging diagnostic steps on the target system. It's quite simple idea in that on execution it will gather silicon, system information, read fuses, registers, bootstraps, run basic read/writes to flash/storage, toogle gpios, dump etc. The tool will also run through security api calls, open/close sec devices, calling and testing encrypting/decrypting APIs and testing different drm api calls. However I don't want the main tool to have knowledge of these security api calls, i would like to be able to have helper .so's with knowledge of specific drm api in their corresponding helper .so.
So ideally the tool should somehow dynamically load them by way of a wildcard search of all the helpers .so and execute each as it finds them. I know with dynamically linking in sharedlibs, on execution, if it can't find the specific file a program would error out with message like "libcrypto.so.0.1 doesn't exist" or something like that, which i don't want to happen, I want the tool to continue and execute the rest of the diagnostic tests. The tool should be able to dynamically search and execute whichever .so's that it recognizes and can find since I might have 5 different helper .so for different drm technologies but at any given time they might not exist within the filesystem due to licensing issues for different vendors. Is there a way to do this?

You can use the dl... C functions to load dynamic libraries at runtime. The dynamic loader does this for you when the program starts up but you can do it yourself. For example, in your shared library plugins, you could have common symbols (exported functions) for initializing, performing the test, checking the results, etc. The plugins would themselves link to the required libraries. These third-party libraries would then be loaded and linked automatically. You can set an RPATH in your main program to the plugin directory or use file access functions to search for them and pass absolute paths to dlopen. Or something like that.
dlopen, dlsym, dlerror, dlclose are the C functions you need to load libraries. I found think link on google: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux … index.html. You can use functions like glob and opendir to search for plugin files. glob uses wildcards. I'm assuming you're using C.

Wildcard Search requirement for Items description and BP Name

Hi Friends,
I want to know is there any feature in Item Master data or Business Partner Master Data in which search is done by putting middle or last name. For example the Item Name is Electric Motar 345 Gear
and when the user wants to search it by say Motar 345 then all items which inclused Motar 345 should come highlighted.
Same for BP also its required as BP name is Glem Tex Japan Pvt Limited and now user wants to search the BP by say Tex Japan and all BP which includes the word Tex Japan should come.
Is there any possibilities by which this can be achieved. Its somewhat wildcard search required. I heared its possible in B1.
Regards,
Kamlesh Gupta

Dear Sridharan,
I have exactly put the same as 'Motar 345 after Opening the Item Master Data and in find mode pressed * Enter and put the above in Find and selected Item Description. But sorry to say that nothing is coming and the cursor goes in the last item master data.
What might be the problem can you please tell me.

I perform a search, get results, find the message I was after. How do I locate this message within my (relatively) complex folder and subfolder structure?

Hi,
I use structured subfolder system to keep my emails organized (hundreds and hundreds of folders).
When I perform a search, get a list of results and within this list I find the email I was after, HOW do I locate the message? In other words, how can I open the folder which contains that particular email?
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

Not a perfect solution but maybe a workaround.

Can I create a Search within one topic?

Here is my challenge:
(1) Building WebHelp for a web-based data application in 8.0.2.208 (I also have one member working on 5.0.1)
(2) The web-based data application has 1530 data definitions
(3) The Product Manager would like the ability to perform a search for a data defintion by allowing the user to enter text and then initiating a search specific to the list of data definitions and not including the entire application help (i.e., a search on one topic or a collection of topics)
Not sure if this is possible. I would like to:
(1) Have one primary topic with the name of every data definition in the application (again 1530 of them)
(2) Have an entry field where the user types part of the data definition name and allow them to click a button to initiate the search
(3) Put the user at the first item that matches their search
(4) Each item would be a hyperlink to the actual data definition - OR - have all data definitions on one page (YIKES)
--- OR ---
(1) Have a collection of topics with data defintions
(2) Allow the user to enter search criteria and limit the results to the collection of topics related to the data definitions
Is there an "in topic search control" or a search control that can be limited to one topic or a collection of topics?
I have looked at setting up a form with a form field/text field and command button but I cannot find any substantive documentation on how this works or what I need to get it to work.
Any suggestions? As always, thanks for any input.

Two last things:
(1) In the Skins setup, I had to add the "Search.html" in the skin to the "ZoomSearch" button using Links and not Advanced. Having it in Advanced did not open the Search form in my help. When I clicked the ZoomSearch menu bar item, it just flashed and did not open the ZoomSearch search topic.
(2) I got the search processing to work in my project, but at some point it stops working. The search topic displays when I click ZoomSearch and results are shown but when I click the link to go to the page listed in the results, I get the standard "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page".
When I look at the link it has:
file:///C:/Research/SearchProcessing/!SSL!/HPI_Change_Metrics.htm
It should have:
file:///C:/Research/SearchProcessing/!SSL!/WebHelp/HPI_Change_Metrics.htm
All I did was re-compile the WebHelp, re-publish the WebHelp, regenerate the search index and repost the 5 Search related files into my WebHelp folder (in the search_files folder). Any idea why it would not have the "WebHelp" included in the path?
As always, thanks --

The google feeling lucky app from the address bar is not working, a program called vshare performs a search instead and I am unable to restore the original function. please help

I do not know how but vshare, has been performing a search everytime I type something in the address bar that is not a complete website i.e. facebook instead of facebook.com
this is very annoying and I am unable to uninstall vshare, I have even tried uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it

I had this problem too, and just fixed it, and found a great website that helped.
1. In Firefox type about:config in the address bar and press ENTER.
2. Locate and double-click the entry for keyword.URL
3. Set the value based on which search provider you would like to use for your address bar searches. Here are a few search strings you can use.
Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=
Ask: http://www.ask.com/web?q=
Google: http://www.google.com/search?&q=
ChaCha: http://search.chacha.com/search/query?searchwithguide=0&query=
source: http://www.technipages.com/firefox-change-address-bar-search-provider.html
And if you want the I'm Feeling Lucky search, instead of just the Google page search, then put:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
instead of: http://www.google.com/search?&q=
I just did that, and it worked for me. I had to go through a bunch of the different options, but I found one that worked.

SharePoint 2013 Online - Default Wildcard Search

Is there a way I can change SP to always append a * to the end of every search?
We're using the Online version (tied in with O365), and it has been requested that we have every search be a wildcard search by default. I found walkthroughs for SharePoint 2010, but the interface and menus have changed in 2013.

You can edit the Search Results Web Part. Then from the web part properties, click on Change Query.
Now in the popup modal window, click on "Advanced Mode".
In Query text, you can use {SearchBoxQuery}*

Wildcard searches for WBS element

HI Experts,
Can anyone give a example prgm for wildcard searches to WBS element LIPS-PS_PSR_PNR field.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is standard system behaviour. Purchase requisitions generated by MRP do not add to commitment. However, when these PRs are converted into POs, the POs add to commitment. Purchase requitions genertaed directly from PS, without the intervention of MRP always add to commitments.

How to do wildcard search?

Does anyone know I can do wildcard search like *.jpg or my**.jpg? And yes, don't tell me to use the Terminal and copy and paste path.

Spotlight searches are pretty much wildcard searches, you just don't need the wildcards.
However, if you want to do it, look at a Raw Query. This post shows some of its capabilities using the Terminal command mdfind, but you can use a Raw Query in the Finder and he talks about how to select that from the criteria menu.
http://blog.scottlowe.org/2012/07/25/advanced-spotlight-queries-in-the-mac-gui/
With a Raw Query, you don't use the mdfind command, but the rest of the search is entered into the Find window.
Also, see here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/carbon/conceptual/spotligh tquery/concepts/queryformat.html
