Cannot search EAC by Display Name - Must search by Alias

My company is slowly migrating users from E2k7 to E2k13.
We have noticed on several occasions that room resources that are on E2k13 can only be found in EAC when we search by their Alias. We absolutely cannot search by a display name.
However on some rooms we can search by the display name.
Any known issue here? Or anyone experience this?

Hi Johnny,
We can search the rooms by using Alias, if they also working well, then it seems the migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 complete successfully.
Did someone rename the display names? It needs some time to cover the modification.
Please also get mailbox via display names to verify whether we input the correct display names.
Command as below:
Get-Mailbox DisplayName
If everything going well except the "searching via display name on some users", I suggest intalling the CU3 or SP1. The Exchange 2013 SP1 will release in a short time later.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

Using alternative display names on one email alias

Sometimes I'd like send email using one display name (ie "Mr. Happy") and sometimes with another ("Mr. and Mrs. Very Happy"), both using the same email account. Is there a way to set that up without creating a duplicate account? Thought I'd seen a reference, but can't find it now...

Thank you. This is great help-it's got me looking in the right direction.
I have not been managing aliases, so I'm wondering how to load the db and edit it. This is my first mail server and my first email setup for osx so I'm a newbie.
I've found the following resources:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man1/postalia s.1.html
and
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man5/aliases. 5.html#//apple_ref/doc/man/5/aliases
But I'm a little lost as to how to edit the configuration file, and I'm a bit lost on where it is. I've found a file titled "aliases.db" within the /etc folder that I have opened with a text editor. It lists some of the email addresses in my company, but there's also some garbled information in it. So I believe this is the file I would need to edit, but I'm not sure.
Can you please give me a little more help as to how to edit this file and reload it? I really appreciate it.

Why can't I search/filter on display names?

See Question. Yes, it's 'display names', so I guess you can only see them on the display while thunderbird pretends to not know them really.
Still this is a less useful non-feature which annoys me a lot.

Display name:
is useful in identifying emails from specific people like family and friends.
It is more informal.
The shortened format means the 'From' column header does not need to be so wide - especially if these emails have been filtered to suitable folders.
for example: it is more user friendly to see FROM Mum instead of the long email address and many peopke do not always send emails showing their name.
However, like many things, you are not obligued to use it in the contact properties.
Regarding searching:
It depends upon how you are doing it. there are different search methods and each will search in a slightly different way.
If using 'Quick Filter Bar' then it does not search on Display name as those options are not available. It searches on Sender , Recipient, Subject and Body. But if the display name happens to be used in the body content then it will display.
If using global search then it does search on a display name.
Enter the display name in the search eg: Mum and select the Mum and email address option from the drop down offered.
It will show display name and email address, so you can select the search parameters.
If using this method:
Edit > Find > Search messages
This method searches on specific fields/headers and therefore will not search on a display name.
So I would recommend you try using the global search option if searching by a specific display name.

Bundle search by display name

I'm using ZCM bundle in Israel and my Display name of the bundles are in Hebrew but the bundle name is in English.

I have an annoying but useful data gathering process -- I dump out all the
bundle info to XML files (the process automatically puts the data into a folder
structure following that in ZCC) and then use FINDSTR to locate any bundles
having a given reference.
It's hokey but it has saved me huge headaches at times, like when we had to
switch all the assigned folder-rights changes in actions from "Domain Users" to
"Authenticated Users".
This is from ~2000 bundles, so checking each one via ZCC would be impossible.

Results Priority - Search Display Name 1st

Hi,
I've set up a custom search which works great, apart from one thing - It seems to be giving priority to word 'hits' in the document items before the display name.
For example
When searching for 'Asset' I get the following results:
Accommodation Provider Payment Form - 100%
Asset Inventory Form - 20%
Asset Inventory Transfer Form - 11%
Accommodation is picked out 1st as it contains several occurences of 'asset'. I would like the search to give preference to 'Display Name' 1st, then the document body text. Is there any way I can do this?
Thanks.

You need to add the "exe" file extension to the list of file types that need to be included in the search index. You can do this on the File Types page of the Search Administration (Central Administration).
Go to you Search Service Application and under the Crawling section you find a link called
File Types. At the top of the page click on New file type and add the "exe" file extension. Once that is done, restart your search service and do a full crawl.

Sharepoint PeoplePicker cannot search account on 2nd Domain with 2 way trust

Hi all,
   I have run into this issue for 2 days, and cannot figure out why.
   We have 3 different Sharepoint environments, and we have two-way trust between 1st and 2nd domain.
   But, one of the environments cannot search 2nd domain in PeoplePicker.
   However, the other two environments didn't require any configuration to be able to search ppl on the 2nd domain.
   Is there anyone know what happened on the specific environment?
   P.S. That specific environment has two servers in the farm, and one of them can search the 2nd domain in PeoplePicker, but the other one cannot.
   Any idea? Thank you.
James

Hi,
The issue usually occurs due to invalid trusts between different forests or the incorrect property set using stsadm. By default the people picker would search for users from same forest as that of the SharePoint server. If want to find the users from other domain, you need to use stsadm to set “peoplepicker-searchadforests” of the people picker.
If the new domain is in the same forest as the domain in SharePoint server, try to run the command line: stsadm -o setproperty. If the two domains are not in the same forest, you must run the setapppassword operation, and then run the peoplepicker-searchadforests property
For more information, please refer to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263460.aspx
Let me know the result.

My Adress Book shows strange behavior, cannot search or edit

Hi folks!
I recently updated to Lion, also switched my .me to iCloud. At first everything was perfect, now I am experiencing strange behaviours:
I am starting to add fotos to my contacts because I like the view in Mail.app where the contact fotos are shown in the list of emails. After I added some more photos I cannot search in the address book anymore. Typing a name into the search field and nothing happens. Also clicking on a name an nothing happens on the right side. Absolutely nothing. There's only one entry that does not change and when hitting the "edit" Button, only this one contact is changed. Also this one contact changes when doing a right click on a contact name on the left side.
I did some searches here but did not find anything. What I did was deleting the "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ Folder as suggested in some other threads but this does not change anything.
This is really annoying and I cannot use my Address Book which I really need. I have more than 2000 contacts inside and it's essential for my business!
Please help!
Thanks and best, Jochen

OK, seems like I can replicate the behaviour:
- repair Disk Permissions
- restart MBP (do not open all apps again)
- after reboot, only the Finder is open
- open Address Book
- click on contact name on the left side, brings details on the right, editing works also -> great!
- click in the search field and type a name
-> no filter of the list or search result appears
- click on any contact left hand side, nothing happens on the right, the last clicked contact before the search remains open
- double click on contact name opens separate window as expected
- no search possible anymore
- no editing possible anymore
-> again repair permissions, and restart and same procedure ...
this is Adress Book 6.1 (1062) on MacBook Pro 17'' with 10.7.2

Cannot search PDF file contents - Windows 7 32 bit - Adobe Acrobat X

Hello,
If this is in the wrong forum please move it.
I work in an enterprise environment and our systems are having trouble searching file contents in Windows Explorer using Acrobat X and Windows 7 32 bit. The files are on a mapped network location.
After removing all adobe products from a test machine and reinstalling the Acrobat 10.0.0 software the windows explorer search function seems to work locally but once I install Acrobat 10.1.anything update, it will fail. It never worked on a networked location.
I have also tried installing Adobe Acrobat 11.0.00 after removing 10.0. Then I made sure my indexing settings were setup to index files and contents and made sure the .pdf extension was selected under file types.
I then created a mapped drive to the network location, and setup my indexing to the folder on that network drive. I was able to do this by installing this Microsoft Add-in that allows use of UNC paths in the indexing.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=3383
Once I set this up, I rebuilt my index and restarted the computer. This is where it gets weird. I can now search the contents of PDF files in this indexed network location, but only by one letter. Searching "c type:pdf" will produce results, but "co type:pdf" will not. I know for sure some of the documents have the work Comment in there so this should should up.
Does anyone have experience getting this to work correctly with the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat X or XI and Windows 7 32 bit? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I will never understand why but in the end I rebuilt my 32 bit dell laptop from scratch and the pdf files can now be searched.
I cannot search them on a mapped drive as I was able to with Windows XP because now they must be indexed and windows 7 will seems not to allow a mapped location to be indexed which must be done to make the pdf files searchable so I have had to move the files to the local drive.
My Windows 7 64 bit systems can search the mapped drives just fine without needing to be indexed. Again I will never understand why this works and the 32 bit machine does not.

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
Thank you.

Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
is in embedded file.

I cannot search in firefox. I try to search with google and yahoo. The page never loads and I get "Problem Loading Page", "The Connection Has Timed Out". Can anyone please HELP??????!!!!!!!!!

I cannot search for ANYTHING, I cannot click on items listed in the yahoo search page (the top ten trending search items) the page just won't load!

Since I looked everywhere for this answer and never found it I decided I needed to help!
1. GO TO THE TOOL BAR WHERE IT SAYS SAFARI AND CLICK TO BRING DOWN THE MENU OF OPTIONS, CLICK ON PREFERENCES
2.INSTEAD OF JUST CLICKING ON THE GENERAL TAB AND CHANGING THE SEARCH ENGINE LIKE EVERY OTHER STUPID SUPPORT TELLS YOU TO DO LOOK AT THE TAB THAT SAYS EXTENSIONS.
3. Chances are you downloaded something that was made by a third party to "enhance" your web experience but really they just screwed you over, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SIMPLY UNINSTALL ANY EXTENSIONS PUT ON YOUR COMPUTER BY CLICKING INSTALL, BUT TO BE SURE THAT THIS IS THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEM IN THE SECOND COLUMN SIMPLY CLICK ON THE UNDERLINED NAME OF WHO THE EXTENSION IS MADE BY IF CLICKING THE LINK BRINGS UP A YAHOO PAGE THIS IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR ISSUES AND SIMPLY UNINSTALLING THIS WILL RID YOU OF THIS DUMB PROBLEM!!
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!

Cannot search for "@" symbol when using search function

I am trying to create a calculated column which extracts the domain part of an email address. My problem is that no type of search formula (SEARCH or FIND) seems to be able to recognise the "@" symbol so I get an error stating that
"The search TEXT provided to function 'SEARCH' could not be found in the given text"
Even more bizarre is that if I do just a general search in my table (CTRL + F from inside Powerpivot) it cannot find @ symbols either. Could someone please explain why PowerPivot cannot search for the @ symbol (I haven't tested others) and whether there
is a solution?
The formula I was trying to use was:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1, LEFT(A1,FIND("@",A1)),"")
Obviously with A1 replaced by the column name of where my email data is stored.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Both FIND() and SEARCH() should find the "@" in PowerPivot.
I have done it many times.
You probably have one row in your data set that doesn't contain "@". That will cause the error you describe and if one row in a Calculated Column causes an error, every row has an error if you do nothing to account for it.
Try wrapping your formula in an IFERROR([Your Formula], BLANK()).
This should allow it to run successfully on valid rows and will show a blank on any rows that are causing problems.
Once you identify the problem row (or rows) you can make a decision about how to deal with it.

I suddenly cannot search my Address Book (Contacts) in Mac Mail. Seems to be "stuck" on one contact

I suddenly cannot search my Mac Mail Contacts. Normally, when I type in a name, it immediately comes right up to that contact. Only way I can see a particular contact I want is to double click on that name. I want to be able to see it to the right of the list of all my contacts on the left. Thanks in advance for your help. I've tried quitting the application, but it's not helping. I've also checked and all my Software Updates are up to date.

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
Not exactly clear, but in Address Books tool bar, is Groups & Names shown, or just Names?

Cannot search messages after upgrading to iOS8!!!

After upgrading my iPhone5S to iOS8 yesterday, I noticed that it cannot search Messages for information. To be exact, it only searches messages that have been sent/received after the upgrade. It seems it hasn't cached older messages and keeps ignoring them when searching for something. Any help? Is it a bug?
iPhone 5S, iOS 8

I am having this same issue. I live in Korea and changing the language to Korean made the messages searchable, but when I changed back to English, the problem returned and I was unable to search all my messages via the search window in the messages app, but then, after about 5 minutes, the messages app crashed, and after that, the problem was resolved. Gotta sat that I'm so far unimpressed with ios 8; seemingly not ready for Primetime.

Cannot search messages after upgrading to iOS7!!!

After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS7 today, I noticed that it cannot search SMS Messages for information. To be exact, it only searches messages that have been sent/received after the upgrade. It seems it hasn't cached older messages and keeps ignoring them when searching for something. Any help? Is it a bug?

Same problem here with 4S updated to IOS 7 via OTA.
I have solved the problem by connecting the phone to Itunes, backing up, re-installing IOS7 and restoring from the backup.
Now everything is fine and all messages are indexed.
I hope this helps!
