What setting do I need to change to have a search result file (pdf. or whatever) open instead of automatically download?

Firefox downloads files automatically when opening a opening a search result. What setting do I need to change to have the search result file (pdf. or whatever) open instead? Something changed yesterday and I lost the ability to open the files vs. download.

Hello,
Normally, when I use my online account, when i select a document to open with excel or with adobe, the applicaiton installed on the PC, is used to open the files.
Can you check the under control panel, default programs, and see what program is associated to the PDF files?
When you try to open one of those pdf files from your back, what happens?
If you download them to the HDD, are they automatically associated to ADOBE?
Thanks,

How do I change color of hyperlink search results in WebHelp Pro?

I'm trying to figure out how to change the color of search result hyperlinks when using WebHelp Pro in RH8. The links currently are vibrant blue and purple after clicked on. I can't find anywhere in the style sheet or in the skin editor options to define this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In your .css file, use something like the following; the "A:" would be your default link, and the "A.topic:" would be a different class of link (we use it for some in-topic navigation links). Note that the order in which the qualifiers appear is important. Follow the LoVeHate method (Link, Visited, Hover).
Feel free to try it and use your own combinations (you might not want the expanded letter-spacing, for example). We also reversed the underline format from the default html (none for link and visited, underline for hover).
A:link,
A:visited {
color: #0000CD;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: none;
A:hover {
color: #000080;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: underline;
You would add the class=topic qualifier to your links for this class of link (a class=topic href="targettopic.htm")
A.topic:link,
A.topic:visited {
color: #0000CD;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 0pt;
margin-bottom: 0pt;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
text-decoration: none;
A.topic:hover {
color: #000080;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: 0.25pt;
margin-top: 0pt;
margin-bottom: 0pt;
margin-left: 10px;
text-decoration: underline;
Good luck,

Change the colour of search result highlight?

Hi i am wondering 2 things. Firstly, why the default colour that a search result is highlighted in is a strange medium-dark blue, and secondly why there is no option to change it.
Its really hard to see any search result on almost any document, and its common knowledge that almost all documents in general have black text.
I thought the main purpose of any search tool anywhere in the world was to save time trying to find a word amongst hundreds or thousands of other words.
I guess adobe with their millions of dollars and experienced team weren't able to think of this.

Click calendars at the bottom of the page the click on the i symbol for info and then you can select the colour you'd like.

The way SharePoint open office documents will differ if the user try to open them from the document library directly, or if users try to open the document from the search result page.

I have a document library where I have uploaded an excel sheet to it. Now If I click on the excel sheet directly from the document library page , I will get the following error ““The webpage cannot be displayed””. While if I do a search and I open the excel
sheet from the search result page , it will open the excel sheet using the excel services inside the browser !!.
So can anyone advice on this ?
Also if I have a PowerPoint document , and I try to open it from the document library I will get the following error “The webpage cannot be displayed” , and the URL will be prefix with the following “ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|”. while if i do a search and i open
the PowerPoint from the search result page i will be prompted to either open or save the document ? So why SharePoint is reacting totally different when trying to open document library items from the document library Or from the search result page?

Hi,
The behavior in the document library could be probably because of the Documents handling setting. Please try setting it to default behavior (Open in browser) as i hear from you that the default behavior is to open from browser.
Thanks, Suneetha
Currently I have set the following;-
1. On the library advance setting :- I define “Open in the client application”
2. On the web application setting:- I define stricked for Browser File Handling
And I have noted if I delete the browser cache and I access the document , then I will be prompted with the download dialog. but if I re-click on the same document I will be redirected to the
The webpage cannot be displayed
And the ms-powerpoint:ofv|u| will be added to the beginning of the URL. So could this be a caching problem ?

Retrieving the Full Path of the Document / Folder in Search results

Hello,
We have a custom portlet to perform search in knowledge directory. We are able to retrieve the results from knowledge directory and would like to know on one enhancement feature.
Would like to know if it is possible to retrieve the directory structure / path of the document / folder. Something like "\Knowledge Directory\Customer Service\...." I have seen this path come up in search results when using Portal Admin. Not sure if it is available when using the idk.dll
Below is a sample code in C#. Would you know if there is a way I can retrieve the directory strcuture. If so, what method would give me that value? I tried GetURL, but that gives me the URL of the document http://portal/.....as compared to the path.
=====
using Plumtree.Remote.Portlet;
using Plumtree.Remote.PRC;
using Plumtree.Remote.PRC.Search;
//Establishing Session with Portal
IRemoteSession session = RemoteSessionFactory.GetExplicitLoginContext(new Uri(portletPortalAPIPref), username, password);
ISearchFactory searchFactory = session.GetSearchFactory();
searchRequest = searchFactory.CreatePortalSearchRequest();
searchRequest.SetQuery(txtSearchText.Text);
            //Setting up the Search Parameters – Objects to Search, Order By, Number of Results
ObjectClass[] objectTypes = { ObjectClass.Document, ObjectClass.DocumentFolder };
searchRequest.SetObjectTypesToSearch(objectTypes);
   searchRequest.SetResultsOrderBy(PlumtreeField.NAME);
   searchRequest.SetOrderAscending(true);
searchRequest.SetResultsCount(0, RecordCount);
//Executing the Search
searchResponse = searchRequest.Execute();
resultSet = searchResponse.GetResultSet();
//iterate through the results
IEnumerator resultsfolder = resultSet.GetResults();
while (resultsfolder.MoveNext())
                    IPortalSearchResult result = (IPortalSearchResult)resultsfolder.Current;
Convert.ToString(result.GetRank() + 1);
result.GetIconURL().ToString();
result.GetURL().ToString();
result.GetName().ToString();
result.GetExcerpt().ToString();
result.GetLastModified().ToString();
result.GetClassID().ToString();
result.GetObjectID().ToString();

Have you tried getting the extended data and the Parent Folder ID. (Plumtree.Remote.PRC.IExtendedData)
Using an additional object search to get the Path for the Parent Folder ID.
Here is a snippet that may help
Plumtree.Remote.PRC.IObjectManager objectManager = session.GetObjectManager(Plumtree.Remote.PRC.ObjectClass.<your class to return>);
Plumtree.Remote.PRC.IObjectQueryRow qResults = objectManager.QuerySingleObject(<id of object to return>);
if (qResults != null)
    Plumtree.Remote.PRC.IExtendedData ied = qResults.GetExtendedData();
    if (ied != null)
       sResult = ied.GetStringValue(<property you want to return>);

Change default ordering for search results?

Hi,
I have just switched to using Mail.
It seems the search results are always ordered by rank as default, but usually I have some intuition about when the message was sent so for me it would be great if there was a way to have results ordered by date by default. Is this possible, perhaps with a plugin or applicescript?
Thanks

If you enable highlighting, the box the end user has is selected by default and you cannot change that. If you want that option added in a future version, submit a feature request.

Change Document Icons

For some reason all of my web related files (html, php, css) have all had there icons changed when viewing from dialog boxes. In the finder they look fine but in other applications and dialog boxes they have all changed to Adobe GoLive style icons.
GoLive has not been recently changed and its not my default application for these file type - BBEdit is.
Does anyone know of a quick fix to get my icons changed back to the BBEdit style or the original Mac OS X style.
Thanks

Hi Mike:
I might be telling you to chase rainbows.
I am running OS X 10.6, so there may be a disconnect.
However, when I open my document folder, the folders are blue, but individual documents are a white icon with something like doc at the bottom. I consider this "normal," but we may be talking about different things...

Change the number of search results per page

Hello Guru's
In the PC UI when you have searched for e.g. a Business Partner and their 20 results. The results are shown as 5 per page.
Does anyone knows if this number is changeble? I want to see 10 results per page.
Thanks in advance!
Joost Goduriaan

This can be donw through blueprint table configuration change.This change can be done in 2 ways, one is at blueprint application level and other one is through user personalization.
If you change it at blueprint table application level it effects other users also who uses this application.
To do this go to CRMC_BLKUEPRINT -> Application Element -> FieldGroup,under this select ACC_SRES_01_V1 and scroll towards right to see the property No Lines SRES.
This value determines the no of lines on a result list page.
Second change could be done on PCUI application in the browser after launching it.Click the settings hypher link next to Advanced Search Button,there you see the setting for it.Change it to personalize the application layout per user.
Thanks,
Thirumala.

Change document icons during Document Refresh

I'm working with a custom crawler, and one of the things I do is give the document a special (a.k.a "non-default") icon based on one of the property values. During the document refresh, if this property value has changed I would like the icon to change accordingly. It's not working this way right now, though. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could make this happen? In the 4.5 world I just ran a script against the database and changed it that way, but I would like to find a more elegant solution. Thanks!

1. SPD cannot do what you want OOTB.
2. You need to code.
3. You can code inside the workflow to set the permissions you want at the end of the approval process or you can code it as an eventhandler outside the workflow process. Assuming that you are using SPD, that means creating a 'custom activity' to be called by your SPD workflow.
4. You can find code for setting 'item level permissions' and the way to create 'custom activity' on the net.

Search results not returning file names correctly

Have an onsite SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise that contains a number of documents in a document library all containing the word "south" in their title. When a search is run with the keyword "south" all 3 files are shown in the results but only one displays
the correct title. The other 2 display alternate text (in this case the company name). The links all 3 results are correct, however the title of results is incorrect for 2 out of the 3.
I have duplicated these results using Office 365 and another on site SharePoint 2010 server.
I have duplicated these results converting the documents to DOCX format under Word 2007 and Word 2010.
Obviously, this is an issue with the files, however any ideas where to start looking to uncover where the SharePoint Server is pulling the information from?
In the end I need all 3 results to display the current name of the files it finds, not simply some random text with the files from 2 out of 3 of the results.
Thanks

Could it be because of this?
Pasted from here:
http://bpostutor.com/post/Hidden-SharePoint-2010-Feature-Changes-Document-Titles-in-Search-Results.aspx
Hidden SharePoint 2010 Feature Changes Document Titles in Search Results
SharePoint 2010 has a interesting feature which you may not know about. It's called Optimistic Title. It's part of the Office Search engine within SharePoint. What it does is determine a new, hopefully more relevant title for your documents
to be displayed in your search results based on document properties or the actual contents of the document (i.e. Text within the file). As you might expect this is closely tied to the Office document formats such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote,
and Visio. Your end users may report that the titles that they see for search results differ greatly from the file name or the actual title of the document. This is particularly evident with PowerPoint files where the name of the first slide
is often used. The behavior is not entirely predictable. Different results can be expected from Office 2007 and Office 2010 created files and even those created in earlier versions of Microsoft Office.
If you want to change this functionality you need to actually go and edit the registry on your Search role server(s) within your SharePoint farm, restart the osearch14 service and then do a full crawl. The key you want to modify is the EnableOptimisticTitleOverride.
The default setting is 1. Change it to 0 to disable the feature.

SEARCH RESULTS NOT SHOWING THE NAME OF DOCUMENT

When I search for a document on the top level, the results in my case are relevant but they do not display the document name, meaning I have to go into the document to check if it is the one I'm looking for. For some reason the name of the file is displayed
in results as the first line of the document. I use a document template for letters meaning that the search results gives as list of documents that all have the same name displayed. This renders the search function almost useless as all the results are showing
the same name. Is there a way to change the results page to display the name of the document??

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to show search results by document name instead of the Title.
Here are two links about how to show document name in search results, you can use as a reference:
