Context search defaults to local country

Select part of a web page, right click it and "search Google for ....." appears.
This feature works perfectly when I am in the UK, but I travel and currently it searches Thailand version of Google - I want it to search the UK version of Google.
Is there any way to force Firefox to search Google.co.uk and not Google.com?
Using Windows XP - Firefox 8.0.1

The browser.search.selectedEngine pref determines which of the installed search engines to use for context search if it exists.<br />
Otherwise the default search engine as specified in browser.search.defaultenginename is used.<br />
If you do not have the browser.search.selectedEngine pref then you can create a new String pref with the name browser.search.selectedEngine and set the name to the preferred search engine.<br />
I see a browser.search.selectedEngine pref if I select a search engine that is different from the default search engine.
Do you have a Google.co.uk ((Google UK) search engine installed?
You can find search engines on the Mycroft Project website.

Can I default the right country code in Click-to-C...

When I use click to call and say "call number" I always get a +44 country code as default. How can I make +31 the default country code instead of always have to search through the list of all countries?
This would make it so much more userfriendly. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Windows 8.1
Desktop Skype client
Click to call

I'm also having the same issue which has only been since changing laptops. Previously I could click the phone number within Salesforce.com and it will call by putting the local country code +61. Now with the new laptop, when I click to call, it calls via +64 which isn't a default anywhere.
This hhas now made making calls with Skype via SFDC impossible

How to Change Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User

Hi,
In a webdynpro applicaiton, how to chage the Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User.
Consider for INDIA: mm/dd/yyyy
Consider for UK: yyyy/mm/dd
So when i select the date from the Date Picker[input ui element bound to date context variable], the date format should be displayed accroding the portal users country/locale.
Creating a simple type for every date format in the dictionary would not be the right solution.
Please help.
Thanks,

When i first created my itunes account it selected the local country i lived in, now i have changed countries and it does allow me to buy any apps as the credit card is not valid in that country. what do i do?

You will need to sign into your account using the iTunes app on your Mac or PC and change the region/country for your account. If you do not have a bank card for the new country, you should be able to make purchases with iTunes Gift Cards if they are available in the new country.

How can you expect the customer to have a LOCAL/COUNTRY Based Credit Card every where we go??? Last week I was on holiday in HK, and from my Hotel I was able to use m VN Credit Card with my Apple ID and purchase online! Why THIS WEEK, can't I use my HS

Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship. Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland. The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them. Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland. For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

Get Locale country and language codes

I have checked the documentation, but nothing is jumping out
at me. Is there a function that returns the locale country and
language codes? GetLocale() returns the "locale name as it is
represented in ColdFusion":
ie:
English (US)
Spanish (Standard)
What I am looking for is the
ISO
codes
en US
es ES
I can get the information using getPageContext(), but just
wondered if I was overlooking a built-in CF function.

...hmm this didn't go thru on the 16th. let me try again.
that should only be for the "traditional" cf supported
locales (backwards
compatibility is always foremost in the cf team's minds), the
rest should be in
normal java style locale ID (th_TH, ar_AE, etc).
no, there's nothing built-in in cf for what you want. you'll
have to dip down
into java:
<cfscript>
localeObj=createObject("java","java.util.Locale");
locales=localeObj.getAvailableLocales();
writeOutput("<table border='1'>");
writeOutput("<tr align='center'><td
colspan='2'>Locale</td><td>Language</td><td>Country</td></tr>");
for (i=1; i LTE arrayLen(locales);i=i+1) {
thisLocale=locales
thisLanguage=thisLocale.getLanguage();
thisCountry=thisLocale.getCountry();
writeOutput("<td>#thisLocale.toString()#</td><td>#thisLocale.getDisplayName()#</td><td>#t hisLanguage#</td><td>#thisCountry#</td></tr>");
writeOutput("</table>");
</cfscript>
note that this snippet doesn't show variants (eg. th_TH_TH)
& shows language
only locales (en, fr, etc.), nor is it sorted in any order i
can recognize. also
keep in mind that what this shows depends on the server's JRE
version. if you
want a "better" source of locales, use the icu4j lib's
ULocale class. it's based
on the latest CLDR & contains way more locales (and they
actually tend to fix
locale bugs in your lifetime).

Problem with context search in iFS

Hello , here is my problem with iFS.
We have installation of Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise edition with interMedia and iFS 1.1 on same server (Windows NT Server 4.0/512 RAM). During install everything went fine.
I had uploaded about 200 MB files in the iFS (pdf's and html's).
The problem is when I try to use context based search. If I search for file's name everything is fine, but when I search for a word that is in a file it almost immediately gives mi "0 file(s) found", and I'm sure that there are files that have that word in their body's.
What can be the problem?
Any sugestions will be in help.
Thanks in advance.

Documents's content is stored in the GLOBALINDEXEDBLOB column of the IFSSYS.ODMM_CONTENTSTORE table.
There is an text index GLOBALINDEXEDBLOB_I built on this column.
To make the context search possible just update this index using the following command in SQL*Plus:
SQL> exec ctx_ddl.sync_index('GLOBALINDEXEDBLOB_I');
If you want this index be updated automatically when new documents are uploaded/changed/deleted in iFS then start the ctxsrv utility on the computer where your Oracle database resides. To do this issue the following command in OS command line:
ctxsrv -user ctxsys/ctxpwd@db_alias
just replace here ctxpwd and db_alias with real values you specified during the installation.

Context search in compressed files

Is there any way of searching for content in compressed files?
For example: if I have five text files in a zip file (and this zip is in iFS), iFS is able to make a context search inside those text files? In our application, the context search works great, but we faced this problem with the zip's.
Thanks in advance,
Fabio.

Hi ,
We too have the same problem apart from peformance problem.Looks like iFS API's need lot of improvements.

HT2242 Is it possible to keep the local country but have it display in my language?

Is it possible to keep the local country but have it display in my language?
For example I live in Sweden but am English so would like to have the local setting still for Sweden but all text displayed as English.

Sorry but no, not if you're referring to the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store for Sweden displays only in Swedish; English is not an option.

Using Context searches in Discoverer

Is there a way to use context searches in Discoverer? Any documentation?
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have been developing Discoverer reports (using Customer Folders) where the data is retrieved from apps views (rather than from tables) but I am fairly new to Oracle Apps. I acknowledge (including the previous post) that the Apps views include the PL/SQL code to perform the Org Id checking.
I believe that the Organization Id is derived from the 'Responsibility', hence only the related data is retrieved. Therefore, I have not included any special code to check for Organization-specific data.
Can anyone tell me whether this assumption is correct? More importantly, how/where does the Responsibility define the Organisation or set the 'Client_info'?
In SQL*Plus or TOAD, I would run the following script to set the client_info before any data can be retrieved. My Org Id is 83.
begin
dbms_application_info.set_client_info('83');
end
Thanks, looking forward to an answer.
Regards,
John

ConText Search Option - Need Help

Hi,
I am wondering if the freely available oracle s/w supports ConText search option. I am getting error notice when i tried to configure context search option by ctxctl command.
Please suggest me what to do to invoke conText search option.
Thanks,
Rajesh

It would be a stand alone program, when you enter a url into the input box and hit search it should load the url typed in , in frame 2. But if the "Use Proxy" check box is checked then it should include the proxy in each search.
This swf is pretty self explanitory - http://www.mediafire.com/?6e9kl90s23lcyb9

Context search on content + other field(s)

I'm using oracle.ifs.search.* classes to do a context search on the content but at the same time I want to do a context search on the DOCUMENT.DESCRIPTION field.
(A bit like what you can do when searching in this Forum)
The ContextSearchSpecification only seems to allow 1 classname for the context Query.
I could use a FreeFormQualification instead, I guess, but then I'm not only loosing late binding, but I cannot get to the score results and nor can I sort on the scores.
Are there ways to overcome this ?
Are there any examples on how to use a FreeFormQualification exactly ?
null

Another method that puzzles me a lot :
oracle.ifs.search.ContextSearchSpecification.setMedia(oracle.ifs.beans.Media [] media)
It is supposed to explicitly set the Media to search over. Can I use it to do a context search on multiple media ? It looks that way.
oracle.ifs.beans.Media is not documented.
Any examples of the use of setMedia ?

Context search timeout not considered ?

Consider the following method that query twice a LDAP directory and hangs in the second query for nearly 10 minutes - I think that is TCP timeout - in the context search even if set a timeout of 5 seconds.
The connection has been closed between the first and the second search by a firewall, dueto the "Stateful inspection policy".
Have I forgotten some thing ? Or is the LDAP SPI that has a bug ?
This is the code, hope you've some advice...
Thank you
Roberto

Context search in iFS/Linu

Hello,
my question is about the INSO_FILTER that is used when binary files are indexed(pdf, doc,..). In the IFS context search is about that, and there is IFS for Linux, that means that there is some kind of filter for Linux. Can that filter be used to index documents with Oracle text under Linux?
Thanks
