CS 4 vs CS 3 - Quick Search and Indexing Improvements???

Our firm is currently using CS3 Bridge and Spotlight for image archiving and retrieval. The indexing time is horrendous
given the volume and size of images. The Spotlight interface is not that intuitive and looking at solutions
that include upgrading to CS4. I would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding CS4 and potential
improvements with search and indexing of images.

As a big fan of Bridge I sure would advice you to upgrade to CS4 because it
is a far more stable version. However I use it not for Digital Asset
Management and I also think Bridge is still not ready for this job because
they still have no good cache management system for it.
It is an exclelent application for ingestion files, sorting, rating adding
metadata renaming and start to develop in ACR. For this I use it daily to
great satisfaction.
However I have an archive with over 40.000 files in it and I have tried to
use Bridge to index it. Not very succesful I have to confess.
I recently switched from Media Expression (before Microsoft took over it was
called iView Media Pro) to the single user version of Canto Cumulus.
Although both mentioned DAM applications are not free they are well worth
the money (Canto is a little more expensive but again worth the money)
You can get a trial version for both DAM, just try them to see which will
suit you the best.
Also download the CS4 trial, this is certainly a good investment as you will
discover after you have tried it

Quick search and New buttons on master - detail pages

Hi
When I generate master-detail pages, the master has quick search and new button, but detail's doesn't. How can I generate the detail with quick search and new button options?
Thanks in advance
Liceth

Liceth,
Only one group within a page can have Quick Search functionality.
A New button is generated for a group when insert is allowed and the layout style includes a form layout page (table-form, select-form, form or tree-form)

Quick Search and Domains

When using quick-search in a field which contains a domain, the value queried is not the ones from the "meaning" but the physical value on the table. Example:
The following domain:
<Domain name="Priority">
<AllowableValue value="LOW" meaning="niedrig"/>
<AllowableValue value="MEDIUM" meaning="mittel"/>
<AllowableValue value="HIGH" meaning="hoch"/>
</Domain>
Can only be searched by LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH and not niedrig/mittel/hoch.
In advanced search is working fine, as I have the drop-down list with the options. But in quick-search, where I have to type the value, is not working.

Idevaldo,
This problem is inherent to the Quick Search dropdownlist technique. The same text item is used for each queryable attribute. In the Advanced Search, there is a separate item for each attribute, which makes it possible to have a choice item for the domain/lookup that returns the underlying value, even if the end user only sees the meaning.
You will find that if you change the Quick Search type to singleSearchField, and as the search attribute specify the one with a domain or choice lookup, then JHeadstart will generate a dropdownlist for the meanings in the Quick Search area as expected.
So my suggestion is that you remove this particular attribute from the Quick Search, and let it only be available in the Advanced Search (post-gen). Or you could generate only an Advanced Search region, or make the attribute non-queryable (which would remove it from both the Advanced Search and the Quick Search).
Hope this helps,

Search and index functions don't work with merged projects

Until this morning, the search and index functions in my RoboHelp project worked okay; I have one Main project into which I have merged more than three dozen sub-projects. About an hour ago, I created a new sub-project and merged it into the Main project; now, it's as if the topics in my merged projects don't exist.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Lon

So when you open the merge you see all the content, it is just the search and index not working. This must be merged CHMs as you are talking about a Favourites tab so maybe your other comment is relevant. My understanding of merged CHMs is that you do not want spaces in file names, that could be the problem.

Spacing in Search and Index panes

Please could someone advise me how to add padding to the Search and Index panes? I've edited the whthost.js file to apply spacing to the Table of Contents and that worked fine. However, I've tried editing the whfhost.js and whihost.js files in the same place for the Search and Index panes respectively, but changes to these files don't affect the output.
PS. I'm using RH8 and outputting to WebHelp.
Many thanks
Jonathan

In the Navigation Pane > Index > Setting a different color or background for the Index Input heading area topic, see the reference to image and color. However, the font stuff is there, too. Copy the skin somewhere, first, then try adding stuff like margin-bottom:5px inside the <font> tag and see what you get.
<subpane name="Index">
   <image></image>
   <color>background:White alink:#d9e4da hover-color:#173a81</color>
   <font>font-family:Tahoma font-size:8pt font-weight:Normal font-style:Normal text-decoration:none font-sizeadjust:none font-stretch:normal font-variant:normal font-color:Black</font>
   <inputbox>
    <image></image>
    <color>background:White</color>
    <textbox width="0"/>
    <title>
     <text>::??DefaultWebSkinText??::</text>
     <font>font-family:Tahoma font-size:8pt font-weight:Normal font-style:Normal text-decoration:none font-sizeadjust:none font-stretch:normal font-variant:normal font-color:Navy</font>

Search and index for child projects

Hello I have a merged RoboHelp 9 project. Is there a way I can setup the project so that when the user does a search, the child projects are searched as well as the master? Is there a way that I can used the Smart Index Wizard from the master project to produce an index which includes the child projects as well as the master. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Welcome to our community, Steven
Sorry for slowness, forums seem hit or miss today.
What you are describing is exactly how a merge should operate. All projects that are part of the merge should be properly searched and an Index would work across all projects. Because of this, I'm struggling to see a need to index everything from only the Master.
As you likely already know, the Smart Index Wizard simply scans topics and auto-maps them to keywords in whatever project you have open.
Sorry, but there is no way I'm aware of for the Smart Index Wizard to be used from the Master and coax it to index child projects. It's an interesting thing to consider and I would heartily encourage you to submit a Wish Form to ask for this functionality to appear in a future release. You do this using the Wish Form. (link to the Wish Form is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Case insensitive search and index

I have to execute a case insentitive search.
I created this index on a not null field:
create index indx_prova on
table (nlssort(campo, 'NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI'));
The select is:
select * from tabella where campo like 'A storage%'
This select should retrive 5 records:
A storage ring for crystalline beam studies
a storage ring for crystalline beam studies
A Storage Ring for Crystalline Beam Studies
A storage ring for crystalline beam studies
A storage ring for crystalline beam studies
Instead I got only 3 records:
A storage ring for crystalline beam studies
A storage ring for crystalline beam studies
A storage ring for crystalline beam studies
So The query isn't case insensitive.
I can't set nls_sort=BINARY_CI and nls_comp=LINGUISTIC at level session.
Is there a solution.
Am I doing something wrog?

I set alter session set nls_comp=LINGUISTIC; alter session set nls_sort=BINARY_CI;
I create this index:
create index titolo_indx on
table (nlssort(campo, 'NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI'));
If I execute this query:
select * from ri01_prodotti where titolo like 'A storage ring f%'
Oracle doesn't user the index.
SQL_ID 7yvspnyf96vp8, child number 0
select * from ri01_prodotti where titolo like 'A storage ring%'
Plan hash value: 350479533

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):

If I execute a query with =, oracle use index.
select * from table where campo ='A storage ring for crystalline beam studies'

Search and index across child projects seem inconsistent.

Hi
I created a new Master project and added a child project using RoboHelp 9 HTML to created a Microsoft HTML file. When I open the Master's chm file, I can view the index for the complete project (master and child) as well as do a search across the entire project. Then I added another child project (after creating an index in the child) and rebuilt my master. New when I view the new master chm file, the index does not include second child, although it does included the first child, and the search does not search the second child. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much Amebr. Your answer was right on the mark. I think I discovered how the path was hard-coded. I will describe what happened in case anyone else has a similar situation.
Below is a copy of the "MERGE FILES" section of my master project's HPP file. I removed the "!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\" from "!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\FOCUS_Utility.chm". But when I regenerated the master project, the path ("!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\") was re-added to the file name and the problem persisted.
The difference between " Weight_Module.chm" "Deckhouse_Module.chm" and the other merged files is that I imported them for outside of the folder containing the master project's files. With the other files I coped them to the "!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\" of the master project before I merged them in the TOC of the master. To fix the problem I had to:
remove the projects from the mater's TOC
Remove the line in the "[MERGE FILES]" section of the master project's .hhp file
copy the merged files' chm to a folder outside of the master's folder.
Remerge the merged ( or child) project in to the TOC of the master project and let RoboHelp copy the merged chm file into the masters "!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\" folder.
Regenerated the master project.
[MERGE FILES]
Weight_Module.chm
Deckhouse_Module.chm
!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\FOCUS_Utility.chm
!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\PRFMNC.chm
!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\Performance_53.chm

Office 2010 Outlook Search and Indexing not working

Hello,
I'm hoping someone may be of assistance as this has been plaguing my outlook for some time now.
Problem:
When attempting to search for any emails via the search bar, it appears as if it is attempting to search, but I receive no results.
Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1
Office 2010 Service Pack 2
Connected to Office 365 Exchange
In services Windows Search service is not running, though Automatic (Delayed Start is selected), I attempted starting the service but it returned with an error saying it started and then stopped.
In Outlook options > Search > Indexing Options > the service is shown as "Indexing is not Running" and the list of indexed folders is empty. Everything else is grayed
out except "Advance Tab" which only has one button available called "Rebuild", everything else is grayed out.
I am aware this question was asked a few years back but the linked articles referenced are no longer working.
Though I seem to be having a similar problem and any assistance and new suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Please check if you can search mailbox in OWA. If OWA works well, the issue is related Outlook.
If it is the same issue in OWA, in Exchange 2013, you can use the following command to check the content index state of the mailbox database where this user is.
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | fl name, contentindex*
If the content index status is Failed, please try to reseed the search catalog. After that, please rebuild the index in Outlook to check the result.
If you are using Office 365, I recommend you ask this question in Office 365 forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of this problem. You might get a better answer there.

Google search and indexing...

I have a Google related question. I changed the title tag of
a couple of my pages but google still sees the old tag. Is there a
time period before it changes or is there something I have to
do.

I skimmed through the thread in the Webmaster's forum and I would say that it all irrelevant.
All this stuff about....
"I have been told that part of the problem with the site is the the index.html file that is in the root folder of the site redirects the robots.txt file via meta refresh to Site/Home.html but the crawler does not follow meta refreshes and subsequently fails to crawl the site."
I would say your main problem is that you have committed one of the greatest SEO Sins known to webmasters - using a splash page as your Home page.
The index.html file redirects to the Home page and this is where the spiders start looking for relevant and interesting text. All they find on your Home page is one word "Welcome"!
If the text that's on your About page was on the Home page the spiders would love you and Google would be happy to include you in their search results because they would then have found something to index.
Interesting and relevant text containing your keywords is the highest priority in SEO. Don't call your Home page "Home" call it LPY-Cycles. Use keywords in the page names, headings text and caption every image and movie with descriptive keywords.
Instead of "Contact" use something like "Contact-LPY-Cycles". Get your keywords into the URLs via the page names. The page URLs are the first contact the spiders have with your website via the sitemap.xml.

How to implement Quick Query and Saved Searches in ADF?

We are using 11gR2 ADF.
The requirement is to enable Quick Search and save the Searches.
In the Oracle ADF documentation, it is mentioned that
- Create a view with view criteria named.
- In the .jspx drag and drop the view criteria and Select Quick Query
Upon doing the above, we see that a Search panel is getting created, but with a message 'No Search Fields Added'.
In the named view criteria, Under 'UI Hints' we have set
-- execution mode as Both
-- Search region mode is Basic
-- Show Operators in Basic
Under 'Criteria Definition'
the attributes are added in a group with OR condition.
Thanks for your reply. Oracle ADF developer guide does not help!!
If you have any other documentation that helps in implementing this Quick Query and Saved Search, your help is greatly appreciated.

Set the following on your af:query component
SaveQueryMode = hidden
ModeChangeVisible = false
This should work for you ..

How to include variable "assigned to" values in quick search

Hi!
The values available in field "assigned to" (agent inbox), vary depending on settings in PPOMA_CRM.
I can see different teams or even nothing.
When I try to define a quick search (TX: CRMC_IC_AUI_QUICKS), the field "assigned to" has two values: Me and My groups. Looks like this values are fixed, as they do not vary if I change my assignments in PPOMA_CRM.
Does that mean that we cannot define any other values in quick search, and that we have to manually choose them in inbox?
Thanks,
Borut

No one encountered this requirment?

Agent Inbox Quick Search with Custom Parameter

Hi,
In the Agent Inbox Advanced Search I added Created By as a searchable parameter. We'd now like to create a Quick Search for Created By - Me.
I see that we use view CRMV_AUI_QUICKS to define quick searches and that this view is based on the table CRMC_AUI_QUICKS. Obviously the field (Created By) that I added to the Search Object (BTQueryAUI) is not included in that table.
So, I suppose that I can append the new field (Created By) to table CRMC_AUI_QUICKS; but then won't I have to regenerate the Table Maintenance View so that the new field will be included in the maintenance screen? Won't this be considered a repair since the view is in the SAP namespace?
Will this even work?
Is there any other way to include custom search fields in Quick Searches? I guess I could code a solution in ICCMP_INBOX/AdvQuicksearchV but I'd rather not have to code quick searches every time a new field is added to the searchable parameters.
Thanks for your time,
P.

Anyone have any insight in to this?
Thanks,
P.
