Customizing the Bridge Search Interface

I've created a custom MetaData Schema and custom FileInfo panel for my CS4 applications.
Now, I'd like to customize the bridge search interface. Currently, the search interface shows EXIF metadata types as searchable. I'd like to add my own, and remove the EXIF.
After reading the Adobe Bridge CS4 Javascript Guide, I believe that I can do what I want by creating a whole new script driven search window. It seems like it should be much easier than that to modify the Search interface directly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

My suggestion would be to post in the Bridge Scripting forum:

Customizing the advanced search form (showing less parameters)

Hi,
can I customize the advanced search form in Portal, for
instance, to hide some parameters like "item attributes"
or "item types"?
I've read the thread at http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?
id=562712 where it shows how to write a custom advanced search,
but that requires some programming efort. are there any easier
alternative?
many thanks.

You could try to cpoy the HTML source of the advanced search
page, copy it in a HTML-portlet or dynamic page, and remove the
fields you don't want to show.
I had succes this way with the search portlet and add_groups
portlet, didn't try the advanced search page though.

Customizing the advacne search option

Hello Everyone,
I am making the application in which I want to customize the code such that there should be no columns present when we are starting the advance search.

Can you explain your use-case further.
When you mention there should be no columns present, do you mean that the table should not be displayed or are you mentioning that no criteria items should be displayed. If you are referring to criteria items, then by default 4 criteria rows will be displayed (if there are 4 or more criteria items) and this cannot be personalized.

Hi Hua
Check this and this should solve your problem
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/collaboration.sdn?node=linkFnode6-1&contenttype=url&content=https://Regarding the customizing portal logon page
There are two jar files that u need to add
These are the jar files.
com.sap.portal.runtime.logon_api.jar
com.sap.portal.runtime.logon_core.jar
They can be found inside the par file. Extract the par file you will get those files
The first one have to be placed in lib(inside PORTAL-INF)and the second one inside PORTAL-INF>>private>>lib.

Load Search Interfaces in Endeca 3.0

Hi,
In version 2.4 we had this nice LoadIndexingConfiguration graph which sets some input attributes to searchable and create different search interfaces based on the input file.
In version 3.0 this graph is gone and now (as far as I see) the LoadConfiguration graph sets the attributes in the attributemetadata file as searchable and creates 1 search interface 'All' for all these attributes.
What is the best way to load some additional search interfaces in Endeca Server? I have tried to change 'All' to another name but it simply replaces the 'All' interface with the new one. I also tried to use the 2.4 LoadConfiguration graph but this doesn't work. It loads the search interfaces in Endeca Server but I don't see them in Studio.
Kind regards,
Marco

Marco,
Keep in mind that all your search interfaces reside in the recsearch_config document in the Dgraph. You can load this document via a Web Service Client in a graph (like the Load Search Interfaces component in the LoadConfiguration graph). You can, for example, write your own set of search interfaces with a text editor (like TextPad) and then load it via the Web Service Client. Similar to this in the Integrator User's Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E39272_01/integrator.300/integrator_users/toc.htm#Configuring%20record%20search
Two things to keep in mind:
1. The recsearch_config document that you load completely overwrites the one that is currently in the Dgraph. That is, you can't incrementally add a new search interface. So if you have 2 search interfaces in the Dgraph and want to add a third, you have to load all 3 in the same recsearch_config doc.
2. In Studio, make sure you configure the new search interface, as documented here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E39271_01/studio.300/studio_users/toc.htm#Managing%20the%20list%20of%20search%20configurations

How can I limit Bridge searches to just image names?

I'm new to CS5 and use Bridge a lot.
The problem I'm having is that it seems very difficult to limit the images to just the artwork I'm looking for.
When I type in almost any name, the Mac OS will bring up dozens of related files for every sort of OSX segment file.
I only want Bridge to show images.
It seems that in trying to narrow down the choices, the settings are a bit arcane.
When I create a search for document type, there are about 200 arcane sorts to weed out... with photoshop appearing about three screens down the list.
Is there any way to limit the searches to just photoshop .psd and .jpeg files?
Thanks!

Thanks!
I wonder if there is any way to save these basic search parameters, so one doesn't have to go through all that trouble for every search?
If not, I'd say Adobe really dropped the ball on this one, effectively undoing the simplicity in favor of too many bells & whistles... imho.
I find myself just going to the Mac OS finder to search file names, since the Bridge search is so arcane.
IF there was a way to save the basic search for images (as opposed to coming up with every single related name on the entire computer), that'd sure make things quicker.

New custom field in the POWL search criteria

Hi experts,
My requirement is to add a new custom field in the search criteria (Parameters)
In my Easy shopping card POWL. I need to add custom fields in search criteria.
I tried appending my custom fields in structure /SAPSRM/S_SEARCHFIELDS
And customized the POWL type DB criteria SAPSRM_FEEDER_SC by adding the custom field
But still the newly added search criteria is not displaying in the
Query SAPSRM_E_CHECKSTATUS_01 in powl_query transaction.
Kindly help me to solve this issue
Regards
Chinnaiya P

Hello Konstantin,
thanks for the reply...
I tried to add an extra Field(Company code) in POWL Search. the problem is the Field Company code doesnt get updated in BBP_PDHSC and BBP_PDISC with the value used in while creating SC.
I only get the Company code value in table BBP_PDBEI for SC.
So when i give any value in POWL search for company code no data is shown even though the SC was created in the inputted Company code.
so how to go about adding CC as search criteria in POWL so that the resultant output is filtered on the basis of CC value.
Thanks
Rajat

Bridge search criteria doesn't find files but the exact same criteria finds files in the Finder

I am wondering if anyone has been having the same problem that I have been having. I can't seem to get any results back from the Bridge when I create a smart collection but when I enter the exact same criteria in the Finder I get lots of results. I took a screen shot of both programs if any one can catch something I am doing wrong. To me it looks exactly like the same search criteria in both apps.
Here are the screen shots:

Hi Holly,
I've been doing a lot of reading on and off and my office just decided to get a server and either extensis portfolio, or canto cumulus, both are software packages that have been designed from the beginning to do exactly what we want.
The drag is that they are expensive, but I was spending so much time trying to tweak out bridge and trying different scripts and blah blah blah, that I wasn't taking pictures, so that's what we decided to go with.
I've worked with Canto Cumulus in another job and it is really great, some people told me to check out extensis so I'm looking into both right now.
Sorry, but that's the best solution for us, just use something else instead of bridge for the network.

How to enhance the standard search with custom field?

Hi all,
I would like to know the general optimal procedure to enhance the standard searches like Opportunity search or Lead search.
I've gone through some of the threads here. Some suggest, to add the new field using AET and copy the IMPL class of the search and then code the custom logic. Some say, append the new field to the structure of the search object and then implement the BADI.
I'm actually a bit confused to understand the correct procedure.
Can someone please help me with a generic procedure to enhance the standard search with a custom field?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Maren,
Once I have got the same development. I have followed the below steps, please check with this. Let me know for further inputs.
Add new field using Append structure of type ‘XXX’ in search
Create BADI implementation for Enhancement spot ‘ES_CRM_RF_Q1O_SEARCH’ and include filter ‘BTQOPP’
Put your logic in BADI implementation – SEARCH method
Add it in WebUI configuration
Remove the operator if required

You can't add icons to Safari on iOS devices. You can set google as your default search engine for Safari via Settings > Safari > Search Engine - the URL field acts as both URL and search on iOS 7

Enabling eRecord for standard WIPMOVE in the custom form using wip interfac

Hi,
Anyone know how to trigger the eRecord for the standard WIPMOVE transaction in the custom form using WIP Interface (wip_move_txn_interface & wip_movproc_pub.processinterface).
I have done all the necessary setting and eRecords is getting generated in the standard out of box form. But when i call the same WIPMOVE transaction through a custom form using WIP Interface it is not generating eRecord.
As suggested by cookbook I tried EDR_ERES_EVENT_PUB.RAISE_ERES_EVENT, ERES.PERFORM_TRANSACTION, nothing is working out.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks,

How to limit the external drives that Bridge searches?

I'm experiencing the problem that I find myself working on the files chosen from Bridge that have been selected from my external drive.
This can lead to catastrophic results, of course, when the user will overwrite the wrong files, etc.
I have looked all through the Bridge preferences, but I can't find anyplace to limit the searches to just the original main hard drive.
Of course it's nice to have backup on the external drive, (which I have cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)... but often I look up from working on a photoshop file and realize I've been working on a file that originated from the external drive, and not the original HDD.
This is driving me nuts!
So.... is there any way to limit the external drives that Bridge will search?
Thanks!
jn

So.... is there any way to limit the external drives that Bridge will search?
Yes, in the find menu (cmd+F or menu:Edit/Find) you have a window that let's you select the source where to look in, if you choose your hard drive as source to look in it will only find the files there.
The folder panel may also be useful for your purpose, although I personally almost never have need for the find option in Bridge it might be when having Bridge pointed to a certain disk or folder the quick find field top right in Bridge window might also do the trick for you.
Of course it's nice to have backup on the external drive, (which I have cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)...
I would not use Carbon Copy Cloner for back up but a dedicated back up application like Synchronize Pro, Just copy the whole content you want to use for back up to an external HDD and customize Synchronize the way you like it (when to back up, archive the older files etc etc). There are also a lot of other (some free) back up utilities.

You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.
