Date ordered search results

When I start a new search in Mail, the results are always returned ordered according to their rating. I prefer date ordered so I click the date column and arrange by date. However, it is annoying to have to do this for every new search... is there a way to set the default sort method to "sort by date"

Hi riscy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The "toggle it" part is highlighting on one of the sortable columns (From, Subject, Date Received, etc) and then click/toggle on the small triangle in the right corner of that column heading.
So, for example, if you are sorting by Subject and the triangle points up, you will be sorting in alphabetical order A-Z - if the triangle is down, it will be Z-A. Same on Date Received (or Sent if you are in your Sent folder)
Of course you must have messages to sort for the triangle to show.
Good Luck,
John

Display pdf meta data in search results

I'm using the built in search function of Sun One web server 6.1 to catalog a directory that contains a large number of scientific journal article in pdf format. In each pdf file the title of the journal article and the author name is contained in the document metadata. After a search is performed the Title field is listed on the search results page. Is there a way to make the Author field appear there as well? It seems that the html version of the file generated by htmlconv contains the information I want <meta name="author" content=" Author Name "></meta>, but I did not find enough information in the documentation to allow me to modify /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/webapps/search/index.jsp to display this information properly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
You will need to create a new 'metadata property' through search and map it as below (though there is 1 OOTB property but you cannot use it) -
1) Create metadata property, say 'Modified By User' (text)
2) Map it to - ows_Modified_x0020_By(Text) , ows_ModifiedBy(Text) , Office:8(Text)
3) Run a full crawl
4) After this, you need to modify the search results XSLT to add 'Modified By' in the results page. You will find good articles on this on MSDN/Technet (check here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms560074(v=office.14).aspx)

Ordering search results in Finder

When I search for certain files, I often need to sort the results in some custom order. Like by "date created". Or, by "date created", then by "kind". Unfortunately, Finder offers sorting by either "name", "kind", "last opened" only. Cmd+J (view options) actually doesn't offer an options. Creating a smart folder doesn't help either.
Am I missing something, or should I just look for another file browser for this kind of task?

Spotlight/Finder's Find only offers these three options: name, kind, and last opened. See http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html

Table Data Source Search Result gives ClassCastException

I have specified NUMBER as the data type for my primary key column and it is of type NUMBER in my table DDL. Is that OK or could this be causing the problem?
Dinesh

Dinesh,
Can you provide the following information for creating the table data source:
- Is the table data source based on a table or a view?
- Is the table/view in the local or remote database?
- If the table is in the local database, is the table in the instance owner schema or another schema?
- Do you login to Ultra Search Admin Tool as the instance owner or other users?
- Does the instance owner schema have privileges to read the contents in the table/view?

Change sort order search results?

When I search in Mountain Lion I get a list of results, for instance documents that contain the word "serial"
see the attached screenshot.
The searchresults are ordered by name.
Only problem is the last result (starting with a Z) comes first.
I want the results starting with an A to show first.
In Lion you could reverse the sort order by clicking in the top bar (which says "Name" or "Naam" in my screenshot) but here that does not work.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Change the item arrangement to 'None'
And then you'll be able to reverse the sort order

Search results showing incorrect modified date

Hi All,
I have a one difficulty in search results.
Document showing incorrect modified date in search results. And this happens for one document only.
We have customized the search/results.aspx page, Our document is showing correct modified date in document properties,All Items.aspx like 31/4/2013.
But when i search with document name in search, result showing incorrect modified date like 24/6/2004.
I checked with database in SQL, every thing is fine.
I have updated the Modified date through powershell script for one document and after that this recent modified date is showing in search results.
But after updating the Modified date through powershell, issued document not showing the recent modified date in search results. still showing as 24/6/2004.
I should not do edit property and save, to create new version.
I don't know what is happening in search crawl. All ready full crawl running daily basis.
I want to check whether this issued document is crawling or not. Could anybody help me to get out of this. what is the main cause of this issue.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
I'm seeing the same issue after upgrading the SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013.
When I search any upgraded document in SharePoint 2013, the document's "Last Modified Date" was showing an incorrect value in Search Results page but other metadata of document like "Last Modified User" is showing the correct
value so the problem is not with document crawl, something wrong with Last Modified Date property in Search results.
I have seen below comment as answer but I didn't understand the solution to fix this issue for all upgraded documents.
The most likely cause is that there is metadata on the documents that is set to that date which is overriding the other dates in the search result. SharePoint isn't particulary imaginative so it's got to be finding that date from somewhere.
Do we have any solution for this issue? Is this issue will be addressed in SharePoint 2013 SP1?
Note: No issues with documents, which uploaded after upgrade.

Issue in disabling button and retaining search results of query bean

Hi,
I need help in 2 issues
1) I have a query bean and an advanced table attached to it. I have enabled table actions and put a button inside that. The requirement is the button should be enabled only if a record is present in the advanced table. If for a search parameter, no results are displayed in the advanced table, the button should remain disabled. The moment the results are populated in advanced table the button should be enabled. Please let me know how this can be achieved.
2) In the advanced table there is a column of type Link. On clicking this link i am forwarding the control to some other OAF page AA. I am retaining AM here. From this new OAF page AA user can move to some other OAF pages B or C. All these pages have different AM. There is a link called return to original page on page AA which takes user back to the search screen. When user goes to page AA and comes back to search screen without going to page B or C the search results are displayed on the page, but when user goes from page AA to page B or C and finally returns to the search screen, the data in search results along with search criteria are lost. The search screen is completely blank.
I need to display the search results/search criteria no matter what navigation user is doing. Is there a way i can save the search query that got executed on the click of search button. I can re-execute the query when user comes back on search screen.
Please let me know how to achieve these 2 functionalities.
Thanks,
VG

For (1)
I guess you want to select single/multiple rows after the table is populated in table and perform an action using button.
If that is the case then do not put button under table actions. Instead put it under multiselection region. Then button only gets displayed when rows are populated.
If that is not the case then get a handle to button (use findChildRecursive, findIndexedChildRecursive may not work) and disable/enable it.
For (2).. If you are on r12 below can be useful :- (taken from 12.1 framework guide)
Using Search Persistence
In the past, if a user performed a search and then drilled down to a details page, search criteria was lost when
the user navigated back to the Search page, unless the developer retained the AM or created a custom
implementation to persist the search criteria. As of Release 12, developers no longer need a custom
implementation to persist search criteria, as the query region now has an automatic search persistence
mechanism in place.
Generally speaking, you should still retain the AM in favor of using the automatic search persistence
mechanism for performance optimization reasons. However, if retaining the AM presents a scalability issue
because the underlying view object (VO) had hundreds of attributes, then you should you turn off retainAM and
allow the query region to automatically handle all the search criteria binding and use the automatic search
persistence mechanism.
Note: If you retain the AM state, the automatic search persistence mechanism will not be active. The search
persistence mechanism is automatic only if the AM state is not retained.
When a user selects the Go button to initiate a search on the query region, the OAQueryBean automatically
caches the search criteria on the user session. After the user drills down to the detail page of the Search
results and then returns to the Search page, the OAQueryBean restores the search criteria from the cache and
re-executes the query using that saved critieria.
Note: Since the query is re-executed, any sort, navigation or transient UI state of the results table will not be
preserved. Saving the entire table state presents high overhead which is what this particular feature is trying to
avoid.

How to list searched email in dATE ORDER

There seems to be a problem with searching for email with my iphone5s.Unlike with my iphone 4s it does not display the results in date order. The most recent emails are shown buried further down in the list. I have asked the gurus at two Apple shops and nobody seems to be aware of the problem or can assist. I would have imagined this would have been readily observed by Apple in the initial beta testing so am surprised it has not been sorted before release. I have uploaded ios7.0.3 so I am up to date.

i think there is no settings to sort the search results by date, in order to search by time, you can type the month name followed by your search query
something like "February meeting"
look into mails section in the ios& manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

IOS7 mail search results appear to be random by date also where are the search parameters, from to etc..? help!

Mail search returns results by random date. Where are the mail search parameters, from,to,etc?

This is really annoying. Mail search on iOS 7 never worked, either on iPhone
4S or on iPad.
Search results are not sorted in any perceivable order. I get totally random results, with messages dating 4 years back jumping to yesterday and so on.
I have never seen Apple to respond to this issue with earnest feedback, and users are often dismissed.
I used to have to resort to my Macbook Pro to get decent results, but due to the many mail app problems on OSX, I do not rely on it anymore.
Can Apple please give feedback to this search issue on the IOS devices? It is really, REALLY crippling.

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.

How to populate new record on data entry form based on search results?

Hello,
I'm new to jdeveloper im using version 11.1.2.1.0.
Usually Im using forms 10g.
I created search panel with table and its working but problem is how to transfer/populate all the field value according to that search result to New data Entry Form
by clicking the table record or a button.
Given :
TABLES,EO
1. PatientMasterIndex
2. PatientTransactionMaster <<---- master
3. PatientTransactionDetail <<-- detail relation
Here the scenario,
After Search of any patient, when i clicked one or more patient (which Jdeveloper allow multi select on jtable) on the table record it should automatically transfer or copied to the text field, i want to show on the form of PatientTransactionMaster like PatientNumber,PatientInsuranceNumber etc. to be save on db as new record, also non database field for view only like patient Name,address,age.
IN forms i can do that by :PatientTransactionMaster.PatientNumber := :blocksearch.PatientSearchNumber ,etc.....
or an item trigger to populate the said PatientTransactionMaster block. ( select .... into :PatientTransactionMaster.PatientNumber,etc....)
Any suggestion,links,sample is highly appreciated.
Sorry for my english.
Thank you very much

Hi,
Do you want to create a detail record that will include some values from your master record??
Or do you want to create a record with values from your Search criteria, only in the case you do not have any results?
if it is the second case.
When do you want to do that? After a press of button? or immediately?
In general you have to handle the values from search criteria.
Additionally, if you use ViewCriteria, you have to have bind variables for your search criteria that you will want to use.
So in general, you have to know the values by using bind variables, understand that the query has no results (This can be done in many ways, depending on your implementation. if you are using a button, you could make a disable condition with iterator.estimatedRowCount property.)
Perform the insert operation with the values from the bind variables.

Dimitris.

Search results not displaying correct last modified date

Hello
I have a bit of a strange issue. I have a SharePoint site that was upgraded from SP2010 to SP2013. A document has been created and uploaded into SharePoint on 1 August 2014 and the file has since been edited. In the search results the last
modified date is appearing as '8 January'. Note that this document was not originally created from a blank one but was instead a Word document that was received by the user and then edited and then uploaded into SharePoint.
I have checked my locale settings and everything is set to New Zealand.
I have rerun a full crawl on my search database and this hasn't helped.
Also, I have multiple sharepoint web applications on my server using the same search service application. is it best to separate these out?

Hi Martin,
As I understand, the issue you encountered is the LastModifiedTime displayed incorrect in search result.
If you go to CA > Search service application > Search schema, in Managed Properties, type LastModifiedTime, then you will get LastModifiedTime property. Click it and you will find the property is mapped to five crawled properties.
I’d recommend you create a new managed property and only map it to ows_modified property. Then test the issue again.

Wrong Search result for Employee Resp.lD when searching Sales Order

Hi All,
Happy new year first of all,
I encounter a problem when using search sales order in WebUI. I am using SAP CRM 2007 SP4.
I notice that the search result by using Employee Responsible ID as criteria, is returning Person Responsible
instead !
I entered both partner function in sales order document (Employee Responsible => BP 1234 and
Person Responsible => BP 4567).
Although in Search criteria selection I choose Employee Responsible ID, but when I put
the BP 1234, the search result is blank. And when I change the value to BP 4567, I can see the result
shows that document. But BP 4567 is Person Responsible, how come it gives the result for Employee
Responsible??
This is totally wrong! I couldn't find SAP NOTE or same issue mentioned here in SDN.
Did I miss it? Please kindly share your find out if you have same case or solution for this.
Thank you and will be rewarded.
Cheers,
Gun

Hi Robert,
Which config are you refer to in SPRO ?
Partner Function Determination ?
By attention to the Relat. Category change, we can not simply change it (although it can fix this
problem). I read the field info :
In many cases this is predefined in the system, based on the partner function category chosen. You can assign the corresponding relationship type freely if:
- you select the partner function category undefined partneror
- you have yourself defined the relationship category to
So did you try it? fixed the problem? or have you encounter further problem?
Rgds,
Gun.

Finder Search Results DATE CREATED / 10.5=MOST USELESS O.S. OF ALL TIME?

Please Please Please tell me there's still a way to turn on the view options in finder search windows/results to display a files "Date Created" / "Date Modified" / "Size" etc. (basically all the options we have in a finder list view window).
Seriously, if we are limited to Name/Kind/Last Opened with no way to see, at the very least, Date Created/Modified in the search results Mac OS 10.5 has just become useless to meet my needs. I mean totally and entirely useless. I mean sell my iMac and buy a windows box so I can find my files useless.
Just tell me there's a way to turn on ALL the view options.
<Edited by Moderator: Please See Terms of Use>

There does not seem to be any way to restore Finder's behavior and options for search as it was in Tiger etc. Leopard's Finder view options aren't even allowed any longer in search windows (go to View->Options to get a frustrating message about it).
There seems to be NO 3rd party utility to allow real-time file search and display/sort results by size -- obviously noone wrote it, since Finder used to be able to do that - until Leopard, that is.
If this is a bug it's a pretty big and obvious one. I've reported it on bugreporter.apple.com (I guess others have done the same).
If it were to be considered a "feature" in Leopard, it'd be one of the most limiting ones in 10.5 - this one and the Dock's Stacks are pretty high on the list of useless "new features" in Leopard. John Siracusa wrote in his excellent review about these and others (at http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/12) :
"+Not only does the Leopard Finder take no bold steps towards a brave new world of file management, it even further distances itself from a coherent incarnation of established file management paradigms. The changes in Leopard do indicate that Apple has taken a renewed interest in improving the Finder, but motion is not the same thing as progress. For where I'm sitting, it looks like one step forward, two steps back.+"
Speaking as someone who's been developing software on Mac OS X since pre-Aqua Mac OS X Server 1.0 days, I sadly have to agree...

Change search results to ascending order

Some time in the past week or to, the search results that are returend from Finder, are now in descending order. I have no idea when or how that was changed, but I'd like to change it back to ascending. How do I accomplish?
I tried clicking and right clicking the column header. Nothing. Can't find anything Settings either.
Please help!
David

Thanks CaptFred, that was it. At some point I had selected Arrange by -> Name, and that for some reason defaulted to descending.
I just did some checking. Apparently, the current sort order becomes the default if you choose a different Arrange by value, and you can't change that unless you select Arrange by ->None. Interesting.
good to go!
Thanks!
David
