Delete Search Field

Is there a key board shortcut do delete the contents of the Search field in Mail? I like to hit command-1 to go to the main mail but if there is something in the search field I cannot do that unless I hit the little X in the field to delete it. Entourage allows this by using the same Command-1. But I like Mail!
Thanks!

Well, I'm in Tampa until the first of May. Now I'm in Vancouver until the first week of September. But, yes, my permanent residence is in Tampa. I'm a retired prof from USF.
As for your problem I've tried this on my computer and it works as expected regardless of what is in the search field. So I can't really help you. There is no standard shortcut to clear the search field, I'm afraid. Here's a list of all the shortcuts: Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts.
If the problem cannot be replicated then that would tend to indicate there's something wrong on your computer - perhaps only with the Mail application or with your system installation. I'd suggest you might start by creating a new user account. Log out of your account then log into the new one. See if this problem continues.

How to delete a field from search help which is delivered

hi
I got a requirement to delete a field from search help which is delivered long back
Regards
krishna

Hi
Whether it exists in DEV system or not?
Take the name of that Search Help from PRD/Quality(if it is not there in DEV system) and modify/change it by removing that field from the search help in DEV system and create a Transport request and transport the same request to Quality/PRD systems
Now the New changes (in which the field was removed) will be over written on the old search help in the PRD system, since it is the same Name (search help)

"One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields" while accessing website pages

We have a publishing website in SharePoint 2010. There are total 4 environments - Development, Test, Stage and Production. For some enhancements, we had to create some new lists and libraries. When we moved changes from Development to Test environment, everything
worked fine. Relevant lists and libraries in lower environments were saved as templates (in .stp format) including content, imported to higher environment, lists/libraries were created in higher environment using imported templates.
Things worked fine from Development to Test. We did similar exercise from Test to Stage environment. Now in Stage, when we access some pages, we get error message - "One or more field types are not installed
properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.". ULS logs don't tell which exact list has got problems.
On searching for this error, I got many articles that explain how this could happen when we migrate from SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) to 2010. Though our case different (as all our environments are in 2010), we still tried following steps.
De-activate 'SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure' Site Collection feature
Go to https://site-name/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx. This is a hidden list. Delete this list.
Re-activate 'SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure' Site Collection feature.
Make sure that new hidden list with one item is created at https://site-name/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx
However, this didn't help as we are still getting same error message. Appreciate if someone can suggest how this issue can be resolved.
Following are ULS logs:
Unable to execute query: Error 0x81020014

Hi Shrishail ,
Some time this issue occurs if you have any custom filed types in the list or library and that field type is not installed on server .
Can you please check that if you are having any custom field types column on the list and library and if that is the case you need to install that field type on the server. sometimes it happens if field types are not properly deployed / Installed then
you have to uninstall that field types (retract solution) and deploy it again.
Thanks,
Ujjwal

Why is the search field so small?

This may not be a big issue, but I just wonder why is the search field on iTunes for Windows so extremely small that you can barely type the name of the artist and if the song or album is too long, it starts scrolling. There's an awful lot of space to the left of it, why not make that search field set as auto width so it goes almost all the way to the right edge of the middle display?

Many applications do a "fast save". This includes Acrobat and Word for example. The quick save writes new stuff to the end of the file, making the file larger every time even if you delete things. Some apps use "Save as" to go through and do a slower save of only the things still used. I don;t actually know if InDesign works this way but it's quite likely. Fast save also has the advantage that it's much less likely to corrupt the file you are overwriting.

Search field in finder window fails to find

I'm in the process of preparing some thumbnail images for a webpage. I have each file named by our item number at 300 pixels wide. There is a thumbnail image of each at 50% size and 25% size. The 50% image is named with a "_150" after each file name and a "_75" after the 25% thumbnail image before the ,JPG file extension.
All images are contained in one folder. I now want to put each size in it's own folder (all the full sized images in one folder, all the 50% sized images in another and all the 25% sized images in the last folder. Normally (under Panther) I'd do a search in the Search field in the finder window to find all files with _150 in their name in the selected folder, select the results and move them to their own folder. It seems Spotlight with all it's vaunted search power cannot find any files with _150 in the folder I've indicated even though I can plainly see them. It finds no results at all. This is progress???? Give me back a simple Find command!!!!

Hmmm, how odd. I have renamed a file on my Desktop to append _150 to the end of the filename. Spotlight did find it via a Finder search.
You can try forcing Spotlight to re-index the folder by opening the Spotlight preference pane, select the Privacy tab, then drag the folder into the list. Wait one minute then delete the folder from the list. This will force Spotlight to try and re-index the folder.
If that doesn't work it's possible the Spotlight database index is messed up. If that's the case then you would need to delete the database and re-index.
I would also do a precautionary repair of the hard drive and permissions:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.0.4 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Vertical Toolbar thingy with a search field and my bookmark folders underneath. How do I get rid of it?

This might sound ridiculous but here it goes: I accidentally hit a couple keys on my netbook keyboard. This made a toolbar pop up on the left side of the window. It's vertical and has a search field at the top, then listed underneath are my bookmark folders in expandable/collapsible tree format. I can't find any reference to it in any of the options. I just want it to go away. It's kind of bothering me a lot more than it should. Please help me get rid of this.

Is this a "search field" bug?

hello,
“.Mac blog” have publicized that by adding the "search field" to an iWeb site, that field will only show up (be visible) in the "archive". It works like that for the Safari browser, but when it comes to using Internet Explorer or Firefox, the field can be seen in the blog's main page! (as in iWeb).
is this a bug? i really prefer to see the "search field" only in the "archive"...
anyone knows how to fix this?
thanks
http://web.mac.com/pedroesteves

Well spotted, Pedro. I must admit that I don't have a problem with the search field appearing on both the Summary and the Archive pages, but I hadn't realised until you pointed it out that it can't be deleted selectively from one only. In all fairness, though, I find the .Mac Blog genuinely helpful, and it contains quite a few useful entries which relate to iWeb. They do have a Feedback link, and I'm sure they'd welcome comments about this.

Creating search field for a list component

i have created a glossary of terms using the list component and populating it via an XML file.
what i would like to do is create a search field that as the user types in the search bar if there are any matching entries in the list, the focus/selection jumps to that particular item in list. i don't want to clear the list just go to the item that matches.
i would like it to be predictive so if i have these entries:
samson
seek
seether
south
and the user types "s" in the search box to the first "s" entry in the list (samson) is selected, if they type "se" the selection jumps to the first entry with "se" in it (seek) if they type "seet" the selection jumps to "seether" and so on.
i have absolutely no idea how to do it, but more importantly...is this possible?
i have attached the sample files that i have been working on.
thanks in advance

You need the lowercase. the keyCode of the keybpardevent returns the key's uppercase charcode. So the A-key allways returns 65. Therefore convert keycode to char and to lowercase before appending after what's allready there in the field.
To have the user not have to type the words with proper casing, convert the label to lowercase before doing the indexOf search.

Where is the search field?

I've got menu, navigation and add-on bars showing, but there's no search field. When I open Customize (toolbar), it appears to the right of the address field, where I expect it, but when I close Customize, it disappears. Thanks,

Restoring didn't return the search field. I reinstalled 4.0.1 on top of the current version, but that didn't do it either. But...
I installed the AwesomeBar HD extension yesterday (http://www.downloadcrew.com/article/22671-awesomebar_hd), and it struck me that might be the cause, although nothing in the write ups said it combined the search and address fields into one long one. It took some work to find the extension, since there wasn't any evidence of it in the Extensions list. Rather, I had to dig deep in the Profiles subfolder g9zrxnk6.default, which seems strange for an extension supposedly developed by Mozilla staff. Deleting that extension file returned the search field. Problem solved (I didn't like AB HD)

Bing hijacking my safari smart search field

Hi all,
after updating to Yosemite recently I have noticed that whenever I type a search into the safari smart search field, the results are redirected through the bing search engine.
I have tried changing it to Google, through the safari preferences and Duckduckgo too but its all to no avail. Everytime, the search returns bing suggestions. I hate bing, but I hate not having control over the search even more.

I doubt that the uninstaller completely removes the malware. Like "InstallMac" itself, it's distributed by a criminal.
You installed the "InstallMac" trojan. I suggest the procedure below to disable it. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the trojan (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including one called "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Conduit," "Spigot," or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Step 2
In the Applications folder, there may be items named "Installer," "InstallMac," "Reset Search," or "Uninstall IM Completer." Drag each such item to the Trash.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with a file named "com.genieo.completer.download.plist" selected. There may be other files in the folder with a name beginning in "com.genieo." Move them all to the Trash.
Move this folder, if it exists, to the Trash in the same way:
~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this trojan. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind this attack has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Which version of Safari adds the feature "Smart Search Field"?

The so called version of Safari's "Smart Search Field" will include function that automatically give suggestion based on what you type in the search field, just like this
Which version of Safari add this function?

I just spoke with Apple Enterprise Support since you got me curious as to why there were 2 versions with the same number. Apparently the 47.1MB one was a small update and they didn't up the version number. They couldn't tell me what the update was, but the 47.1MB is the most current.
Not sure why yours keeps reverting back to 4.1.3 though. Have you tried deleting the update and re-downloading it?

Website search-fields

Hello - and Happy New Year!
I'm currently using Firefox as my main browser for my iBook.
There's probably a flash word or phrase for this but... when I type into a search field it anticipates what I want to type based on my previous searches.
Sometimes this is useful, sometimes there are things written there which, for security or privacy, I don't want to appear.
I don't really want to clear the entire cache of searches (though I shall if that is the only option) but i would like to delete certain things.
Is there a way of doing this?
Many thanks!

You can't edit it but you can turn the suggestion feature off.
In Firefox's address bar type about:config and press return. In the search box at the top of the window that opens type search. Double click on browser.search.suggest.enabled and its value will change from True to False, disabling the feature.

Search field does not work in Address Book

Text typed into Address Book's search field just sits there. No hits, no response whatsoever.
It used to work . . .
Spotlight itself seems fine. It locates contacts in Address Book.
I've rebuilt the Spotlight index.

Same issue....for a couple of months now....starting to see enough of us that it is an issue. I've deleted plists, etc, etc. Anybody have any ideas? I have 1000+ names in my address book....

HT5548 MacBook Pro w/ 10.8.3. My search field won't take any entry now. It used to. I don't think I changed anything.

Recently I found that I could no longer enter text in the search field of Launchpad. To the best of my knowledge I haven't made any changes recently that would affect it.
Rebooting doesn't change anything.
Any thoughts?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
