Display of Spotlight search results

Morning.
How can I enable the Finder to show (a) the created date and (b) the path to all search results of a Spotlight search?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

you can't,
and (b) the path to all search results of a Spotlight search?
when you select an item among the search result its full path is displayed at the bottom of the search window. that's the best you can do.
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

How do I copy text from a Spotlight search result quicklook window?

Is it possible to copy text from the quicklook windows that appear when you hover over a Spotlight search result? It would be useful to be able to copy, say, a phone number or email address straight from the address book card that appears in Spotlight. The only options I see are to display the text in large type and to Facetime (for phone numbers) and to perform mapping functions for addresses; simple copying seems to be disabled for some reason.
I am using Spotlight in OS 10.7.5.
Michel Chaouli

Try this:
set the clipboard to item 1 of (get name of (static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari"))
(10906)

Spotlight search results window columns frozen

Spotlight search results window columns "Name", "Kind", "Last Opened" are sometimes "frozen" and cannot be clicked. Sometimes can be clicked.

Try deleting this file.

Spotlight Search Results - Sort by Date Modified

Running 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro.
Is there a way to sort Spotlight search results by date modified?
Am I missing something really basic or is Apple kinda going insane?
I also don't like that I can't search my files by filename without also allowing Spotlight to index the contents of my hard drive. I don't want my content indexed.
Why does Apple use AES encryption for FileVault? It has an NSA backdoor...
And while I'm at it, I can't network with my PB180 running System 7.5.5 anymore (OSX 10.2 let me).
GRRR! I hate when progress gets senile.

Rants will get you nowhere on these forums except banned.
If you want to report this to Apple, send Feedback and send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Maniplating Spotlight Search Results

When I open Entourage emails found in my Spotlight search results the date and time associated with the email automatically changes to today's date and time and the email - no matter how old it is - shows up as the first item in the list of found items. Is there any way to stop this from happening?
Also, is there a way to add columns to the search results that would show more information such as location or sender?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there any way to use Quickview from within Spotlight search results?

I'm sure this has been answered previously, but my searches came up empty....
Is there any way to use Quickview from within Spotlight search results? I'd like to be able to do a Spotlight search and hit the space bar for a quick Quickview look before actually launching the program. I'm guessing this isn't possible, but thought I'd ask...

Thanks, Kappy.
Duh...I meant Quick Look. Sorry about that.
In any event, pressing the space bar in Spotlight just puts a space in the Spotlight search box - it doesn't open a Quick view of the highlighted item...

Spotlight search results for a contact no longer display details

3GS software ver 3.1.3
new problem with spotlight/search/contacts/results:
I use spotlight to search on a contact, select the result.
Normally it would display the details of the contact I have chosen. I like this.
Now it is going to the All Contacts function. This is a problem for me.
I have looked in this forum and the user guide for an answer.

Actually there have been complaints off and on for ages that keyword search doesn't work at all, though you say that it was working for you. Certainly it isn't producing a result now, though searching on your title does. I'm afraid that all this is internal to the Store - the ranking and search methods are opaque and despite various websites claiming to explain them, nobody really knows except Apple, and as usual they aren't talking. There isn't really anything you can do about this.

Spotlight Search Results - Missing Items

When I search in Spotlight I've noticed that it's not including images in the results that I would expect to find there. e.g. If I type Coniston in the spotlight search field it doesn't find any of the 62 images in iPhoto (6.0.6(322)) that have the word Coniston in their title. I have got images checked in the Spotlight preferences. Can someone help?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to disable the “Trim Duplicates” in SharePoint 2013.
In SharePoint 2013, the “Remove Duplicate Results” option has been removed, but we can use the “View Duplicates Link” option.
The TrimDuplicates to specify whether to trim away the duplicate search results from the result set. TrimDuplicates is true by
default.
If you want to disable the feature, as you had said, we should export the web part and modify the
'TrimDuplicates' setting then re-upload it.

Spotlight search results depend on if a user is logged in?

I am trying to gather files to my computer with the Spotlight search. I noticed that if a user is logged in, I can see the file I'm looking for in the Results page and if no user is logged in, I can't. I want to be able to gather files whether users are logged in or not. Is there a way?
Thank you for your help

No, I don't see it in the File Search Report, whether the user is logged in or not. I still don't understand why some files show up and others don't. I have to say that I am disapointed in Remote Desktop about file search (Spotlight and Report). It is a very expensive program which our school bought primarily to be able to do File Search and I have had a lot of problems with it and have posted several times on this forum without really managing to make it work successfully.
Thank you very much for your help.

Jsf display dynamic sql search results in table

i'm making a search results page that will basically mirror the contents of a database table. i dont know what the user will search for so i need to generate the table (rows, columns) dynamically. i've used 3 days on this searching my brains out and have surprisingly not found anything helpful.
example searches:
select * from member
select * from user
select * from invoices
these tables will have completely different columns. what i've done so far is return a Collection<Collection<String>> to my backing bean. the Collection<String> are the rows, i.e. the column values.
i'm not sure now how to create a dynamic table from this. any help would be greatly appreciated. fyi, i have access to richfaces as well.

i have access to richfaces as well.Since you have access to Richfaces, try the Richfaces Datascroller component for pagination. Have a look at this link.
example searches:
select * from memberAlso, having a query like this can spell trouble in the long term if your website is an Internet application. Even if it's an Intranet application, it's still bad if you have to display everything from a table like the example you provide. Best practice is to give the users a minimum no of rows initially - say ten - then give them an option to fetch the next ten rows through pagination. You might also need a WHERE clause to restrict the amount of data being queried from the database.

Spotlight Search Results Incomplete

Hi,
we run 10.6.8 server on xServe. QNAP NAS server is connected via iSCSI and it is shared as a network share for network users.
We have troubles searching documents by spotlight, because results are still incomplete.
We walked through all processes we found but finaly results are not ralible.
What we found is, that it works fine during spotlight re indexing process. But when re indexing finished it is incomplete again.
For example if I want to search documet "concept_001.pdf" it works during re indexing. It is founded and it is ok.
But when I put the same request after re indexing is finished, it doesn't work.
Any idea?
Thanx.

Back up all data.
In Contacts, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Contacts Archive
from the menu bar, and save the archive to your Desktop.
If you use iCloud, disable contact synchronization in the iCloud preference pane. When prompted, click Delete From Mac. Re-enable synchronization. Wait for the contacts to re-synchronize, then test.
If you don't use iCloud, or if the contacts fail to synchronize, delete all contacts, then select
File ▹ Import…
and import the archive you created. It may take a few seconds for the contacts to be indexed. Test.
If you don't like the results of this procedure, quit the application. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Restore the folder that opens from the backup you made before you started.

Spotlight Search results - how to get the "categories" view full-screen?

I don't use Spotlight that often, but when I did in TIGER I got a nice listing by category when I requested the SHOW ALL results screen. I saw results grouped by documents, folders, images, pdf, contacts etc.
Now with LEOPARD I see the categories when I search by clicking on the upper right-- but then if I choose SHOW ALL the results appear in a smart folder and they are in more or less the standard name, kind or date format-- but the wonderful categories listing (as in the dropdown menu listing) is no longer there. IS THERE A WAY to get that 'categories' listing view back?
Best regards,
Steve Schulte

Categories is gone from Leopard's Spotlight. For more on Leopard's Spotlight, see http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html and my mod to Finder's Find at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6725932 for what you can change so you can find stuff excluded by the default structure.

Hi Chasquad,
From the code in your post, you need to delete the "" after the div.
I also recommend to add this div into the <div
id="OfficeLocator">, and the code should be like this:

<div id="OfficeLocator">

<div id="OfficeLocatorValue" class="ms-srch-ellipsis" title="_#= encodedolocator =#_">OfficeLocator: <a clicktype="Result" id="NameFieldLink" href="_#= ctx.CurrentItem.OfficeLocator =#_">_#= ctx.CurrentItem.OfficeNumber =#_</a></div>
</div>

Spotlight Comments do not appear in Spotlight search results

I have a .png file on my desktop.
Right click >> Get Info
Spotlight Comments has the string 'Fruit' saved.
If I search for 'Fruit' in Spotlight I get no results, why?

Hi TD
Yes and no.
Yes it worked the way you mentioned but if I change the Spotlight Comment: on the same file to something else I can still find it via 'Fruit'. I much prefer command-space bar to call Spotlight.
How long does it take a change to a Spotlight Comment: to filter into Spotlight?
Its not the end of the world its just I was finding Spotlight really useful until I came up against this.
