System Prefs search results in Spotlight always appear in Japanese ... ?

Recently I've noticed that for some reason, searching for System Prefs using Spotlight always returns the results in Japanese, whereas all of the other search results in Spotlight are in English.
Does anyone have any idea how this could happen, or how to reverse it? I've tried removing all languages except for English from the International System Prefs, but they still show up in Japanese.
Any help much appreciated.

Try re-indexing Spotlight.

Add "Save" button to search results

Hi,
a customer would like to add a "Save" button to search results to enable users to download documents in KD instead of opening them.
Results can be for instance from a crawled file system.
How can I do it?
Thanks.
Jacopo

As long as your list is bring crawled, which it must be, your custom columns should get mapped to managed properties. You can now update your Search Results Web Part's Item Display Template to retrieve this additional particular managed property,
and then display it if there is a value.

@EricOverfield
The library is being crawled and I added the column to "Managed Properties" on the search settings on O365 and mapped it to the actual column. Now I don't know how to add it on the "Search Result" Webpart to include the Column Property before
displaying the name of the document

Organize search results in spotlight's finder search function ?

Hello.
The search results in the finder search window (cmd-f from within finder)—is there a way to organize them just like the files in any finder window (name, date, size, kind … ) ?
(I guess I should add that I of course know there is some organization offered by the sideboard on the right in the actual spotlight window. But this one offers other and in may cases less effective criteria.)
Would be very useful. Thanks a lot.

If the ⌘F search results are in a "brushed metal" window in the "Finder", the window should have buttons for "Icon" and "List" view near the top left edge, just like a regular "Finder" window (unless you have customized your "Finder" toolbar to remove those buttons). Switching to "List" view should allow the full choice of sort criteria to be selected from "View Options" (⌘J).
If the window is in "aqua" mode (no toolbar or sidebar), it is still possible to switch to "List" view from the menu bar - "View" > "as List" (⌘2).

How to prevent Mac OS X's Finder not to show search results from other accounts?

Hello.
How do I have Mac OS X 10.8.3 not show searched file results, on Mac, from other accounts with a standard account? I noticed a standard account found files (test.txt in an admin account in a standard account) and can open them! :O
Thank you in advance.

If I'm reading your path correctly, it is because you created the folder at the root of your Home directory.
As I stated above, all users can read your home directory, in order to see into the Sites and Public folders.
Other users, including Admin users, cannot see into the default folders in the Home folder, except Sites and Public.
When you create a folder at the root of your home folder, it inherits the permissions of the parent folder, which allows everyone to read that folder.
If you create a folder at the root of your home, you have to set the permissions on it to prevent others from being able to read it.
To do so, Get Info on the folder and unlock the padlock on the Sharing and Permissions section.
Make sure you are the owner of the folder. Select your name from the list, or add it if it is not. Then, click on the gear button and if it is available, select "Make username the owner." If it is not available, you are already the owner. Also make sure you have Read & Write access. Then, select the staff group and delete it. Then, select everyone and set to No access. Then, select Apply to Enclosed from the gear menu.
To avoid all of this, make your folders inside the default folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, etc.), or one you've already change the permissions on. The Sites and Public folders are visible to all.
Interesting. I didn't want to use Apple's default folders. I want to make my own. I tried chmod -R 700 on my account and that seems to work. Is that enough? I don't see Staff anymore through Get Info.

Hi Guys,
I am using UCM 11g and I am customizing serach result page.
When we do search on UCM, we get a search result page. This search result page has a two drop downs (on the top right) "Change View" and "Search Action" in the blue strip.
I have to add one customized dropdown option in "Publish Selected", it worked well with 10g by overriding searchapi_result_menus_setup include but not working in 11G.
Appreciate your help on this, Thank you

Is there any way to solve this problem?Try this link - [http://pscode.org/jh/bin/helpsetter-apidocs.jnlp]. It is sand-boxed, like an applet. It should prompt if you want to create shortcuts, click OK/Yes.
After you run it, open the 'All Programs'/system menu. There should be an item under the 'JavaHelp System' menu for the 'JavaHelp System JavaDocs'. That link is to launch the application again. [Java Web Start|http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_webstart.xml] *(<- link)* is what installs the menus. JWS can also install menus specifically for application help.
Older applications declared the required menu items and desktop shortcut in the JNLP launch file, but JRE 1.6.0_18+ offers the IntegrationService *(<- link)* to applications, and provides feedback on success/failure. Note that some systems will ignore requests for desktop integration. Ubuntu Linux will allow for the creation of desktop shortcuts, but silently ignore requests for menu items.

Does a wireless plan allow me to add a Kindle?

I have an unlimited data plan already w/ two phones. Can I add a Kindle and is there a cost per month?

Thank you for reaching out PeternSmith. It definitely is possible to add a compatible 4G Kindle to your service plan. You have the option to add just a data plan for your Kindle, or you can provide data service through a mobile hotspot from a smartphone if you have that service available. Reach out to us at 1-800-922-0204 to find the right plan for you.

When ARD does not know Mac OS X version of machine, how to search?

I have about 40 servers I am trying to administer with ARD. A bit more than a half dozen are 10.4, a few more than a half dozen and 10.5 and about a dozen are 10.6. And a bunch are listed in ARD as "-" in the "Mac OS Version" column.
I can create a smart list to track the Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard machines. How do I create a smart list to track the others?
It would be easier if I could have the Tiger list be all machines with version matching "10.4.*", but I cannot seem to put a wildcard character there. But if I could, I could use (not Tiger and not Leopard and not SnowLeopard). Is there a reason why both (version < 10.4) and (version > 10.6) return nothing. Either the null should sort high or sort low, but it seems to be neither. Any suggestions?

I think the problem is slightly more than that. I noticed something. Some of our servers have 2 ethernet cards and, in some cases, we access the machine via different names. So, for example, host1 and host2 point to different IP addresses but are the same machine. What I am noticing is that host1 (arbitrarily chosen) correctly identifies the version, but host2 does not.
Yet, you can see the output below. Looks the same to me.

Raw Search Terms for "Spotlight Comment" and "Locked" Status

Is it possible to do a raw search for a specific Spotlight Comment. I know the option exists in the Other… dialog box, but I need to find files that do not contain comments which is not choice.
Also, is there any way to find only files that are unlocked?

If you go to Others and select Raw Query you can use it find items with a specific comment, and items without any comment. For example, if you have the comment "testme" in the Spotlight field you would paste this into the Raw Query field:
kMDItemFinderComment == "testme"
and all files with that comment would be found. To find files in a folder that contain NO comment at all, you would use this:
kMDItemFinderComment != "*"
Be warned though: when I tried this on a folder with only 5 items in it, 4 with comments and one without. it worked, returning the lone uncommented file, but it took an amazingly long time to do so (perhaps a minute, while the search for "testme" was instantaneous).
The "File readable" and "File writeable" functions shown in Others, which presumably are what one would use to find locked files, simply do not work. This is not surprising since the information about whether a file is locked or not does not in fact appear in a file's metadata. I guess that will be a future addition. You can use find in Terminal to search for files that are locked/unlocked. Let me know if you really want to do this.

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.

How do I add a column to the Result for BT111S_OPPT

Hi,
I have a requirement to include a header level partner in the Results view of BT111S_OPPT. It is already possible to search by this partner function but the partner column is not available on the view 'BT111S_OPPT/Result'. My research has pointed me toward using the "ITERATOR" but a related blog was not available and I must admit that I am rather confused as to how to use the "ITERATOR". I am assuming that I can use it to GET->CURRENT but then I don't know what to do after that.
Any help is appreciated as we are under time pressure. Thanks.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi,
iterators are normally used to convert data in lists which are already evaluated.
In your case you better add a new column to the result list node and implement the getter with your own
code. This would look quite similar like (just an example)
METHOD get_po_number_ship.
DATA:
        lv_po_number_ship TYPE crmt_po_number_ship,
        lr_current TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access,
        lr_entity TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity.
IF iterator IS BOUND.
    lr_current = iterator->get_current( ).
ELSE.
    lr_current = collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
ENDIF.
TRY.
      lr_entity ?= lr_current.
      lr_entity ?= lr_entity->get_related_entity( iv_relation_name = 'BTItemSalesSet' ).
      IF lr_entity IS BOUND.
        lr_entity->get_property_as_value( EXPORTING iv_attr_name = 'PO_NUMBER_SHIP'
                                          IMPORTING ev_result    = lv_po_number_ship ).
      ENDIF.
    CATCH cx_sy_ref_is_initial.
      RETURN.
ENDTRY.
value = lv_po_number_ship.
ENDMETHOD.

Restrict spotlight search results for pdfs

I have a great number of academic papers in pdf format. Each paper has a title, an abstract, main text and a number of references. By default spotlight wouldn't distinguish the difference between these portions. But when I type the title of paper, papers that cite that paper also shows up, which is annoy, because I actually only want to locate the paper that has the title. I'm wondering if there is a way to restrict searches in only title, abstract, main text or references in academic papers of pdf format.

Using a Finder search (command-F), which also uses Spotlight, you should be able to tailor your searches to file names as well as extensions, or other criteria.

I installed Adobe Reader to my Mac OSX 10.8... website I need it for says no.

I installed Adobe Reader to my Mac osx 10.8. It installed, I clicked "FINISHED". When I go back to the education website that I needed it for it tells me I need to agree to the Adobe licsencing agreement and reopen the browser. How do I agree to the licsensing agreement?? It never came up for me to do that. I tried to re-install but it just tells me I already have it installed.
Thanks
Dawn

You need to open Adobe Reader by itself (not in the browser), then accept the EULA.

How to add Value Table or Search Help for a field which is on Standard SAP?

Hi All,
I have a field HERST (tcode IE01) which doesnt have any value table or search Help. I have the same field in a Z table which I should display for the standard screen field in tcode IE01. So Pls suggest me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Jaker.

Hi, Tamas,
I found the reason. The function Z_WEBRFC_READ_DATA_SH had a string concatenation error.
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
The correct code is like:
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},{"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
Another question is, I can't get any words in Chinese from WebRFC. It returns error when I try it. How can I configure it?
