"Exact Search" problems (still)

Saw a post about a month ago indicating that "Exact Search" returns non-revelant items.
It still has a problem.
When searching for (example) "scripting additions", hits include anything with only the word scripting,
anything with only the word additions,
anything with the words scripting additions,
and anything that has (double quotes)scripting, or
additions(double quotes).
And here's another "hit"
!!! I know that's a trite word to use but I can't contain my excitement. I did a Google search for "invisible" and "AppleScript" and after going through 10 pages of links, I concluded that it couldn't ...
Hardly a hit...

Hi Tom,
Veeerrry Interesting (as Artie Johnson used to say)...
This morning as I am attempting to give you an example, I find that the search seems to be functioning as it should... Could I have been tired last night? (I was, but not that tired!)
All the exact searches returned info that I would have expected...although I do see that information not relevant to the search is sometimes highlighted in yellow in the initial search result window (quotes, or single words of the phrase being searched for):
Searching for "Applescript Folder", one of the hits was:
RE: One touch Internet connecting
Posted on: Nov 1, 2005 9:10 PM, by user: Niel -- Relevance: 41%
your /Applications/AppleScript folder, and paste the following into the window: tell application "Internet Connect" connect as user "username" to telephone number "phone number" with password "password"
Every double quote in the above hit is highlighted. If the actual word "Applescript Folder" had not been in the first two lines of the hit, it would make this hit look bogus (only quotes found)...

  • Problem in exact search option

    hi all,
    We have created an index with fuzziness = 0.7.
    There is only one document in the datasource which contains the word
    CHEMICAL.
    Now when I am searching for "Chemica" and selecting the search method as 'exact' the result is containing one entry "CHEMICAL" which we expect should not come as there is no exact word "CHEMICA" in the document.
    And when we build two indexes with fuzziness 1 & 0.7 respectively and searching for 'exact' on both the indexes ,the result  is returing the same "chemical" entry when searched for "chemica".
    Now, if we search the same in the index with fuzziness = 1 then we get the result expected that no document found.It means the exact search works for this index.
    Can we not search for the exact word when the index is built with fuzziness < 1 or when we are using two or more indexes with one fuzinness=1 and other less than 1 ?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Yogesh

    Hello,
    because of performance reasons, also for more than one index only one search call is send to the Trex server. Therefore always the lowest fuzziness is used for all indexes. That means you cannot search on one index with fuzziness 1 and on another with a lower fuzziness.

  • Mail search problem

    Prior to upgrading to Yosemite, mail search results allowed me to find where a specific email was stored in my folders.
    When I would click on the folder into in the upper right hand corner the specific folder location would be highlighted.
    In the example below you can see my search criteria and the resultant message with the specific info about which folder contains the message, in this example "FLASHLIGHT & BATTERIES". Since I upgraded to Yosemite I can no longer find the folder for a specific email by clicking on folder name.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    I have this exact same problem. After upgrading to to the new OS X I can no longer search my email. Not by email address or name or keyword. Nothing.
    VIPs while still tagged as VIPs no longer show up in the VIP section either. Says I have NO VIP mail despite having 4 unread in my mailbox.
    Spotlight doesn't worth either so I wonder if they are connected? My computer will index if I restart it. But if it goes to sleep it wipes the indexing and I can no longer search my email or spotlight again.

  • My firefox crashed when upload file on our web based application. This happen on two PC, even during firefox safe mode the problem still exist. But the problem

    Dear All,
    My firefox (version 23 on win 7) crashed when upload file on our internal web based application. This happen on two PC, even in firefox safe mode the problem still exist. So, my first conclusion the problem nothing to do with extension. here the crash ID https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/81220865-36c0-4e10-a484-6d27e2131023 and https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/86d2b779-9730-4d2c-b276-a86d42131023. I wonder if this happen because jquery modul in our web based application. But when I tried on my laptop, the problem dissapear. I tried to replicate same situation on different server, I mean I put the exact same application source to other server, never meet the same problem. Thus, I suspect may be it related to antivirus that installed in our network which is kaspersky. I am googling, never meet the clue.
    If you meet the same problem, please help me.
    I am so sorry for my poor english.

    The crashes are a problem with the winhadnt.dll file (OCular Agent from TEC Solutions Limited) as you can see in the crash reports.

  • Calendar search problem

    Version 10.8.4 on iMAC. When doing a search on Calendar it will show all events except those in one particular calendar. That calendar is checked like the others. 14 total calendars. Any idea what to do?

    I have the exact same problem.  For example I' ll type in a client's name under Text and then click on calendar in the search app.  It'll show  "Finished (7)" but when I click on Expand it says *No Appointments*
    Can any techno guru's out there help us??

  • Semantic Search and Exact search

    Hi,
    We have implemented semantic search for our trex like it is described in the HowToGuide.
    We defined a lot of synonyms and it works fine.
    But,
    we expected, that the semantic search is an extension to the linguistic search method, so that synonyms are not taken into account, if we use the exact search method. But trex always searches for synonyms.
    When a user uses the exact search method he doesn't want to search for synonyms.
    How can we implement, that trex only searches for synonyms, if the automatic or linguistic search method is used?
    Maybe someone has an idea.
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Sven

    Hi Sven
    I have implemented the same synonym search as you mentions, and I noticed the same problem.
    Unfortunately I have never stumpled across a workaround for this issue.
    Lets hope that either Mikhail Sirotkine or Matthias Röbig-Landau from development sees this question and answers it. I believe they should know the answer.
    Kind regards,
    Martin

  • I am not able to launch FF everytime i tr to open it, it says FF has to submit a crash report, i even tried doing that and the report was submitted too, but stiil FF did not start, and the problem still persists, please help me solve this issue in English

    Question
    I am not able to launch FF everytime i try to open it, it says FF has to submit a crash report,and restore yr tabs. I even tried doing that and the report was submitted too, but still FF did not start, and the problem still persists, please help me solve this issue
    '''(in English)'''

    Hi Danny,
    Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
    but not 180, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
    =COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
    or
    =SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols.  Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center.  I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

    Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center.  I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

    A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
    First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I mean that i phone take time to open apps ,contact ,etc why? i close all apps and the problem still?

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

  • MacBook Pro underwent several repairs, problems still persisting. What should I do?

    I own a 2010 17" MBP. I have upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB, removed the optical drive and installed the optibay cover (1TB HDD in the optical bay slot and 300GB SSD in the primary). Approximately about a few months before my extended warranty was up, I began experiencing issues and eventually, I was unable to start my computer at all. No fans spin up, no boot screen, no indication the machine in on. The only thing that was functioning was the battery indicator LEDs on the side.
    Background (not relevant): This is my primary mobile machine. I own a few desktops I've assembled myself and the MBP. I've used the laptop in several cities and the only repair I've had before this was the display. It had severe light bleeding issues. I take care of my laptop and I've done the upgrades as mentioned above. I actually clean out the dust every 4-6 months or so. It's actually quite amazing how much dust can accumulate in the computer.
    Trip #1: Took it to an apple store for repair, the tech told me the logic board had failed and they would have to send it out for repair. They replaced the logic board and the hard drive (apparently bad blocks showed up in the test). Got my laptop back in a little under a week and computer was working great. A couple weeks later, my applecare has expired and the computer begins to shut down randomly.
    Trip #2: Go back to the apple store and explain my situation. The genius is curious since the chance of two faulty logic boards is pretty slim. She thinks it might be an issue with the power button itself so she opens up the bottom and attempts to short out the starter pins to start the computer. Nothing happens. She says they will likely have to replace the logic board again and this time the computer will undergo deeper testing to ensure it's good to go. I say great and luckily they have the parts at the store so turnaround time should be quick. Got it back, everything is fine, but again after a few weeks the computer shows the exact same problems.
    Trip #3: Somehow the computer comes back to life when I show it to the genius. It boots up just fine. This is the same person I saw from Trip 1 so he's somewhat familiar with the situation. He hooks up the computer and runs the diagnostic. Thermal sensors near the magsafe port is too hot so he says that might the cause all along. He also says that it might be something to do with components under the keyboard? I don't know... Got my computer back yesterday and they ended up replacing the logic board again along with the magsafe board. I used it during the night and once again the computer shut off randomly. I'm sensing some impending doom here, but hopefully it trudges through.
    If I add up all the repair costs that Apple has done so far, it's basically the cost of the computer. One display replacement, 3 logic boards, a hard drive, and a magsafe board along with all the labor...
    It is becoming extremely irritating to keep going back to the Apple store to get my machine fixed and I cannot keep taking time every other week or so to get it taken care of. I would like to sell the computer and just buy a new one, but who is going to buy a computer with so many issues right after the warranty is gone (all repairs have been free due to the 90-day grace period from a repair). And I won't omit the fact about the repairs either since it's a crummy thing to do and they would be able to find out anyway if a tech at an Apple store looked it up.
    Can anyone tell me what my options are if the computer fails again? Or will I just have to endure my computer continually eating logic boards?

    Ok.
    Go into Disk Utility, and make sure you select your external hard drive.
    There should be 4 tabs, one being erase. I have taken a screenshot to show you what it should be set to (obviously name it what you like), and set the format to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) as per the example below & after double checking your in the right drive, you can hit erase. And you're done! *hopefully*

    Hi saiyed adil, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it. 
    It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

  • IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

    1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
    2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use, 
    3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
    4. After  5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
    5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
    6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
    7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
    8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
    9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
    10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
    KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

    "I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
    Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_

    The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.
