Find first 3 letters with Form search?

Greetings
I have a search form in which the user types the first 3
letters of a word - the results should display only those words
that begin with the letters.
What would the correct SQL format be to accomplish this?
WHERE myword LIKE '%#Trim(FORM.Keyword)#%' ?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks again for your quick response, Dan.
Here is the error message I am getting (MS Access DB):
Error Executing Database Query.
Missing ), ], or Item in query expression
'upper(substr(vendor_company,1, 3) = ?'.

Does anyone know what the file "memeodhelper is? It's preventing me from backing up my home directory. I can't even find the file with search. Hidden somehow?

I would like to backup my Mac by copying my home directory to an external disk. When I try this, it always gets hung up on a file called "memeodhelper" saying I don't have permission to access the file and the paste stops. Can't find the file with a search. Any ideas?

Hi Ray,
Spotlight is no good for finding anything Apple thinks you don't need to find.
You can "fix" that error...

Or likely trash it...

Firefox no longer gives automatic prompts when I type in first few letters of a search - even though my browsing history is being recorded, and "Remember search and form history" is ticked in the Privacy preferences: what's gone wrong?

Firefox has recently stopped giving (personalised) automatic prompts when I type in the first few letters of a search. What does come up is a long list of possible search subjects - but these are very general and don't reflect my own personal browsing history. My browsing history IS being recorded, however, and the "Remember search and form history" box is ticked in the Privacy preferences.
I'm not using the "Private Browsing" option.
There are two MacBooks in the house, sharing one wireless router. This problem has cropped up on both laptops - mine and my wife's - at around the same time.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Help with fuzzy search (doesn't work if change order of certain 2 letters)

Hi,
need some help with fuzzy search. It's pretty simple - we use fuzzy search on varchar2 columns that contain first name and last_name. The problem is that i don't really understand why it can't find name in some cases.
Say i want to search for 'Taekpaul'. Then
where CONTAINS(first_name,'fuzzy(TAEKPAUL)',1) > 0 - works
where CONTAINS(first_name,'fuzzy(TAEKPALU)',1) > 0 - works (changed order of the 2 last letters)
where CONTAINS(first_name,'fuzzy(TEAKPAUL)',1) > 0 - doesn't work, finds 'Tejpaul' that is completely unrelated (changed 2nd, 3rd order)
How can i make it find 'Taekpaul' even if i search for TEAKPAUL? Is it related to index? Like Text index should be created with some different parameters?
Thanks!

Thanks, adding '!' worked :)
Do you know where i can read more about '!' and other special characters? I think i didn't see anything like that here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/text.101/b10730/cqoper.htm#BABBJGFJ
I also started using JARO_WINKLER_SIMILARITY function that is actually better i think for what i do. But it's very buggy - sometimes Oracle crashes and kills connection when you try to use it.
Ahha, it's here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/text.102/b14218/cqspcl.htm
So, ! is soundex. Whatever it means..

Forcing autocomplete in location or search bar to go by first letters

When i start typing the first letter in the search or location bar, I want the results to start by the same first letter and not include results that has the same letter in the middle of the title.
For example, when I type in t for twitter.com, I get these results:
megamillions pasT winning numbers
asian salad with soy ginger vinaigreTte
You get the idea, and usually twitter is at the bottom of the list of results. I tried just history, just bookmarks, and history and bookmarks. Nothing works. I have bookmarks in my folder, but I find it quicker to just type in the first letter or two and go from there.
Thanks,
cheanny

For the location bar you can look at this pref:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.urlbar.matchBehavior
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
For the search bar this is not possible.
There might be an extension that supports this feature, so you can search the Add-ons website.

I would like to fill up the following pages. If I fill up the first fields with some letters, they multiplay each other in several other fields, there I don't want them. Can you help me?

You can't change that, and we can't either. It's an error in the creation of the form. ALL of the fields that "auto populate" have the same name and description, so when you fill one, the rest fill by default with the same info. You'll need to contact the author of the form and inform them of the error.

[CS3 JS] How to search for accented letters with GREP

Hello,
In the following script I have two words, each that has an accented letter. It appears that neither in the script nor in the Find and Replace dialog that GREP will recognize words with accents. It will replace accented characters however. I can do a search for words with no accents but that will lead to trouble when I only want to change the word if it has an accent.
Any advice would be great!
Tom
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var rawWordsAccented = ["André","Barrës"]; //find these words
var rawWordsAccentedDHyphens = ["~-Andr\\x{00E9}","~-Barr\\x{00EB}s"]; //replacement words
for(var k =0; rawWordsAccented.length > k; k++){
    var numWords = theGrepChanger(myDoc,rawWordsAccented[k],rawWordsAccentedDHyphens[k]);
    }//end for k
function theGrepChanger(docRef,grepFindIt,grepChangeIt){
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = grepFindIt;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = grepChangeIt;
    var arrGrepFindIt = myDoc.changeGrep();
    return arrGrepFindIt;
}//end theGrepFinder

John, perhaps it works in CS5 but not in CS3.
Peter, the problem is not in the replacement word or looping through that array backwards or forwards. The problem is finding a word with an accented character using the GREP mode.
In using the Find/Replace dialog I cannot find André. Nor Andr\x{00E9}, using Unicode. So if the dialog won't work it appears a script won't work. If I use "Andre" in the Search field it will find "Andre" and "André."
However I did find that if I change the GREP function in the script to the text mode I can find only words with accented characters and then replace them to my heart's content.
Tom
function theTextChanger(docRef,textFindIt,textChangeIt){
    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = textFindIt;
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = textChangeIt;
    var arrTextFindIt = myDoc.changeText();
    return arrTextFindIt;
}//end theTextChanger

Firefox 8.1 downloaded today. Clearing everything, the Form & Search History will NOT clear. In 8.0 it did. Why now with 8.1?

Same question which I've already posed. IF I can be supplied with a working email addy - I'd be happy to include some screen shots illustrating exactly what it is I'm asking here... Please send me an email addy to continue. Thanks.
I mechanically clear EVERYTHING often when browsing. What I'm getting live arrows on for a Clear are:
Browing & Download History
Form & Search History (this is the ONE NOT working, no hot arrow)
Next is Cookies
then Cache
Then Active Logins
Then finishes up with Site Preferences.
IT IS THE FORM 7 SEARCH HISTORY which won't clear using new Firefox 8.1 where in 8.0 it did. Thanks.

You can attach images to posts (and replies) here. There's a box to upload them.
There was only one mac-affecting change made in 8.0.1 which involved preventing a crash in the latest Java plugin. No other changes were taken. If you don't have the option to clear Form & Search History, this may be because you don't have any? Another possibility is that you have an extension that's preventing it. Can you go to Help > Troubleshooting information and paste here the extensions section?

In search in Safari on my Ipad how do I stop multiple first letters typed

In the search feature of Safari how do I stop multiple first letters from automatically being entered. Example if I entered an A as the first letter it enters automatically 3 A's, This is frustrating to always have to delete 2 of the letter A to be able to continue entering my Question or what ever I may be searching for? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I don't know what you are getting multiple letters in the search (URL) field in Safari. If you get double caps or double letters when you type in the text area here in the ASC forum, that is because of a bug in the Jive Software that Apple utilizes to run the forum. There is nothing at all that you can do to fix that.
If you really are getting double or triple letters in the URL field - that is the search field in Safari in iOS 8, try clearing Safari. Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data. Then reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

JDeveloper freezes with some searches in "Find in Files"

With some searches in "Find in Files", JDeveloper simply freezes as it hits a file with the keyword. With other searches, it finishes okay. Any idea why that might be?
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0.

How to use "FIND FIRST OCURRENCE...." with a very long text

When I store a certain text in variable p_texto -> FIND FIRST OCURRENCE is ok; sy-subrc = 0.
When Instead of assigning a text I read a long text from an excel into p_texto variable ->
FIND FIRST OCURRENCE is not working; sy-subrc = 4.
DATA: p_texto(5000).
DATA: posicion TYPE match_result.
p_texto = 'HI THIS IS THE FIRST LINE#AND THIS ONE THE SECOND LINE'.
FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '#' IN p_texto RESULTS posicion.
How could I manage this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.

As I told you before, the problem is not the length of the line.
The problem is that you see in your variable "#", but it is not "#". It could be a carriage return, a tabulator or other character that doesn't know how to display.
In my opinion you should search for cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.

Andrea

Help with my first ever PDF form

Hi there,
In my PDF form there are a couple of time fields. I would like some help on couple of things as this is my first ever PDF form:
Display current time in format HH:MM when the document is opened.
I would like to display a default value for time such as 00:00. Is that ok? How generally default time is displayed?
If someone enters anything else in time field, I get a default message such as ‘The value entered does not match the format of the field [fieldname]’ Is there a way where I can customize this error message. If so, how can I do it.
Thanks for your help. Please explain your solution in steps as this is my first form that I'm creating in Acrobat 9.
Joe Green

1. Place this script in the doc-level (of course, edit the field name as required):
this.getField("CurrentTime").value = util.printd("HH:MM", new Date());
2. Just enter that value as the Default Value of your fields.
3. Only if you use a custom format and validate scripts, which is quite a bit of work...
