Forum Search Feature Broken

Since Monday, when I use the Search feature, I get the following result:
The page caused an ESI processing exception.
I would have searched to see if others are having the problem, but the search feature is broken. :)

This happens with search This Forum. However, it seems to be ok when I choose All Forums.

Forum Search feature

I am kind of lost when I make use of Forum search.
an example -->
I am on the homepage of XI forum i.e.
Process Integration (PI) & SOA Middleware
Entering the search term in the search box and hitting <b>Go</b> button takes me to a search result page from where there is no easy way to go back to XI homepage except the Back button of browser, which loads the old content, probably its just a history.back() call..
shouldnt there be a link to the page from where we navigate to search results .... I personally do not like to click on the Back button of browser or select back from the context menu thats why...

Amol

Forum search function broken

Not sure if this the best place for this observation,
but the forum search hasn't worked for me for almost a week.

Search feature broken on this Forum!

When I use the search text box on the Director Support Forums
homepage I get:
The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected
error.
Please contact the website administrator.
The following information is meant for the website developer
for debugging purposes.
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Variable FTVAR_RESULTTYPE is undefined.
This doesn't occur if I use the 'Advanced' search option. Can
we fix this please?

I get that error using the quick search. The advanced search
works but I've never found what I'm looking for by using it. I
usually stick to a
google
search restricted by site.

Is the forum search engine broken?

Is it just me or is the search engine in this forum broken? I have tried to search for "Java","System","PrintService" etc. I everytime I get 0 results...

"Broken"? No. "Not very good"? That's a fair description.
Maybe the problem is your search. Have you tried different combinations?
Take "Java" out of the search. This IS a Java forum, after all.
What does "PrintService" bring back on its own?

Forum search is broken

Right now when I try and search the forums I get this:
Could not delete old search id sessions
DEBUG MODE
SQL Error : 1016 Can't open file: 'phpbb_search_results.MYI' (errno: 145)

Someone may want to fix that

Hey, I tired to search google for this error and it seems that it's connected with mysql user permissions or something like this. The "funny" thing is if I ask google about the error like this and try to click next page (second) google says:
We're sorry...
... but we can't process your request right now. A computer virus or spyware application is sending us automated requests, and it appears that your computer or network has been infected.
We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your computer is free of viruses and other spurious software.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.
:-) Of course I can use google for other searches without any problems so I guess the problem might be more complicated. It's annoying but you can still see the new posts as yellow (orange?) icons if you click forums one by one.

IE-11 Image Search Feature Broken

I've used Google as my default search engine with IE for years. When I search for images of plants, I have it set to load 100 images per page. If I click on an image a few screens down from the top of the page, a larger image opens for
preview and provides the option to go to that site. However, a few days ago, that behavior changed. Now when I click on an image, it jumps me to the top of the page and I have to scroll back down to the original location. Cleaning up
temp files, etc. did not help. I also tried resetting the browser to original, and then did a system restore to a date prior to the problem. All failed to resolve the issue. However, when I installed Google's browser for a test, the
problem was resolved. Any ideas to fix?

Your question is off-topic here. If there is a web page that lead you to here, tell its author that the instruction is wrong. To report a Google search
results page that doesn't look right in Internet Explorer, visit https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/3425345?&ref_topic=3285072#ts=3502652.
This forum is for helping web developers in writing better web sites for Internet Explorer. Looks like Google needs some help here, not you.
Note one web site work in one browser but not another does not mean the browser is at fault. For example, the Windows Update site does not work in Chrome or Firefox because the web site's server side does browser detection and refuse to work with these browsers.
Google has similar policies for certain version of Internet Explorer. Search "Google internet explorer support" for Google's support policies for Internet Explorer.

Apple TV search features broken

Used to be on a search under movies your could search and the search would only return movies. If you wanted to search for music you would start in the music and then search. Now when I select moves and search i get everything, music and movies. That is stupid. For instance start under movies, search for Frank Sinatra. Not one of his movies will come up, but 96 of his albums will. How do we get Apple to put this back the way it was before. Used to work just fine. If I am wanting to watch a movie I don't want a list of albums to come up.

it's a discontinued product so you would have to do it yourself from scratch unless you found a defect device to use parts from
I would say it was and I would say a quick google would provide some step by step dis asm of the appletv 1g thats how I discovered it had a fan inside
people also tried to put SSD disks in to replace the hd so those guides would help you too

Forum search broken!

Please see this thread in the JDeveloper forum:
Forum search broken?
For some user it works, for others not. Sure doesn't work for me.
Searching in the JDeveloper forum for "RowSetIterator" or "ViewObject" simply must return tons of results. It doesn't for me.
And when I go to my profile and search for all my messages I also get nothing.

Search feature of this forum

Anybody else notice how extremely bad the search "feature" of
this forum is? I type in one or two word phrases (such as
cfdocument align) and it almost always returns zero results
(probably 95% of the time, the other 5% are usually nothing helpful
or remotely related either). So either nobody has ever typed the
word cfdocument or align in this forum, or the search feature just
plain sucks.
Just had to vent....

Below is info from the Help/Search section that may make your
searching more productive. I get plenty of hits using
cfdocument or align
but nothing on
cfdocument and align.
Hope this helps!
From the Help/Search link:
Search Tips
The Search feature of the Adobe Forums is slightly different
from some 'natural language' search engines such as Google. You can
use Boolean logic (and, or and parentheses to group sections of
your query), which will search all keywords.
Search Example: Dog or Cat not (Bird and Cow)
These keywords will try to find messages with the word Dog or
Cat, but don’t contain both the words Bird and Cow. Note- if
the keywords you're searching on include either the word 'and' or
the word 'or', you may want to remove those words from the search
term so your search is not unnecessarily restricted.

Forum search links are broken

Is anyone else experiencing this? The forum search works fine but none of the links work. Pretty frustrating when you end up paging back through 60+ pages of postings to find the one you want to see.

Hi JJRAY,
True the links are broken at the moment. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.We would see to it this is resolved ASAP.We appreciate your patience on this.

Search feature in Forum

Earlier, it was observed that in the search feature, there was also a provision of Searching for response from particular User ID. It was a great feature in tracking & is withdrawn now. It is recommended to introduce it again.

Rajesh Banka

Dear Rob,
I am facing the same problem. But it's a clear no from the forum authorities. There could be 'n' number of reasons. But it is true that to search our own responses also, we do not have the provision.
Regards,
Rajesh Banka
Dear Moderator,
Atleast it should be possible that you do not provide user ID facility, but restict it to our own user ID, probably which will not voilate the privacy right also.
Please assist.

[Forum FAQ]How do I add a search feature in the parameter with long drop down list?

Introduction
There is a scenario that thousands of values in the drop-down of a parameter. Scrolling through the large drop down list is slow and cumbersome. Is there a way that we add a search feature in the report, so that it can filter down the values in the drop
down list to a smaller list of values?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can add a parameter with multiple keywords ahead, then all of available values which are begin with the keyword will display in the parameter list. In this scenario, we can create cascading parameters. One is a keyword parameter,
and the other parameter is based on the keyword to display the available values.
In order to enable the user to type multiple keywords, we can use the query below to create a split function which takes the list and the de-limiter as input parameters and splits all the values in the database:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitParameterValues] (@InputString NVARCHAR(max), @SplitChar VARCHAR(5))
RETURNS @ValuesList TABLE
param NVARCHAR(255)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ListValue NVARCHAR(max)
SET @InputString = @InputString + @SplitChar
WHILE @InputString!= @SplitChar
BEGIN
SELECT @ListValue = SUBSTRING(@InputString , 1, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)-1))
IF (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar))>(LEN(@InputString))
BEGIN
SET @InputString=@SplitChar
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @InputString = SUBSTRING(@InputString, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar)) , LEN(@InputString)-(CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)+ len(@SplitChar)-1) )
END
INSERT INTO @ValuesList VALUES( @ListValue)
END
RETURN
END
Use the query below create a stored procedure to return all available values for Account parameter:
create PROCEDURE sp (@keyword nvarchar(50))
AS
SELECT AccountDescription
FROM DimAccount d
inner join (SELECT [param] FROM SplitParameterValues (@keyword,',')) s on d.AccountDescription like (s.[param]+'%')
In Report Designer, select Stored Procedure as the Query type for DataSet1, then select or type sp in the drop-down list as below:
By default, there is a parameter named keyword in the Parameters pane.
Add a multi-value parameter named Account in the report, then select “Get values from a query” option for Available Values as below:

Hmmm. This didn't work. I even re-booted, and Firefox still doesn't show the search engine.
It was actually an update to an earlier engine, and I foolishly removed the old version rather than just updating it.
Is there anything elsewhere (eg. the registry) that might be preventing this?

Is the forum search broken?

Even tried searching on "Solaris" with no results.

Yes, I think you are right. It looks like the box that says "Forum Search" sends you into a search function for other Sun documents, but doesn't actually search the forums.
(BTW, I can see that they might exclude Solaris from the search since it would appear in a gazillion Sun documents -- but I tried searching for a couple of specific terms that I could see in messages, which seemed unlikely to be stop words, and got no results or only results from outside the forum)
