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 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.

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.

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 It was a great feature in tracking & is withdrawn now.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.

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?

Looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature (unlimited)

Hi dudes,
As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature without any restriction on the number of notes or any other major restriction. I already use HiDisk (which lacks search feature), and security note+ (which has limitation on the number of notes). I also have used My Disk which its search feature doesn't work correctly (it's buggy).
Thank you.

One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

Is the search feature no longer working?

I have been trying to search the KBase for answers to posters questions but no matter what text I type in I simply get sent to a page that asks me to select a country, when I do it simply takes me to the main forum page. The same thing happens on the main forum page also. No matter what you do it won't work. If you are in a specific forum and use the search feature it will work within that forum but I cannot get it to work using the advanced search or on a search for a particular Kbase article. Even some of the links to kbase articles that I had return me with the same error. In fact, all of them do.
It seems a shame that all that knowledge is going to waste!!
Is there any idea what is happening and a timetable as to when it will be operational again?

Hi Al --
I've experienced this, too. I don't know the cause, but a work-around is, when you get that "select a country page," simply hit the "back" button on your browser so that you're once again on the search page and then hit the search button again.
It's worked for me in the past and I just tried it again just now to make sure and it still works.

Can you add a search feature an HTML webgallery?

This is a two part question.
I created an HTML webgallery using the Bridge CS4 output module <awesome tool!> I intend to link this to my company website.
Q#1: Is there a way to include the filename for each image *without* including all the camera and other image data?
This would enable our customers to see our product item number under each photo.
Q#2: Is there a way to add a search feature?
I don't know where this would be / could be accomplished.Bridge, Flash, directly in the code? I tried the metadata templates but wasn't successful w/that.
The goal would be to be able to search for an item number that links to the photo(s) in the gallery.
Thanks.

Question #1 - I believe there is already a script that will do that. Check the Bridge Scripting Forum.

HELP: New Search feature in 3.0 is TOO good

Upon using the SEARCH feature I have discovered my emails are still available for the past 7 months!!! I thought I erased them off the Ipod....so my question is how do I remove them from being searched?
The Calendar and Contacts list is great..... but I don't want/need access to all my old emails and certainly don't want precious space on my Ipod Touch (2G) to be storing old emails.
Thanks for any answers!!!
Stan

Thanks for the reply.
Well, after perusing the forum for similar requests---it seems that the Ipod Touch is storing the emails, calendar info, etc,...in the FREE SPACE on the Touch memory. The ONLY way to kill/erase it is to:
1) Overwrite it by adding more content (i.e. load a couple movies)
2) Delete your email account and then re-add it,
3) Purchase an app called IErase which promises to erase the FREE SPACE...but it is $7......that's ridiculously priced.
Not sure whether to do (1) or (2).........but thats what I have uncovered thus far.
Sincerely,
Stan

The ipad safari on facebook will echo characters on the search feature. Please fix this STUPID error! At the least, investigate it and come to a suitable response. Stupid things like this are making me lose faith and interest in Apple products.

Make the Forum Search Tool useful

The current Forum Search Tool is nearly useless. Please add the following features to make it a functional tool:
1. Logical operators - i.e. allow the following searches: cow AND chicken, cow OR chicken, cow NOT chicken (or -chicken)
2. Quoted text to search for exact phrases - i.e. allow the following search: "my chicken says moo"
3. Results with date ranges - i.e. allow the following search: weird chicken, Results before 04/01/2012 or after 04/01/10 or between 04/01/2010 and 04/01/2012
4. Mix it up! "My chicken says moo" AND "purple chicken feed" -cow, results after 12/23/2012
5. Search in one forum only - i.e. allow the following search: "chicken says moo" ONLY in the "Farm Animal Behavior" forum
6. Search ONLY in posts (answers and/or questions) made by a particular user - i.e. allow the following search - "purple chicken feed" posted by user "Farmer Brown" ONLY
7. Do NOT include variations of words that you "think" might be "helpful". Right now a search for the word "running" yields results that contain the following words: running, run, runs. Weeding through all the useless
"helpful" results is a huge waste of time and makes it difficult in the extreme to actually find "relevant" results. HINT: There might be an actual REASON why we want to search for "running" and
NOT "run" or "runs".
8. Please make the default operator AND instead of OR when more than one search word is used. Adding more terms to a search tool should produce FEWER, MORE REFINED RESULTS instead of MORE, IRRELEVANT RESULTS. Very few people ever want
to search on a single word only. This is especially true in a technical reference environment!
9. Sometimes I WANT a word spelled exactly as I typed it. If I get results that I do not want because I misspelled a word, I can just retype the search. If you FORCE me to use your spelling, this makes my search completely useless. Please
give us MORE options rather than less!
10. Remove search result highlighting. We don't need the words we just searched for being blasted at us in highlighted bold.
NOTE: If there are any other requests for the search tool, post them as replies and I'll add them to this list.
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

Hi,
i have posted many question but now i want to search a particular post by searching this forum but i found search is not finding in my thread rather it is searching keyword in all thread. so guide me how to search my posted question only in this
forum? who can help. please develop a powerful search for msdn forum. thanks
Searching in one forum is currently possible, you just need to make sure that you only have a single forum selected in the left rail:
This walkthrough is a bit out of date now, but it should still be helpful for selecting only a single forum:

Search and find 'open' threads: request of advanced search features

Hello,
time is passing by quickly... Hence it happens that some threads I have started with a question / problem are still open, waiting for some further investigation etc.
However, after a few days the post has disappeared from the first forum page - and soon thereafter from my memory. All I remember is that there were a few open threads
So here is my question / suggestion for the forum: A feature to list all threads I have started but not marked as solved would be quite handy in such cases... Phrased differently, I'd like to have an advanced search capability where one can not only search for a given word, but also for certain metadata such as author, solved/unsolved, etc.
Thanks and have a nice day,
Wolfgang
Solved!
Go to Solution.

RoboHelp 10 WebHelp search feature not working?

Hi all,
I am using the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 and cannot get RoboHelp 10 to generate a WebHelp product with search capabilities.
I have created a RoboHelp 10 WebHelp project and imported FrameMaker 11 files.
Everything seems okay, but when I search in Internet Explorer 10, nothing happens. I can even be on the same page as a term and enter the term in the box,
but then nothing happenns. I also tried: Opera, Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers and still no results in the WebHelp search results.
Actually, I get one word by default and that word is: "null".
Any idea on what is causing this? I have a deliverable due soon, and I need to get this search capability working.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I am using the latest patch too - RoboHelp 10.0.0.287
Regards,
Jim

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the reply. I am not sure if it is Java, although I did download Java to make sure I had the latest update. I am running on a Windows 7 64 Bit Dell Laptop with Adobe TCS 4.
I just saw a different post - but related to this post on the topic and I think it has to do something with the XML files that are created during the normal generation process.
I have a feeling that there is something wrong with my XML files and the reason I say that is because I can generate one of the sample RoboHelp projects to WebHelp and then use IE 10 to search and the results
come up right away, but when I do a WebHelp generate on my project the search does not work.
Here is that related thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798369
Search Error: Failed to initialize database
Mar 1, 2011 12:33 PM
That thread dealt with RoboHelp 8 and I am using RoboHelp 10, but I think the problem is probably the same.
My questions are as follows:
I have a customer deliverable on Monday with several hundred files and a search mechanism that does not work at all. Can I copy the search mechanism from the sample project and then put it into my project?
Are the XML files generic or specific to each project?
How many XML, Javascript and other RoboHelp type files are used to make the search functionality work? I was thinking of populating one of those sample files, that has already been started with my files to see if that would get things going in the right direction - with the idea of removing all the sample files from that project and replacing them with my files, but, I have over 400 files, including references to foldout drawings and vendor manuals (baggage files) and it would probably take too much time to make that happen.
With that said, if you or anyone else has ideas on how I could get this search engine working, I would really, really appreciate it.
My current file structure is like this:
Main Project Folder
    !ScreenLayout
    My Project File1
    My Project File2
    My Project File3
    resource
    whdata
    whgdata
    whxdata
    Frnt_Cov.htm
    Frnt_Cov_csh.htm
    Frnt_Cov_rhc.htm
    All RoboHelp graphics, javascripts and .htm files
There does NOT seem to these folders that are in the sample:
!Language!
!SkinSubFolder!
!SSL!
The !ScreenLayout! folder is the only one present. Does this have anything to do with only having MultiScreen HTML5 and WebHelp (Primary Layout) for my project settings?
Again the most notable difference I see, is between the folders NOT included in my project (!Language!, !SkinSubFolder! and !SSL!). I am not sure why these folders are not included in WebHelp.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, as well as for any suggestions that can be offered. I really need to get the search feature working by tomorrow.
Regards,
Jim

Forum Search bug

The Search feature for the forums ignores any selections for Category/Forum and always returns search criteria for ALL forums/categories. For instance, click on "Search this Forum" in this forum and type in "search category". Make sure the "Member Feedback" Category/Forum is selected and click "Search". The first entry found is an entry from the OLAP forum. It makes it impossible to find useful information about a particular topic without browsing through thousands of entries. The search feature didn't used to do this.
Thanks.

Long ago I concluded that the search function in these forums
was generally useless so I have no reason to try.
