Help starting off with SharePoint Search

We are looking at ways to help narrow down search results. The system is being implemented to manage Policies, the managers manage policies using Word Documents and are stored in a Library, and the published documents are saved as PDF files and are stored
in another library.
is it possible to make it so end users can search only the published policy folder and give the managers to search both (ideally separately, depending on what they are working on). We are basically looking for ways to create more managed search
environments.

The way SharePoint Search works it to only show results for the "stuff" to which a user has access. So the users can get only those results for which they are intended to get. Other than that you can set refinement to get differnt types of metadata
filtered in search result.

Help starting off with Flash animations?

I just started to make flash animations using Adobe Flash CS4, but there's something I just don't understand.
To create an animated object, I know I have to create a new movie clip symbol, animate it, and then put it in the main scene. But when I drag the symbol from the library to the main scene, only the first frame of the animation is copied! How can I copy the entire animation of a movie clip symbol to the main scene?

If I'm correct, you say that I should press enter to play the animation, but pressing enter does nothing when I'm in the main scene (in fact, the Play command under the Control tab is greyed out). Right now I can see how my animation is going by going to Control -> Test Movie, but then it creates a swf file and then plays it, which means I can't play from a specific frame (right now my animation is small so it's ok, but having to go through all of it when it's longer will be problematic!). Anyway, thanks for the replies.

New here... question to start off with

Hi everyone...
New to the forum and excited to learn some things with Dreamweaver.
A question to start off with.... How does one program Dreamweaver so that it will automatically format in different browsers (sizes). Is this even possible?
cheers...

Read post #3 again... the part about 100%
Also... lots of tutorial links
As well as the links below - another way to learn (including anyone else's bad habits) is to find a page you like, and then tell your web browser to show you the code view for the page and/or do a "Save As" and save the page to your computer to then copy & paste code segments into your file (in IE click View at the top, select Source from the options)

I keep getting the Firefox start page with Google search. How do I get my homepage back?

When I click the Mozilla Firefox icon, instead of my homepage I get a starter page with Google search. How can I get rid of the starter page and get my homepage back?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started about a week and a half ago.

Hello Linda.
I fear your problem may be deeper than your homepage gone missing, but you can change your homepage easily by going into Tools > Options > General and entering the address you want in the "Home Page" field.
I should warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment is outdated and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It's completely free, as always. You can get it through Firefox update service (Help > Check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com

Starting off with Illustrator, best training?

I'm starting off with Illustrator and want to get some opinions about learning resources.
Has anyone tried out: http://www.vectordiary.com/ ?
They have a very affordable plan at around $ 25 / year. And it looks like there are good tutorials on there.
I'll consider Lynda.com but I'm on a tight budget, so $ 25 a year is a little much right now.
Also which book would be best for a beginner?:
Adobe Illustrator CC on Demand
Illustrator CC: Visual QuickStart Guide
Illustrator CC Digital Classroom ( most expensive )
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I really want to get into Illustrator seriously and I don't want to waste my time on a confusing training book.
Thanks,
Ricky

A java book called:
Java How To Program (Covers Java 2 Introducing Swing) by Deitel & Deitel is good for starting off.
if you wanna get a free online tutorial. http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/
is definately a good choice. or you can download this tutorial from this URL:

I'm confused. Are you saying that your mac came with an older version of OS X, but you want to be able to use OS X Lion, which you downloaded from the App store? If this is not the case, what do you mean by "I downloaded os x but my laptop started off with os x lion and i want os x lion back"? Specifically, what do you mean by "I downloaded OS X" if your mac came with Lion?

Help authoring tools with SharePoint

Long time ago I used to use Help Authoring tools such as RoboHelp and ForeHelp. These were for Visual Basic applications. Wondering what would be a good help authoring tool for SharePoint 2010 applications that can help users understand SharePoint
features? Thanks so much.

Starting off with Game Center - cannot search for Games

Hello. This will be obvious to existing users! I have set up as a user with Game Center and wish to search for Games Center-compatible games. Tap on Games - yes. Tap on Search. Er..no. I have Games Rcommendations in a grid - nothing else. No buttons, no search capability. I have obviously missed something. Can anyone help?

Hi and thanks for your reply. p296 of the iPad user guide specifies that in the App Store you tap Games then Find Game Center Games and it is this option which doesn't seem to exist (unless I've missed something).

Why modification protected PDF documents cannot be indexed by IFilter 11 with SharePoint Search?

Hello everyone!
I have a SharePoint farm which stores a big number of protected PDF documents. Those PDF documents are protected against modification and printing! They allow copy of content and screen readers though.
I had IFilter 9.0 installed and I saw that none of my protected documents could be found... I decided to upgrade the IFilter to its latest version (11) in order to be sure it was not something which was already fixed.
Problem is that even with IFilter 11, my protected PDF documents are still not indexed! Is that a limitation of the IFilter? What kind of security configuration does the IFilter component supports?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Carlos

I will try to be the most complete possible on the security settings of my document:
I do NOT ask a password in order to open the file
I do ask a password in order to modify the document:
Printing allowed: NONE
Modification allowed: NONE
Activate the copy of the text, pictures and other content: Checked
Activate the access to the text by screen readers: Checked
Options
Compatibility is set on Acrobat 7 and later
Encrypt the entire document option is checked
When I apply those settings, save the document and then open the security settings tab with Acrobat Pro I see that everything is forbidden except the three following options:
Copy of the content
Copy of the content for accessibility
Extraction of the pages
When I close the document and open it again with Acrobat Pro or Reader I see that only two options are enabled this time:
Copy of content
Copy of content for accessibility
So basically it seems the PDF document looses the Extraction of the pages privilege once I close Adobe Acrobat Pro.
PS: I am translating the security options from French so they may not be the exact ones you see on your Acrobat Pro if you have it in English.

My album i purchased a few months ago is not playing all the songs anymore. It will start off with one song playing and then sometimes not even half way it jumps to another song. I havent been on Itunes in awhile to mess with anything on that.

The album is Maroon 5 new cd. If anyone had problems with that. It is the only album that is not working right.

Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out? Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device. Then restore it as a new device. If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue. They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19. Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

When the initial page is closed and new tab is opened. How can I get back my google dropdown with previous searches.

When I double click my desktop icon Mozilla Firefox. It comes back with Firefox Start screen with google search. When you go to the rightside of the text box and left click. Its gives you a dropdown window with previous searches. When the google toolbar is on, if you click on a new search. It does give a google search text box, but the downdrop searches previously done is blank or no entry on the dropdown. Before once you click the new google search, the dropdown window is populated with previous searches. Its important for me to see previous searches I did. I hope you can help me. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Shurthg.

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Creation of SharePoint Search service with the help of powershell.

Hi Team,
Upgraded WSS 3.0 to SharePoint 2013 Foundation red the SharePoint search.
We found log backup on the subjected server was failing due to database name,
which is more than max allowed legth. To fix the same, we may need to rename the
same to short name.
failed-1073548784)
Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [Search_Service_Application_AnalyticsRe..."
failed with the following error: "Invalid device name. The length of the
device name provided exceeds supported limit (maximum length is:259). Reissue
the BACKUP statement with a valid device name.
BACKUP LOG is terminating
abnormally."
Database Name :
Search_Service_Application_AnalyticsReportingStoreDB_2e7b13e23fde4c8397ed0be06474966f
To rename SharePoint Search it took more than 5 hours.
Is it possible to create SharePoint search using PowerShell and will get support from Microsoft for search application built this way ?
Please share information on how create SharePoint search using powershell.
Our environment: SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
Best Regards,
Mahesh

Team Foundation Server 2013 with SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search not available?

Hello,
we installed a TFS 2013 and let it deploy SharePoint Foundation on the same server. We are now faced with the fact that search in the teamsites is not working. I tried to get that search service up and running in a number of ways but it appears
as if there's no search service at all.
I have seen all the blogs where people are explaining how to provision a search service application for SharePoint Foundation but none of these ways work.
So, my question... is it possible to get it working?
PS. Please don't advice to post this on the TFS forum... I'm coming from there. They just closed my question as answered with the advice to post it in the SharePoint forum.
TIA,
Bart

Well,
When you go to the Search Settings in the Site Actions menu of a site, a message is displayed that there's no search Service. Which is kind of normal since there's no Search Service Application provisioned.
When I go to Central Administration => Services on Server => There's no Search Service.
When I go to Central Administration and I run the configuration wizard, there's no search service application to be provisioned.
There's a Search Administration section in the General Settings but it only displays the upper section. The lower section (with the Search Service Application information) just gives me nothing. An animated loading icon.
I tried to provision the services with psconfig (psconfig -cmd services -install) but there's still no search service to be found anywhere. After this, I do have a Search Host Controller service but when I try to start it in Central Administration, it just
gives me an error.
I'm starting to think it's not a full SharePount Foundation which is shipped with TFS.
The only thing we want to achieve is that a user can search for a document he uploads in a team site which is created by TFS. Seems not possible... unless I'm missing something here.
