Highlight counts as search modification?

Hi. I use Acrobat 7.
I'm an indexer, and usually I'm working from a pdf of the book. I do a lot of searching for all occurrences of a word or phrase to decide what to include. And of course, I want to highlight the words I've looked at as I go as a visual reminder of what I've done. This is just a scrap file for my use.
MY PROBLEM IS:
If I highlight a word and then go click on the next entry in the search Results box, I get the following message: "Because the document has been modified since it was last searched, the search results are no longer valid. Would you like to repeat the search?" If I say yes, each time I highlight something, I have to run the whole search again, which is very time-consuming. I've tried choosing No, but the results soon start to degrade (taking me to several lines above or below the actual location) or stop altogether, so I have to search again anyway.
Since I've done nothing to the actual text of the file, it seems to me that highlighting should not interfere with a text search. This "feature" really slows me down (and sends my blood pressure up).
Can anyone tell me (1) if there's another way to visually mark a word that doesn't muck up the text search, or (2) if this issue was corrected in later editions? I would gladly pay for the upgrade to Acrobat 9 if I knew it would fix this issue.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
When you use any of the advanced edit, comments, &/or markups tools you are physically changing the PDF.
The Catalog index is a static "snap shot"; so, if someone physically changes the "picture"
the"search engine" detects this and provides, the alert you observed.
This is/has been expected behavior. Rather desirable too. Particulary if you are the custodian of a lager eLibrary of PDFs
that sees daily usage of Search to support production work.
Note that you can continue to search for text strings. The existing index will locate them.
<edit: an alternative is not use Catalog index & use "Find" - slower, but functional>
Be well...

  • Displaying the count of search result?

    Hi,
    We have built new search pages for our client to search for candidates registering in their iRecruitment site. The client prefers to see the no of records of each search result. Typically some searches may fetch around 50000 records.
    How to achieve this. Currently we have set the VO_MAX_FETCH_SIZE for one responsibility as 50000. I think this will have a performance impact and it cannot display the exact count if it is > 50000. Is there any other way just to show the count of search records?
    thanks,
    Hem

    Henry,
    As Ram insisted before that if no. of records in your VO is more than max fetch size set in profile option, then it won't return excat number of records.You can very well use this method in normal flow, if you expect that your VO query will not return more than max fetch size records.
    Otherwise run a separate query to get total, as discussed.

  • How do I change the highlight in Preview "search" function?

    I find Preview is a great app for reading PDF documents, I prefer it to Adobe Acrobat most of the time. It also has a useful and fast Search, but .... the highlighting of found Search items in the document is USELESS!!! It is pale grey, which - when most documents are black text on white background, and with a lot of text crammed on a page - is almost impossible to see!
    I have tried Preview Preferences. I have tried System Preferences (but Preview, sadly, doesn't use SysPrefs highlight colour). How can I change the Preview highlight colour so that Search becomes a useful function instead of causing me eyestrain?

    Thank you for the quick reply, however, if I understand correctly your link is helpful for Character Fill Color, not highlights.
    Please find the quote below in this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15379?viewlocale=en_US
    "Note:   Text that you highlight by adding a color behind it (in the Format inspector) isn’t tracked in the review toolbar."

  • How to Display Record Count on Search page?

    Hi
    I am new to OAF and one of the requirement is to display record count on Search page . I followed the same steps in Emp Search page as an example and created my search page.
    I followed the following steps
    1) I created a transietn Attribute in VO by name RecordCount
    2) I had written a method in AMImpl
    public void getRecordCount() {
    OAViewObject vo = getXXG2SourceAcctSearchVO1();
    int fetchedRowCount = vo.getFetchedRowCount();
    String msg = fetchedRowCount + " are retrived by query ";
    System.out.println(msg);
    String xfetchedRowCount = Integer.toString(fetchedRowCount);
    System.out.println("xfetchedRowCount : " + xfetchedRowCount);
    OARow reportRow = (OARow)vo.createRow();
    System.out.println("in set attribute");
    reportRow.setAttribute("RecordCount",xfetchedRowCount); // I am using this way and trying to display record count into RecordCount view Attribute
    }//getRecordCount
    3) on the SearchPG, I created a new messageStyledtext by name RecordCount and assinged VO and viewAttribute accordingly
    I am not able to see record count when i run the page ?
    Am i missing any steps ?
    I see the messages in the log file but not in Record count box ?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi Anoop
    i made the code change according to you and because of the following condition, it is createing a" new row" in the search page
    Row row = vo.createRow();
    vo.insertRow(row);
    For every search it is creating a new blank row in search page .
    I did some more research and modified my code as
    public void getRecordCount() {
    OAViewObject vo = getXXG2SourceAcctSearchVO1();
    int fetchedRowCount = 0;
    fetchedRowCount = vo.getFetchedRowCount();
    String msg = fetchedRowCount + " are retrived by query ";
    System.out.println(msg);
    //vo.setMaxFetchSize(0);
    //vo.executeQuery();
    if (fetchedRowCount == 0 )
    Row row = vo.createRow();
    //row = (OARow)vo.first();
    row.setAttribute("RecordCount", "0");
    else
    String xfetchedRowCount = Integer.toString(fetchedRowCount);
    System.out.println("xfetchedRowCount : " + xfetchedRowCount);
    Row row = vo.createRow();
    //vo.insertRow(row);
    row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
    // Set the primary key value for this single-row VO.
    row = (OARow)vo.first();
    row.setAttribute("RecordCount", xfetchedRowCount);
    and in AM , I am calling this method in PFR as follows
    public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
    super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
    OAApplicationModule am1 =
    (OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    am1.invokeMethod("getRecordCount");
    now i see the record count on the search page . but after 2-3 searches, the record count value is not populating the correct value. its weird
    Any suggestions
    Thanks

  • With Firefox 5.0.1, I can no longer have search terms highlighted when I search via cache. This makes searching for key concepts impossible now. Is there a plan to fix this issue?

    In the past, before Firefox 5.0.1, I would search for key terms via the cache mode; thus, the terms would be highlighted in various colors so that I could scroll down the page and find the exact terms.
    This is no longer functioning since I downloaded 5.0.1
    I use an iMac 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1o.6.8.

    The new tab page (about:newtab) wasn't introduced until a later version of Firefox (iirc, ''Firefox 10'') , which is why that pref can't be found.
    Sounds like your father picked up some Malware.
    Maybe this is what you're dealing with.

  • Webpage not highlighted on google search list after being viewed

    I am using an Acer Aspire One netbook running XP. I do a google search using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.22 and get the usual list of search results.
    Now when I view a website from the search list and then go back to the search list there is nothing indicating that I have viewed that particular page.
    In the past once you've viewed a page from the google search list the underlined link normally changes colour is is highlighted to show that the page from the list has already been viewed.
    This enables the user to keep track on what webpages have been viewed and which ones haven't.
    I'm sure there must be a solution. I have the remember history switched on in the browser, tools/privacy window.
    Can you assist please.
    Thanks.

    Do you only have that problem on the Google site?
    Google is using a visited color (#551a8b) that is hardly distinguishable from the unvisited color (#2200cc), so may not notice it.

  • Can you make a menu for the right-click search so that when I highlight text and search, I can choose which search engine to use?

    If you Highlight text you can right-click on it to pull up a short menu. One option is "Search x search engine for 'highlighted text'" Previously, the search engine selected would be whichever search engine was selected on the search bar, so Google or Amazon.com, etc. Because you can no longer change that selection before you search, the search engine is set to your default. Was an annoyance before, but now it's just a hindrance.

    Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem

  • When highlighting text and searching with Google, even though my default browser is Chrome, it searches with Safari.  How do I change that?

    Using iMac and Maverick OS.  I have Chrome as my default browser.  I find that going to System Preferences/General under default browser, I note that Chrome is chosen as default, yet the browser "above the line" is Safari and Chrome, while checked off is "below the line".  In other words, the top listed browser is Safari which is unchecked with a line underneath, even though all the other browsers are listed below the line and only Chrome has a check mark. 
    When I am on a website and I select words to search in Google, it always searches with Safari instead of Chrome.  How do I change that?

    Thanks for your response.  I think it was my error in that I did not define the problem properly.  Indeed Chrome is my default browser.  And Maverick does not have a "next line" to default to Google.  I can do that in the Chrome settings. 
    My problem is that when I am in another application.....and it is apparently an application native to Maverick....for example Contacts or Calendar, Reminders, Notes, etc., if I highlight a word or phrase, and right click and choose "search with Google", it defaults to Safari.  How do I change that?

  • Total Results Count in search results page

    turns out that the LiveLink Security Trimmer was causing this issue. It comes along the installation of OpenText AGA for SharePoint. As we don't crawl any LiveLink sources, we got rid of it, restarted the Search Host Controller and it works fine now.

  • Highlighting hits in search result list?

    Hi folks!
    Is it possible to highlight/mark the hits in the search result list like e.g. when I search for "hugo" the result should be displayed as follows:
    "This is my best friend Hugo and he is ..."
    Thanx for any hint!
    Regards,
    Volker

    Hi Volker,
    I am afraid you have to use the FIND option in the browser to search for the term f.e. "hugo" on the page.
    There is an sap internal faq note regarding the CRM 7.0 simple search based on SAP enterprise search
    (which I assume u r using) which states
    9.  Does Simple Search support highlighting of search keywords in search
        results?                                                            
    No, Simple Search does not highlight keywords in found search results.  
    Instead the search functionality provided by the web browser can be used
    to search for the keywords on the search result list or overviewpage of 
    a search result.                                                        
    Hope this helps.

  • Highlight / select and Search for a waveform segment.

    I'm editing a message with a talented speaker that says "UM" too many times and was looking for a way to select or highlight, then search or find then delete any re-occurrences of that sound. I saw this somewhere, but can't recall where I saw it exactly or how to do it, or even if it was in Soundtrack, Garageband or Logic. Does anyone know how to do this or if it is possible?

    Its possible to create custom attributes that have LOV's associated with them in 309. This may acheive what you need. Read the documentation for help on creating custom attributes and LOV's.

    Hi all,
    we've got a problem using the search function of Adobe Acrobat 9.4.5 (Windows XP), german version:
    Search results are no longer highlighted in PDF text ("normal" and "advanced" search)
    - "Advanced" search highlights the result only when clicking the item in the list TWICE!
    - "Normal" search does not highlight the first result on a page; when proceeding, other results on the same page are highlighted...
    Does anybody know a workaround (No, there is no chance to install another Acrobat version)

    May be a problem of version 9.4.5:

  • Can safari highlight a Google search word?

    I am trying to find out if Safari can assist me when I am directed to a website by Google to find the search words in the content of the webpage. Some webpages are very long and I cannot find where on the page the item I am searching for is.

    Hi iwolgca
    You could use Apple+F keyboard shortcut.... then enter the text you're looking for. Use Apple+G to find the next instance.
    You could click on 'cached' just below the page description on google's results list - This will usually bring you a 'snapshot' of the page from when google found it, with your search terms highlighted.
    I imagine that there are Safari 'add-ons' or 'plug-ins' that may also do what you want.

  • Where is the highlight pop up search gone?

    With the older version when you would hi lite a word on a web page, a box would pop up with a 1/2 " which included google and when you clicked on it, a new page of the item would pop up. It doesn't seem to work with beta 4 . CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIND IT? THANK YOU
