Highlighted Search Result of a Report

Dear all,
I created a search field item in a report and named it P_SEARCH. It worked fine, but when I tried to set the returned results highlighted by setting its Highlight Words Column Formatting Region in Report Attributes Edit to &P_SEARCH, it wasn't working as expected.
Could anybody advise me how to troubleshoot this?
Best regards,
Val

Hi,
Did you forgot dot after item name?
Try
&P_SEARCH.Regards,

  • Enable Highlight Search Result in RH8 for Word

    Hi all,
    Is the search option "Enable Highlight Search Result" available under RoboHelp 8 for Word?  I can find the option in RoboHelp 8 but I can't find it under the RH8 for Word application.
    Any pointers or advice would be really helpful.
    Cheers,
    Leigh.

    Thanks Peter.
    Appreciate you answering this one.
    It's a pity this is not an option as I have word docs already written for a User Guide and the text highlighting option in searches is really helpful to narrow down where seach strngs are located within large topic pages.
    I guess I could copy and paste the word content manually into a RoboHelp HTML project instead.
    Thanks again,
    Leigh.

  • Auto-open DHTML dropdowns containing highlighted search result?

    I have submitted the following feature request.
    Does anyone know of a script or other "trick" that will produce this result?
    When returning search results in published output, automatically open DHTML dropdowns containing the highlighted search term. Otherwise, users go to the listed page but cannot see the highlighted search term. There may be many dropdowns on a single page, resulting in some inconvenience for end-users of published output.

    Hi Willam
    I stand to be corrected on this, but won't that cause all drop-downs to expand for all topics? I understood the issue to be that only when a term was found inside a drop-down was when the expansion was desired. So perhaps a single page has ten drop downs and a searched term is found that occurs in one of the ten, only expand that drop-down do the term would be visible.
    AFAIK this isn't possible.
    As an aside, it always did strike me as odd that someone would go to all the trouble of inserting drop-downs and expands, only to later want them all presented by default when the topic was opened. Isn't the idea behind them to hide information until the user wishes to see it?

  • Form pagination based on search results. Classic report

    hei folks,
    can anyone give me idea how to implement form pagination based on report search results on other page?
    and im using Classic Report.
    pagination by default gives me 1...count(rowid) number of pages
    best regards,
    Simon

    Done.
    Process Get Next or Previous Primary Key Value has a field Optional WHERE clause, you can repeat the 10 store high Where clause from your original report (on page 1). If report includes more then one table - use a view, because inside Optional WHERE clause you can only use one table/view.

  • Highlight Search Words in Interactive Report

    I have been searching and searching for days for a solution to highlight the search words in the IR. I was thinking to grab the search field value and do a global replace in the report region, but it looks like the search report is generated by javascripts. I really appreciate if anyone can help me out..thanks

    Is this the kind of thing?
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=579:45
    Basically, implement this JQuery plugin
    http://johannburkard.de/blog/programming/javascript/highlight-javascript-text-higlighting-jquery-plugin.html
    Then create a hidden/unprotected item 'P45_SEARCH'
    Next create 2 x dynamic actions:
    1. Before Region Refresh run JS
    $("#P45_SEARCH").val($("#apexir_SEARCH").val());2. After Region Refresh run JS
    var lv_search = $('#P45_SEARCH').val();
    if (lv_search) {
    $('td').highlight(lv_search);
    }I've not had time to polish it, but it might give you some ideas.
    I hope it helps

  • How to show all the search result in a report page

    I have a report page which the user can enter first or last name to find the matched employees. The current report only show maximum of 15 matched results. How to show all of them in one page if more than 15.
    Also, the employee name on the report is a link, how to make the link to be conditional. ( I mean it can be a link or not based on another column)
    Thanks.
    Jen

    Hi, you can change the number of rows on the report definition page (15 is the default value)- that's also where you can change pagination and max. number of rows etc.
    About the second question - you will have to use Case or Decode in your report query and have the value as link or not based on the condition column, something like:
    Select Decode(condition_column, 'link_value', '<a href="f?p=YOUR_APP:PAGE_TO_LINK_TO:'  || :SESSION || ':::::">display_column</a>' , display_column) From .....
    Hope this helps.

  • Non appearing report search results

    I'm using html db version 1.5 and I'm having difficulty with the search result from a report region.
    This problem doesn't always occur, but on occasion for no apparent reason, sometimes the search results don't display on screen, but the record counter indicates that there are records and the records are exportable. Usually users have to restart the application and then it does back to normal.
    I would appreciate any insight you can pass on.

    Try resetting pagination when submitting your search, see the following posting for more information:

  • Change highlight word color in a report

    Hi All,
    I have question regarding highlighting search words in a report. I used APEX's "Highlight Words" column attribute to achieve this. My search string is a list of words 'table,chair,sofa' It works perfectly fine showing the matching words in Red color. But I want to change the color to yellow. If it's a single word then I think I can do it using the replace SQL function and change the color using the <span Style...> But in my case I have a list. Any advise appreciated...
    Thanks in advance.

    Another option would be to include relevant SQL to do your highlighting. E.g.
    select replace(replace(object_name,'table','&lt;span style="background-color:yellow"&gt;table&lt;/span&gt;'),'chair','&lt;span style="background-color: yellow"&gt;chair&lt;/span&gt;') object_name from bits_of_furniture
    It's certainly not pretty but the above would highlight all tables and chairs in yellow. What you could do is put together a PL/SQL function which accepts as parameters: the string to make replacements in, a comma-separated list of terms to replace and the colour to highlight with. So your SQL might become:
    select highlight(object_name,'chair,table,sofa','yellow') from bits_of_furniture
    All you have to do is build the highlight() function... :)

  • IProcurement  Search Results Per Page

    Hi to All,
    Was looking for a profile option that controls the search results per page. We know there is the iProcurement section that a user can set the search results per page. But we are looking for a global profile option.
    In researching this option within ML found the following profile: POR: Result Set Size. But this profile doesnt change the results per page.
    Does anyone have thoughts on what the correct profile is or why the POR: Result Set Size is not working as expected.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. In Robohelp 8 there are no options for hiding the search results per page feature while generating the output. Can you please guide me. I tried removing the content from the output by commenting out the followig code from the whform.htm file. However, the text box showing 10 remains. I cannot remove that. Can you suggest?
    gsMaxSearchTitle = "Search results per page" ; 
    gsMaxSearchTitle = "Search results per page";
    if (window.gbWhForm)
    RegisterListener2(this, WH_MSG_SHOWTOC);

  • Navigating search results

    I created a Form and Report pages using the wizard.
    I put some additional filters on the Search page.
    I enter the filters, click Go to get, say, 10 records in my resultset. Each record would have that Edit icon next to it.
    I would like to Click on the first record, go to the Form page, edit the record and do a Save/Next (or Previous) to go to the corresponding record within the search results on the report page. Also, the Form page should show some informative text like 'Editing record 5 of 10 found" or something like that.
    How can I do this? I looked at the builtin Get Next/Previous key processes but couldn't quite figure out how to apply them to this situation.
    Thanks

    Hm, the builtin Get Next/Previous key values process does seem to do the job with some modifications.
    See http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:26
    Enter a SAL and hit Enter. Results where SAL > the entered sal will be shown.
    Clicking the Edit icon will go to the form page which has the Next/Previous buttons.
    The changes I had to make to the Get Next/Previous form process was to change the URL redirect for the Next/Previous buttons to a simply doSubmit(...). I also changed the Branch point for the Before Computation branches the wizard created to After Processing.
    I also had to enter the same WHERE clause on that Get Next/previous process as I have on my query region so as to keep them "in sync" :P26_SAL is null or sal > :P26_SALNow my only question is:
    What is the "Navigation order" attribute on that Get Next/Previous value process? What does it control?
    So if I order my report page by say SAL, I need to set the Navigation order for this process to SAL so that the user will think that the next/previous buttons are actually navigating the report search results?
    Thanks

  • Highlight search string in a pl/sql report

    Hi all,
    I followed the example of QBE by Scott Spendolini. I got it working. But I am trying to add the highlight search string functionality, in the report created. The report is created from a dynamic pl/sql query. Can you give me any ideas or an example? Thank you for your time in advance,
    Rgds,
    Suma.

    Hi Suma,
    Your Search button runs a process called "RUN_REPORT". Presumably, this process picks up the values from the tabular form to construct the new SQL statement.
    Given that you don't have a normal report definition - ie one that you can use the Highlight Words option - the only other possibility is to adjust the SQL query results.
    Let's assume that you have in your RUN_REPORT process a variable called vJOB that holds the JOB value from your QBE grid. Your SQL statement could then be adjusted to something like:
    SELECT EMPNO,
    ENAME,
    '&lt;span style="color:red"&gt;' || JOB || '&lt;/span&gt;',
    etc
    FROM EMPTABLE
    WHERE JOB = vJOB;
    Obviously, without seeing your code, I can not say exactly how it should be constructed to highlight the word(s), but the above should give you an idea of what you need to do. If you're still not sure, can you please paste into this thread the RUN_REPORT code.
    Regards
    Andy

  • Bug report - nbsp in search results

    See http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=24317:86
    Out of the box report on EMP with query as
    select * from emp
    where (:P86_SEARCH is null or lower(empno||ename||job) like '%'||:P86_SEARCH||'%')
    order by empnoand Highlight Search enabled on EMPNO, ENAME and JOB columns for &P86_SEARCH. Report Attributes "Show Nulls as" is set to blank (per documentation it should default to (null) but that doesn't seem to be happening either)
    Runs fine without any search, see http://screencast.com/t/eF1xXtjQ5
    But when you enter a 1-letter search for any of the letters N, B, S or P, the HTML code & nbsp; magically appears in the search results with the search letter highlighted. See http://screencast.com/t/lYXnBnb5u

    Hi Vikas,
    Thank you for reporting this issue. I easily reproduced this.
    I have filed this as Bug 12581907 to be fixed for Application Express 4.1.

  • Need to create link to Word Doc in blob column in search results report

    I got the Oracle Text boolean search of word documents in a blob column of a table working.
    Now I need to be able to create a link in the results report.
    I know that Oracle creates a link for each document in the column when you attach a file, I just need to know what the link should be to allow users to open the document in the search results report.
    Right now the application is set to do a search in the attached word documents, and in the results window it shows the names of the people who match the search, but it won't allow me to create a link to their resume in the results report.
    the name of the table is CONTRACTOR_LIST and the blob column is RESUME.
    How would you go about creating a simple link to the word file in the results window?
    Here is the code for the query
    select score(1) relevance, Name, Resume
    from contractor_list
    where CONTAINS (resume, :P1_SEARCH, 1) > 0
    order by 1 desc
    That works, but I can't get it to link to the resume file.
    Here is the code I'm using for the link
    javascript:popupURL(&quot;#RESUMEL#&quot;)
    This just give me an error page and the the link is
    http://server-namer:8080/apex/[datatype]
    the error is
    Bad Request
    The HTTP client sent a request that this server could not understand.
    Thanks again!

    It is within the table I believe (I'm not a DBA or a developer) since I created a BLOB column and then used the file browse feature to allow users to attach a resume to the table in order to be able to perform a search of the attached documents.
    I'm just having a hard time pointing the link in the search results report to the document in the blob column.
    The information on that page is great if you're trying to create a link to the document on the initial report.
    But I created a query using Oracle Text to run a report that does a boolean search of the attached word documents in the table.
    When it displays the search results, it doesn't create a link to the document and I can't figure out how to do it.
    Here's a link the the instructions I used to create the initial search report with Oracle Text, mind you I only created the index and query, I didn't add in all the link data since they're using documents on websites and I'm using documents in a table.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_text_application_v1.6.pdf
    If you can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks again.

  • In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

    Hello, all.
    In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

    Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
    Type in the name of the track.
    Click the album of interest to show tracks.
    Select the track.
    Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
    Double click the track you want to start playing first.
