How can I teach Spotlight to search FileMaker databases?

Any trick? Workaround? Hack? ...?

Afraid you are out of luck until Filemaker does a couple of things that would make a Spotlight search possible--they first have to change the program itself in the way mail was changed, so that the databases aren't simply gigantic files, then write an mdimporter to search whatever thingies they come up with.

  • How can I get Spotlight to search my Users/Shared folder?

    How can I get Spotlight to search my Users/Shared folder?  It searches the folders in the other users, but not Shared.  When I CMD-I the Shared folder, my group has read-write privileges (all groups have at least read-only privileges).  When I do the search in the Finder window (with the Shared folder highlighted), It gives me the options of This Mac and "Shared".  When I click on "Shared," it does not give me any results.  I keep documents, photos, iTunes data, etc, in this Shared folder, and would like to be able to use Spotlight on it.

    I appreciate the 108 "views," but there weren't any replies, so I took another shot at figuring it out.  I did a CMD-I on the Shared folder, and made the "everyone" group have read-write access, and it worked!  I'm not sure if its because now all groups have read-write access, or just because the "everyone" group does, but I don't care at this point.    I'll have to restrict a few folders within in there, but at least it searches the main Shared folder itself now.

  • How can I make Spotlight show the file path

    How can I make Spotlight show the file path in the Spotlight menu for selected file?

    Via Finder certainly, but not in the menu.  You can view the file path in the Spotlight search results display by pressing the ⌘ key (while hovering over a file in the results), though.  The path will display at the bottom of the Quick Look output, or cycle through that location.

  • I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar? I don't want to see Bing at all.

    I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

    *'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
    1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
    2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
    3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
    4. you're done :)
    Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine.

  • How Can I View Only The Search Results

    I'm very frustrated trying to display only my 5 star rated images so that I can export them.  WhenI search I get all the five star images plus all the other images in stacks with them.  How can I just ge the search result images?

    For that you would need to unstack your images from the stack. If your image is a part of the stack and it meets the desired search criteria ( in your case 5 star), then complete stack is shown in the search results.
    If you want to bypass complete stack out of your search , you can use Find by Details (Metadata) search as -
    Rating is 5
    And
    Stack is not in a stack

  • How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?

    How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
    Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.

    Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
    Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it.

  • How can we create a Collective search help

    Hi all sap experts,
    How can we create a Collective search help on field “OBJECT” which allows to search tables
    o   ARCH_OBJ
    o   TOJTB (Search help: H_TOJTB)
    on 2 tabs.
    Thanks,
    Basu

    Hi
    1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
    2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
    3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
    4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
    5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
    6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
    CREATION:
    Go to SE11  Tcode
    select search help
    give the 'z' search help name and create
    select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
    dialog module 'display value immediately'.
    add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
    where left position when displaying and spos = search position
    and then save and activate ..

  • No matter which bookmark i click on or url i type, firefox connects to yahoo!search, and even from there i cannot connect to the desired webpage. how can i get yahoo!search permanently disabled?

    since this morning [1 may] i cannot connect to any bookmarked or other url [except the firefox homepage?!], because the only connection made is to yahoo!search. and even when yahoo!search displays the search result correctly to the site i want to go on, if i click on that i only get returned to yahoo!search again. since i prefer not to use yahoo!search at all, how can i disable yahoo!search permanently?

    There are other things that need your attention.
    Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
    You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
    Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

    Just don't install the sample schemas. See the installation guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10831/installation.htm
    Using the Database Configuration Assistant
    When you install Oracle Database with the Oracle Universal Installer, the sample schemas are installed by default if you select the Basic Installation option. Selecting the sample schemas option installs all five schemas (HR, OE, PM, IX, and SH) in the database. If you choose not to install the sample schemas at that time, you can add them later by following the instructions in section "Manually Installing Sample Schemas".
    Choose a custom install and don't install the sample schemas.
    All other schems/tables installed are REQUIRED by Oracle
