How do i do a wildcard search in iCal

Hi,
Can anyone advise on how to do a wild card search using iCal find functionality.
Thank you.
Gerry.

You can't. However if you type eg P in the search box it will list all items with any word in the Title (assuming that is the type selected) that starts with P. Adding more letters reduces the number of items in the list.

How to do wildcard search?

Does anyone know I can do wildcard search like *.jpg or my**.jpg? And yes, don't tell me to use the Terminal and copy and paste path.

Spotlight searches are pretty much wildcard searches, you just don't need the wildcards.
However, if you want to do it, look at a Raw Query. This post shows some of its capabilities using the Terminal command mdfind, but you can use a Raw Query in the Finder and he talks about how to select that from the criteria menu.
http://blog.scottlowe.org/2012/07/25/advanced-spotlight-queries-in-the-mac-gui/
With a Raw Query, you don't use the mdfind command, but the rest of the search is entered into the Find window.

How to include "any" or wildcard in the beginning of my search

Hello,
my customers have the need of using a wildcard operator in their searches in the beginning of a phrase.
For example when searching for "sharepoint" to also be able to search like "*repoi*".
From what I know KQL does not support wildcards in the beginning of a word.
Is there another way to work around this issue?
Thank you!

You cannot use wildcard before text in KQL.
Try to use FQL. Not sure if this will work but you can give it a try

Oracle BI Publisher - Passing multiple wildcard search to a bind variable

Hi,
Please help me in resolving the below mentioned issue:
I have developed a report in oracle BI Publisher with a SQL query.
While scheduling the report to run I used to pass mutilple parameters like CGAMSVC08,RLCSVC51
If the pass the parameter with wildcard search like C% it works.
When I pass two or more parameter values with wildcard search like C%,R% its not working.
Could you please let me know how should I give the bind variable in the SQL query. Currently I'm paramater like the one shown below for passing multiple paramaters:
Where (',' || :PRMRETRID || ',' like '%,'||RL.RETROFIT_ID|| ',%')
Edited by: user1101445 on May 23, 2012 2:02 AM

HI Tyler.
Well, here's the latest.
I found this little gem in the BIEE 10.1.3.3.3 Release Notes Documentation...
This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, and 10.1.3.3.3.
Reports that use the BI Publisher data template as the data model may fail with the
following error: "Data not defined."
This error will occur if you defined a parameter in your data template but you do not
pass a value to it via the user interface. If you do not specify this parameter in the "Parameters" section of the report definition that you created using the BI Publisher Edit Report interface, then you will receive the error.
To work around this issue, either define the parameter in the Edit Report interface or remove the parameter from the data template.
That bit is now working.
Having set this up and using your guide it works if my SOAP parameters declaration passes a single value like this...
<parameterNameValues>
<item>
<name>P_INVOICE_ID</name>
<multiValuesAllowed>true</multiValuesAllowed>
<values>
<item>16641</item>
</values>
</item>
</parameterNameValues>
But if I try and pass two or more like this...
<parameterNameValues>
<item>
<name>P_INVOICE_ID</name>
<multiValuesAllowed>true</multiValuesAllowed>
<values>
<item>16641,18421</item>
</values>
</item>
</parameterNameValues>
BIP states "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01722: invalid number"
My SQL where clause is..
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select * from vw_invoice_summary
where invoice_summary_id IN (:P_INVOICE_ID)]]>
</sqlStatement>
And the BIP error records the parameter value as P_INVOICE_ID 16641,18421 (which are legit invoice IDs)
In summary, works if I pass one invoice ID, fails if I pass two or more.
Any ideas? Or do you reckon this is now a post for the BIP forum?
Kind regards.

How to limit the number of search results returned by oracle text

Hello All,
I am running an oracle text search which returned the following error to my java program.
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
#### ORA-29902: Fehler bei der AusfÃ¼hrung von Routine ODCIIndexStart()
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-29902: Fehler bei der AusfÃ¼hrung von Routine ODCIIndexStart()
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:169)
When i looked up the net, one suggestion that was given is to narrow the wildcard query, which i cannot in my search page. Hence I am left with the only alternative of limiting the number of results returned by oracle text search query.
Please let me know how to limit the number of search results returned by oracle text so that this error can be avoided.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If not set explicitly, the default value for WILDCARD_MAXTERMS is 5000. This is set as a wordlist preference. This means that if your wildcard query matches more than 5000 terms the message is returned. Exceeding that would give the user a lot to sift through.
My suggestion: trap the error and return a meaningful message to the user indicating that the search needs to be refined. Although it is possible to increase the number of terms before hitting maxterms (increase wildcard_maxterms preference value for your wordlist), 5000 records is generally too much for a user to deal with anyway. The search is not a good one since it is not restricting rows adequately. If it happens frequently, get the query log and see the terms that are being searched that generate this message. It may be necessary to add one or more words to a stoplist if they are too generic.
Example: The word mortgage might be a great search term for a local business directory. It might be a terrible search term for a national directory of mortgage lenders though (since 99% of them have the term in their name). In the case of the national directory, that term would be a candidate for inclusion in the stoplist.
Also remember that full terms do not need a wildcard. Search for "car %" is not necessary and will give you the error you mentioned. A search for "car" will yield the results you need even if it is only part of a bigger sentence because everything is based on the token. You may already know all of this, but without an example query I figured I'd mention it to be sure.
As for limiting the results - the best way to do that is to allow the user to limit the results through their query. This will ensure accurate and more meaningful results for them.

Move to next record / wildcard search

Hi
Hope you can understand this explanation..
I have searchable database for Holiday & Residential
property here
http://www.roomtobreathesl.com
(search facility in the navigation menu)
The results page for this search works fine for when you
specify a certain
area, certain amount of beds etc as it only shows a small
amount of
properties.
However when you do a search for any area / any amount of
rooms / any type,
the query brings up over 40 results, so a move to next record
is used. This
is where the problem lies. You cannot move to next record as
the 'Next
record' link is looking for another wildcard search (see
status bar).
Any ideas how to remedy this?
Thanks for any help
Gary

oops!
Sorry sent you the previous version that's online.
I also tried doing a search and replace and changing all

'Request'
Still didn't work.
This is how it was when it wasn't working.

rsResults__MMColParam3 = "xyz"

ADF Query wildcard search

Hi Experts,
i have a requirement in ADF search panel should allow wildcard search.
i would like to know is it OOTB or how can we achieve this?
appreciate your help
Thanks,
KT

You should crate a view criteria which holds all attributes and set the search criteria like 'start with' which generate wildcard search. Set each attribute to 'ignore null values' to allow searches where the attribute its not set.
Then you use this view criteria and drag it on the page and drop it on the page as query.

Wildcard search for numeric values using select ?

Hi,
I want do wildcard search for numeric fields of the table.
For charcter/string i have used - select * from XX_TABLE where param1 like 'SS%'. But this query doesnt work when para1 is numeric. Please let me know first whether this is possible ? if yes how to achieve it ?
Thanks in advance,
Shrinivas

Hi Jack,
The numeric field is of 8 digits, so when i give search critera as '66', it should return values 66000000, 660000, 6600 etc. so i was not able to give between some range. I also tried storing all these values in internal table and the segregate the values it contains '66*'. This worked well but requires lot of coding effort.Please suggest if you guys have any better method ?
Thanks,
Shrinivas

Wildcard Search on Set

Hi
I am trying to iterate through a Set and output all values that matches a partuclar string or subsrting.
e.g. if create a Set and insert the following values:
Set<String> alf = new HashSet<String>();
alf.add("abc.cde.fgh.ijk");
alf.add("abc.zxy.fgh.ijk");
alf.add("abc.pqs.tws.ijk");I am tring to display the above values (example) based on a wildcard search e.g:
If I search for:
abc.?.?.ijk
I will get an output containing the above results, (? implies matach any).
abc.cde.fgh.ijk
abc.zxy.fgh.ijk;
abc.pqs.tws.ijk
Thanks

111.112.113.114;
112.113.114.114;
111.112.113.115The values are all consistant IP format.
now when I search for say *.112.113.* through the standard inputI want to get back:
111.112.113.114
111.112.113.115 e..g match the 2nd and 3rd octets and perform wildcard search on 1st and 4th octets
and
*.*.*.* <-- will output all IP addresses
* = wildcardThanks

How do I use the new search function for ipod?

itunes 7.0 and ipod is up to date:
when i scroll through the music, i get the nifty little grey box with the letter in it, but how do i get to the search where i use the click wheel to input a query and search through all items in my ipod?

Unless your iPod is one of the recently announced upgraded 30GB or 80GB iPods, you don't have the search function. It was not added to existing devices in the recent update. It may or may not be added in some future software update but there's no official word on that.

Wildcard Search requirement for Items description and BP Name

Hi Friends,
I want to know is there any feature in Item Master data or Business Partner Master Data in which search is done by putting middle or last name. For example the Item Name is Electric Motar 345 Gear
and when the user wants to search it by say Motar 345 then all items which inclused Motar 345 should come highlighted.
Same for BP also its required as BP name is Glem Tex Japan Pvt Limited and now user wants to search the BP by say Tex Japan and all BP which includes the word Tex Japan should come.
Is there any possibilities by which this can be achieved. Its somewhat wildcard search required. I heared its possible in B1.
Regards,
Kamlesh Gupta

Dear Sridharan,
I have exactly put the same as 'Motar 345 after Opening the Item Master Data and in find mode pressed * Enter and put the above in Find and selected Item Description. But sorry to say that nothing is coming and the cursor goes in the last item master data.
What might be the problem can you please tell me.
Regards,
Kamlesh Gupta

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

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 :)

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
