How do I filter my Help search to eliminate unrelated items?

I'm working in Illustrator CS 5, but this question really applies to any Adobe product:
How do I get the Help search to limit results to items related to the actual program I'm using, and to the subject I enter in the search bar?
For example, if I type "join" in the search bar and select Illustrator from the dropdown menu, and check "Adobe Reference Only" the first 6 items I get are about javascript and SQL programming. This happens for any help search I do. I assume there's a way to get useful results from the Help search and I'm just missing it.
Suggestions, anybody?

Barry,
In addition to what Monika said, if some unwanted added word(s) fill the top of the search, you may add -[unwanted word] for the/each word after the wanted part.

How do you filter an email search (ie: Subject or From) in iOS 7?

How do you filter an email search (ie: Subject or From) in iOS 7?

Hello dh1316
The way iOS 7 searches email has changed. I have made an excerpt of the new way search works.
iPhone User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Search for a message. Scroll to or tap the top of the messages list to reveal the search field. You can search the current mailbox, or all mailboxes at once. Searching looks at the address fields, the subject, and the message body.
Search by timeframe. Scroll to or tap the top of the messages list to reveal the search field, then type something like “February meeting” to find all messages from February with word “meeting.”
Search by message state. To find all flagged, unread messages from people in your VIP list, type “flag unread vip.” You can also search for other message attributes, such as “attachment.”
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I filter to only search for UK websites?

In Explorer, you can go to >Search Tools > Any country, then a drop down allows you to specify any country or just the UK. I waste so much time being directed to US sites but I can't find how to filter in Firefox.

Hello Kinkle, you can use specific plug-ins from Mycroft Project.
example for google : http://mycroftproject.com/google-search-plugins.html

FileDialog, not JFileChooser, how to set filter? help+help!

i want to add file filter to the bottom combo box control of FileDialog, but i have no idea.
1. setFile("*.txt;*.java;") works in a silly style
2. FilenameFilter doesn't work (return true or false makes no diff from accept function.
if you used FileDialog before or saw some examples which work well, please give me a hand.

setFileNameFilter do not work for Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0. So better use JFileChooser

How to assign a help search

Hi masters,
i need to create a help search F4 for a standard field in tx ME51N. The field is AFNAM, it is located in the table MEREQ3211GRID. I created the search throught tx SE11 (zhelp_soli) and it works well.
Now, how can i assign that help search to element AFNAM? I can't modify the standard table, because it asks me for a code. Do i need to get the permission from SAP to add that help to that field?
I thought that i must be done without asking for the code to modify standard tables in SAP.
Thanks..

Hello Miguel
Structure MEREQ3211GRID is used only within a very few program objects. I had a look into function group MEGUI and there is apparently no exit to modify fieldcatalog properties.
Therefore, the easiest solution should be to modify the structure. For this you need the modification key for object R3TR TABL MEREQ3211GRID.
Then you can add the search help field to the structure field MEREQ3211GRID-AFNAM.

Uwe

How to replace a field's search help of DDIC in FPM feeder class?

Hi All,
I want to replace a field's search help in DDIC structure, for an example, in structure HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R0009, the field BANKL(Bank Keys) has a search help named 'H_BANKL', I want to replace this search help with other one such as 'H_BANKEY' in the FPM feeder class CL_HRESS_PER_DETAIL, I redefined such method:
method if_fpm_guibb_form~get_definition.
field-symbols: <fs_field_description> like line of et_field_description.
call method super->if_fpm_guibb_form~get_definition
importing
es_message = es_message
eo_field_catalog = eo_field_catalog
et_field_description = et_field_description
et_action_definition = et_action_definition
et_special_groups = et_special_groups
ev_additional_error_info = ev_additional_error_info.
read table et_field_description assigning <fs_field_description> with key name = 'BANKL'.
set search help name of field 'bank key'
if <fs_field_description> is assigned.
<fs_field_description>-ddic_shlp_name = 'H_BANKEY'
endif.
endmethod.
I test it and found the search help window was replaced indeed, but all the value of import/export parameters in the new search help was lost, it means, the value of import paramer BANKS(Bank country) and the export parameter BANKA(bank name) were lost. Only the value of BANKL itself can be returned by the new search help window. Can you give me some suggestions about how to maintain the link( value exchange) between structure HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R0009 and dynamically defined search help 'H_BANKEY' in FPM feeder class?
I tried to use sap memory ID but it doesn't works well.

This question was answered at [Webdynpro Forum|how to replace a field's search help of DDIC in FPM feeder class?;:
That is because for the import and export of DDIC Search help values to work in WDA, not in FPM layer.Feeder Class can do nothing about it.

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Hello,
this topic is still a problem for me, does anybody have an idea.
Just to show what's my problem:
Collective Search help KRED does include a SAP append-search help ASH_KRED which holds the elementary search helps KREDC, KREDE, KREDM, KREDW.
The search helps KREDE, KREDM, KREDW should not be displayed, so I added another Serach-Help-Append ZKRED_CUST at the end of CSH KRED which holds these 3 SH's with the hidden flag.
That works, the SH's are not shown anymore.
I also added some other of the Original SAP SH's (e.g. KREDA) with the hidden flag and added changed copies of these (e.g ZKREDA) there to be shown instead.
All this can be done modification free by appends.
The folders of the elementary search helps are shown in the order as they are found included in the KRED SH and the append to this SH.
This means that the not hidden Sh KREDC from ASH_KRED is shown before all the "custimized" ZKREDx -SH's. But we need this SH not very often, so that I want it to displayed al the right-most position of the folders of SH's or at the most down postition of the drop-down-selection of SH's.
But I have not found any way to do this modification free.
The only way to archive this is to modify ASH_KRED by setting the Hidden-Flag for KREDC and add this SH at the end of append-SH ZKRED_CUST again.
But I want avoid this modification.
So, is there any way to do this without modifing any of the original SAP SH's ?

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

How do we display ALV in Search Help exit

Plz help out !!

You have to program the exit properly to return the value to the field to which the search help is attached. Refer to the following link to find out how to do this: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/cf/21ee52446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm]

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

How can I call a specific search help from and still get all the tabs

hello
I use F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST to display a specific search help from my program. This search help is included in a collective search help, but only the one specified search help is displayed.
Is it possible to call the collective search help and display one specific search help ?
Example: in CRM i have a collective search help BUPA. When F4 is issued from a customer field the search help "Search customer" should be displayed, and not the last search help which was activated - i.e.. "Search employee".
best regards
Peter Christiansen

Hi,
you can try some thing like this..
 CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
 EXPORTING
 TABNAME = 'KNA1'
 FIELDNAME = 'KUNNR'
 SEARCHHELP = 'DEBI'
 TABLES
 RETURN_TAB = LT_RETURN
 EXCEPTIONS
 FIELD_NOT_FOUND = 1
 NO_HELP_FOR_FIELD = 2
 INCONSISTENT_HELP = 3
 NO_VALUES_FOUND = 4
 OTHERS = 5.
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
