    How so I do a text search on a safari web page?  Please help

    When you're on the page you want to search tap the URL bar to turn it blue. Tap the x so it disappears. Type the word you want to search for, at the bottom of the suggestions is find on page, tap that. Your high-lighted text should appear.

    Hi Trease,
    Check to make sure that is it is not disabled in the about:addons page of your browser window.
    There are a few addons with that name, but I would also take a look at the description on its addons.mozilla.org page if you still have it.

  • How do I search for text in a PDF?

    How can I do a word search in adobe Xl?

    When you scan a document, it creates an image, no searchable text.  To convert text from an image into real text, you will need to perform text recognition (OCR), e.g. with Acrobat.
    Some scanner software include OCR, but you'd have to check with Brother about that.

    Lines in what? And what language are you using to develop with?
    Are the lines in a text file? A RichTextBox? A TextBox? Some other control? A List(Of String)?
    Is there some expectation by you that by providing what you wrote in your question post that the knowledge in your mind about what you are thinking about will mysteriously emanate to anybody reading your post so all of the sudden your knowledge will
    become their knowledge and they will be able to provide you with an answer as they will suddenly understand what you are trying to do? Because that's probably impossible. Most people try providing enough information in a question so anybody, even stupid people
    like me, can understand what they want. Maybe you should try that. As well as selecting an appropriate forum for your question in the future. Usually a question like this is related to programming in a particular language therefore a language forum may be
    a good choice. Or not.

  • Search for text within files

    How do you search for files that contain a specific string of text?  I tried going to the folder in the finder and typing the string in the search box, but it does not seem to return correct results.   True, I do see a couple of files that contain my string, but it doesn't show all the results.  There are files that I know contain the string in the same folder, but it does not show them??

    Spotlight should index PDF files (as well as Word and some other kinds of files) but it seems that PDFs are not created equal. I've seen and heard complaints that some scanner/OCR programs are saving files that aren't searchable and yours is one of them. Try opening one of the files in Preview and resaving it.

  • Spotlight search for text messages not working

    After upgrading to ios8, I discovered that the spotlight search for text messages only "sees" my last two texts but not any of the others I have on my phone. These are all active conversations, not deleted messages.  Any ideas how to fix?  Thanks.

    I Fixed mine by going to setting->General->Sptolight and unchecking "messages", exiting the function then returning and rechecking "messages".

  • How do I search for and select a repeating phrase in a file.

    How do I search for and select a repeating phrase in a file read via Applescript. The file contains details of phone calls submitted to a charity and I want to be able to analyse the types of call taken. The phrase is 'Type of enquiry' and I want to extract the description that follows. I am a beginner at Applescript and have been working my way through Applescript 1-2-3 but cannot find an obvious solution although I have manged to open and read the file! All suggestions gratefully received.

    In applescript you can use something like the following:
    set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, "Type of enquiry"}
    set dataBits to text items of textToParse
    set my text item delimiters to oldTID
    the variable dataBits, then, will be a list where every list item is a string that starts with the text following that phrase. 
    You could do regular expressions searches as well, but you'd need to download and install the Satimage osax.

  • How do I search for all "missing" tracks within the iTunes database?

    I found the dreaded ! of death, and sadly I verified the tacks indeed are not on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to sort on this tag so that I can see what else might be missing on my hard drive but remains in the database (sort of similar to how you can search for all tracks that have missing artwork)? 

    Thanks.  It works perfectly.

    when in i-tunes 11 mac, how do i search for a song as well as a genre at the same time?

    If you mean searching for a song that you already have in your Library, then you can select "Music" first. Then, go across horizontally to Genres and select that; then by using the drop-down menu found under "View" & (of course) select "View Options"-- you will be presented with a limited # of choices to sort by.
    My iTunes 11.0.5 shows 4 parameters to choose from: Title, Artist, Year and Rating. Then you can sort & finally...
    Enjoy,
