How do i search my Messages?

I cant seem to find the option to allow spotlight on the iPhone 3.0 software to allow me to search through my text Messages. Can someone please help?

There is no search option in the Messages app, nor does Spotlight search text messages.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

How do I search entire message contents?

I'm looking for a mail I sent containing a word, but I only get suggestions to search people, subjects and mailboxes - not entire messages.
In Mail Help it says:
Refine your search, if you want.
To change the criteria, click the arrow and choose From, To, or Entire Message from the pop-up menu. The choices in the menu depend on the category you selected from the list of suggestions.
What arrow?
I can't find an arrow which brings up a pop-up menu from which to choose "Entire Message". In particular, there is no arrow in or around the search input field or in the search bar.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
doug

I believe I discovered the cause of the problem. Lion is re-indexing everything for Spotlight.

How do you search through configured Alternate Extensions to correct error message : The phone number or extension has already been assigned to some other object.

When configuring a new Unity Voicemail Account I receive this message : The phone number or extension has already been assigned to some other object. I understand that this means that the 10 digit number I am trying to configure as the alternate extension for this user is already configured for another object with Unity.
I need to search by the 10 digit number and determine where it is configured so I can change it and map to the correct end user.
I have attempted to to search Users via DTMF Access ID using the 10 digit number with nothing being returned via that search.
How do I Search all of the copnfigured Alternate Extensions within our Unity Server?

A subscriber info dump is likely the fastest way. If you're curious regarding other methods, you can also use the Data Link Explorer (CUDLE) tool which is in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot. All extensions for all objects are referenced in the "DTMFAccessId" table. The View menu has a Query Builder which you can use to compile a SQL query that searches for a digit string. It's best to search for both the 10 digit string as well as an abbreviated string as Unity sees them essentially the same and they are usually should be associated with a single subscriber. Once you find a match, you can use the "ParentObjectId" value associated with the DTMF access ID to look for a matching owner in the "GlobalSubscriber" table. The ParentObjectId should match the SubscriberObjectId for a subscriber (assuming the DTMF access ID is assigned to a subscriber). This is the same thing as looking at SQL; however, you are not directly accessing the DB so this is generally considered the safest way to browse and get a feel for where things are.

I perform a search, get results, find the message I was after. How do I locate this message within my (relatively) complex folder and subfolder structure?

Hi,
I use structured subfolder system to keep my emails organized (hundreds and hundreds of folders).
When I perform a search, get a list of results and within this list I find the email I was after, HOW do I locate the message? In other words, how can I open the folder which contains that particular email?
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

Not a perfect solution but maybe a workaround.

How to display an error message after validation in Formatted Search?

Hi SBO experts,
if an error is detected on validation in a Formatted Search, how to display an error message to the user entering the data?
Thanks & Regards,
Raghu Iyer

i created a formatted search query & attached it to the field 'Quantity' at Line Item level in Sales Order screen. just for testing purpose, i eneterd the following code lines in the query validating 'Quantity'
if $[$38.11.0] > 50
begin
select @error = 1
select @error_message = 'Vendor code cannot begin to X sign.'
end
the system throws the error : Internal error (8180) occurred [Message 131-183]
actually, i need to display an error message to the user if Quantity is not in multiples of the OITM.SalFactor2
if $[$38.11.0] % (SELECT T0.[SalFactor2] FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.[ItemCode] = $[$38.1.0]) > 0
begin
select @error = 1
select @error_message = 'Error in Quantity.'
end
but, this expression to get the remainder itself seems to have some error
$[$38.11.0] % (SELECT T0.[SalFactor2] FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.[ItemCode] = $[$38.1.0])
i guess, % operator is used for modulo (to find the remainder of one number divided by another.) ? am i right ?

HT4528 How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s

How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s? It's taking up about 10GB of 32 GB capacity.

After much searching on the web and reading many (sometimes amusing) posts on this topic here is what I have found.
In Settings>General>Usage my saved mesages were using 3.2Gb and no apparently immediate way of deleting them.
However as the good book says "seek and ye shall find".
SO this is where I went:
Settings>iCloud>Account> then scroll down to ADVANCED and select Mail; again scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced and yet again scroll to the bottom (well at least to DELETED MESSAGES) and tap on the line called Remove.
Here at last you will find a setting that enables you to select the period after which iOS will remove your deleted messages.
The shortest period is one day so you will haev to wait 24 hours to finally have that memory back but it should work and is a nice feature in iOS although it is well burried!!

How can I search for an exact string match in my emails?

I was looking for an old email that I had about Re-Animator The Musical. So, in the search bar in the upper right corner of the Thunderbird window, I typed "re-animator". I got 59 hits, and the message that actually contained the string "re-animator" was 27th, when sorted by relevance. All of the other hits were emails which contained the word "animal" or "animals", which to me has nothing to do with "re-animator". I'm surprised that those were considered hits at all, much less that they were considered more relevant than the one message which actually contained the desired string.
I actually tried three different searches:
reanimator
re-animator
"re-animator"
(i. e. the first two were without quotes and the third was with quotes). All three of these variations had the same problem, though, that messages containing "animal" were ranked before the message containing "re-animator".
The desired message contained the word "Re-Animator" (with that capitalization and hyphenation), and also contained "reanimatorthemusical" as part of a URL that was mentioned in the message. So, I would have expected both the search with the hyphen and the search without the hyphen to have been good hits for this message.
My question is: How can I tell Thunderbird to search for messages that literally contain the string I ask for, and not get "creative" with the matches, as it seems to be doing for some reason?
(I'm using Thunderbird 31.3.0 on Mac OS X 10.9.5.)

No, searching for:
"Animator" musical
still has the exact same problem: it still wants to find "animal" instead of "animator". Why?
Yes, I had already read the support article you linked to, but I hadn't found anything in it about why Thunderbird would prefer "animal" over "animator", or how to disable this misfeature. Is there no better documentation for the search bar than that?
(And the search for "Animator The Musical" didn't find my message, simply because my message didn't contain that exact string. It contained "I am on a waiting list for some musical tickets for Sunday, but I haven't heard back yet. It is a preview of The Re-Animator. ( http://www.reanimatorthemusical.com/ )." The search for "Animator The Musical" only had a single hit, your message in which you suggest searching for that.)

How can I save text messages to my Mac and will that reduce "Other" in storage?

I have hundreds (or more) of text messages on my iPhone 5 that for personal reasons, I want to save. There are far too many to do screenshots. I want to save them to my MacBook Pro Retina in a readable and printable format. The reason is that I read that text messages can cause the "Other" storage to be higher. My "Other" is over 6 GB on a 16 GB iphone. Therefore I want to save texts, print them, and delete from phone.
First question: Is it true that text messages contribute to the size of "Other"?
Second question: How can I save texts to Mac in readable format so they could be printed?
Third question: How in the world do I delete all these texts from my iPhone efficiently? Is there a way to "mass delete"?
When you are answering this, perhaps it is noteworthy that:
(a) I've had an iPhone since a 3G in 2009, and the texts I want to save have been accumulating since then.
(b) My "Other" has gradually gotten larger over the years.
(c) I sync with itunes regularly.
(d) I've never had any problems with an iphone or with my data.
(e) I've restored from backup only three times, when I upgraded to the iphone 4, 4S, and 5.
I want to get this "Other" cleared up before I upgrade to the iphone 5S.
Thank you.

How to permanently disable this message: "Press Esc to exit full screen." (by Adobe Flash Player) in Mac's Safari Browser?

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for sometime (without any success) for a solution to permanently remove this annoying message: "Press Esc to exit full screen."
Whenever I go to full screen mode, watching any video on YouTube, BBC, CNN (or many other websites which use Adobe Flash Player for streaming video) I have to bare seeing this message for several seconds until it fades away. Seeing this message once or twice would have been okay, but as we all watch many videos on a daily basis on internet, after weeks, months and now years seeing this message over and over again many times every day, it becomes very annoying, and I find myself rewinding many videos to their beginning after this message fades away to be able to watch it from the beginning without anything obstructing it!
Does anyone know how to "permanently" disable this message from appearing?
I am using the latest version of Safari 6.0 on the latest version of OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8.1), and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Plug-in version 11.4.402.265) installed on my new MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.
Thanks,
Ally

Thanks Carolyn,
I am attaching a screenshot here for you to see that this setting was already set to what you suggested. I didn't need to change it as it was like this even before I post this message.
So the problem still presists and unfortunately your suggestion is not a solution to this probelm.
Last night I did more reseach and found a discussion in Adobe website, it seems a lot of other people have the same issue, and even started a discussion in Adobe website about it. But unfortunately Adobe refuses to address it and enable the end user at least to have an option to turn this message off from displaying permanently on his/her computer.
I am writing down the url links for the two posts regarding this issue on Adobe's website:
Link #1: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921270
Link #2: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3058752
Hopefully more people will get involved and ultimately we will either get Adobe's attention, or someone will find a "hack" and post it here for all of us. I have found some suggested "hacks" for Windows environment (you can simply google it, I am sure you will find them too). But so far I haven't seen anything for Mac's Safari browser.
Cheers,
Ally

How can I save mail messages to my computer and not my mail program

My mail program seems to be slow. I'm not sure why. I get the spinning ball frequently. I need to save mail messages sometimes for a few years and there are hundreds of emails. Is it better to save them on my computer than my mail program? I may need to retrieve them at some other time so they need to be readable. Is that possible?
I'm using OS X 10.9.4. I have a 3.06 GHz processor and 12 GB of memory. Thanks

How to show execution error message from a Process

hi
i have a requirement like to display the error messsage returned by the proceure.
I have a process with point After Submit and validations, where i am calling a procedure which returns the execution status with SUCCESS or FAILURE;
and if it FAILURE, it will return the error_message also, how can i show this message to the user just like how we are showing the process success message/validation message.
And i need to stop the process execution there itself once its got failed;
how can i achieve these two? anyone can give some inputs....
thanks in advance
renjish

paul and denes, thanks for the quick reply...
i tried the both option the message is coming properly. but the thing is i want to stop the execution there itself where i got the error from the procedure and the page should be remained in the same page.
currently i have a page 10(customer search screen), from there i called page 102 (customer edit screen) and in the page 102 i attached the process which includes the procedure to update the customer details;
Normally if update is success, the procedure will return SUCCESS and its navigating to the page 10(customer search screen.). so here if FAILURE is returning by procedure, i need to be in the same page i.e 102(customer edit) by showing the error message..just like a validation message...
currently whatever the procedure returns either SUCCESS or FAILURE, it goes to previous screen, but i need the method just like how the validation works if it fails.
hope you got....
regards
renjish
