How to change the Search Index location in SP 2013?

Hi all,
Now i am facing one problem with my client server. The default search index location C: disk memory is full now. So i want to change the Index Location to another Drive like D:
i tried some PowerShell comlets nothing is working.
Could you pl help me on this. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

You will need to do it in PowerShell. In general you can't change the Index location after its setup. But you can create a new Index on the same server with the new location. Then remove the old Index. You have to do it with two passes
since you can't remove the existing Index until the new one is in place and synchronized. Take a look at the following Blog:

How to Change the Search Engine in Safari?

How can I change the Search engine?
I want to use google instead of Genieo. Everytime I open Safari it automatically redirect to Genieo and it really ******* me off! >_<

Back up all data, then remove the "Genieo" spyware by following the instructions on this page.
Some versions of the spyware may not be completely removed by those instructions. If you still have problems, do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select

How to Change the order or location of pages within Chapters

I am using the iBook Author very often. Right now I'm confronted with the problem, that I want to change the sequence of Pages WITHIN Chapters.
Furthemore, and even a greater problem, when writing books, it can happen, that you have to change the sequence a bit.
Let's say you have a book with 10 Chapters and decide afterwards, to take 2 Chapters to be part of new Section (which is in new Chapter).
So the questions are:
1) how can I re-order Pages within Chapters
2) how can I re-order Pages into other Chapters
3) how can I move Pages from one Chapter into a new Section
... hope someone has the solution

>Furthemore, and even a greater problem, when writing books, it can happen, that you have to change the sequence a bit.
I'd like to caution your that such non-liner editing can be a quick way to corrupt a book, so try to resist doing that as much as possible.
So the questions are:
1) how can I re-order Pages within Chapters
2) how can I re-order Pages into other Chapters
3) how can I move Pages from one Chapter into a new Section
You can only copy/paste content from one page's content into another in those examples, either by replacing existing content, or by inserting a blank page in the new target location and then deleting the source page when done.

How to change the default backup location?

SQL Server puts backups in a default folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup
Is there a way to change that to a different location?
I'm using Smo.Backup object in my code to create backups. The backups I create are stored in that default folder, but I was hoping that I can change that default location without having to make code changes.
Is that possible?
thanks.

To read the value from the registry you can issue the following command:
DECLARE @BackupDirectory VARCHAR ( 100 )
EXEC master.. xp_regread @rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ,
   @key = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQLServer' ,
   @value_name = 'BackupDirectory' ,
   @BackupDirectory = @BackupDirectory OUTPUT
SELECT @BackupDirectory
This will provide the following output, since we changed the value above directly in the registry.
If we want to change this back to the default folder we can use the following command
EXEC master.. xp_regwrite
      @rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ,
      @key = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQLServer' ,
      @value_name = 'BackupDirectory' ,
      @type = 'REG_SZ' ,
      @value = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Backup'
If we run this command again we can see that this has changed:
DECLARE @BackupDirectory VARCHAR ( 100 )
EXEC master.. xp_regread @rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ,
   @key = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQLServer' ,
   @value_name = 'BackupDirectory' ,
   @BackupDirectory = @BackupDirectory OUTPUT
SELECT @BackupDirectory
To determine where SQL Server is installed you can right click on the server name, select Properties. The root directory as highlighted below will show you the corresponding install name for the instance such as "MSSQL2" highlighted below, so you know which registry entry needs to be changed.

How to change the search provider when using the Firefox Home Button Search feature?

In Firefox itself I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.
But when I use the Firefox Home Button Search it is always set to google and I do not see any option to change that?
I like the Firefox Home Button Search (or whatever it's called) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default from Firefox.
I use the Google Now Launcher.

...usually it will be enough to switch the default engine in firefox back and forth once to work around the issue...

How do i change the search engine?

i just wanna know how to change the search engine

Do you mean the search engine that is used in the location bar?
You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/keyword.URL
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search
If you mean the search bar on the default about:home Home page then that can't be changed other than setting another page as the home page like http://www.google.com

SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
folder.
The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
Applied GPOs
Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
Administrative Templates
Extra Registry Settings
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
Any ideas?
I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
per your suggestion:
1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:
Policies\Administrative Templates\Policy definitions(admx files retrieved from central store\Microsoft Word 2013\Word Options\Advanced\File Locations\Default File Location = Enabled\Documents = F:\

How to change the storage location in Lightroom 3.6.?

How to change the storage location in Lightroom 3.6.?
I use my internal hard drive NTFS of my MacBook Pro as my storage location of Lightroom 3.6. being installed in Snow Leopard now but the data of my photos get too big now. I have two fast and big external hard drives eSATA now which I want to use for my data/photos. I know how to copy the data from one hard drive to another but I don't know how to change the settings in connection with Lightroom easily. I still want to watch all fotos on my MacBook Pro but don't want to save any fotos on my internal harddrive any more. Isn't it possible to have the programm Lightroom on my internal harddrive but the data on two times on two different extermal hard drives? If I look at Lightroom - settings of catalogue - I see that the internal harddrive location is my storage location now but I my two external harddrives don't appear as folders. Why? How to change that so that the external hard drives appear in Lightroom and I can watch all my fotos immediately (sometimes using external hard drive 1 and sometimes using external hard drive 2)?
My external hard drives are in HFS+ but I use the software of Paragon so that there shouldn't be any problem to read and write the data (I use also Final Cut Express so my external hard drives are HFS+ and not NTFS).
I want to impert many data from CDs - should I copy the fotos first to my external hard drive and then import it into Lightroom or is it easier to import the data directly from the CD in Lightroom so that I don't have to name the folders two times?
I see that I have to sort the fotos from the CDs in new different folders and an used to do that in Finder of my MacBookPro. In Lightroom I don't want have to click each of hundreds of fotos to be able to put it into the right folders ... But how to import only a part of a CDs quickly into the right (newly created) folders?
Kind regards, Karin

Would you really leave the names of photos like DSC05271.ARW and DSC05271.jpeg etc.?
What if I name them f.i. like ...
2013-09-11_Austria_1_mountain.jpeg
2013-09-11_Austria_2_mountain.jpeg
2013-09-11_Austria_3_valley.jpeg
I would NOT do this. I would not change the file name.
I would add keywords and other metadata to the photos to identify the content of the photos, and from that point on, I would use keywords and other metdata to search for these photos.
However, let's look at the big picture. I think there are three different methods of organizing
Organize via keywords and other metadata, and not via operating system constructs such as file name and folder name
Organize via operating system constructs such as file name and folder name, and not via keywords and other metadata
Some combination of 1 and 2
You can choose any one of the three methods above, the choice is yours. I am a very strong believer that for most people (and it sounds like you are one of those people), method 1 is the best method. However, not everyone agrees.
There are drawbacks to using file names to identify your photos. One big drawback is that you must type the information into each photo's name, and this is more tedious than if you wanted to assign the keyword "mountain" to the photos, you can assign the keyword to multiple photos at once. Also, if you mis-spell the information in the file name on any photo, you have just made the photo much harder to find; whereas in Lightroom, the keyword can be assigned via a mouse click (so you can't mis-spell it), or by typing the first few letters and Lightroom (auto-fill) will find the correct keyword name. So using keywords is a much simpler way to go.
.. is this much too complicated to do that in Lightroom or even dangerous to got lost of photos?
It is very simple to add keywords, as I explained for this case. Create keywords "Austria", "Mountain", "Valley"; then select the desired photos, and then click on the check box next to the keyword name. It is much more complicated in my opinion to rename the photos in this manner.
There is less danger in doing this via keywords than the danger doing this via file names, because of potential mis-spellings.
If I spend a lot of time in editing photos (in Lightroom or Photoshop) I don't want that I loose those photos f.i. later if Lightroom won't be the software I use regarding the photos (in 10, 20 years?!)
Lightroom will OPTIONALLY write your keywords and other metadata to the files (or sidecar files in the case of RAW). Every photographic application I know of (and I'm sure those in the future) can read the keywords and other metadata. So if you ever want to switch to some other software, your keywords and other metadata are available. you can turn this option on via Edit->Catalog Settings->Metadata, check Automatically Write Changes to XMP.
So I have to create two folders - one with the originals and one with the edited exported photos?
No, you do not have to create two folders. You don't have to export everything, but if you do, you can put the exports wherever you want, including putting them in the same folder as the originals, with different name.
Why not edit them in Photoshop and save them in the second folder which I import later in Lightroom? Because it takes longer?
Wow, you really need to think about: Why are you using Lightroom?
Could you explain this to me? Why are you using Lightroom?
If your goal is to edit the photos in Photoshop, and then put them in folders with whatever custom name you want to give them, then what is the benefit of using Lightroom? You can do all of this WITHOUT Lightroom. You keep explaining that your intended goal is to use Photoshop and folders/file names, and this is a goal which AVOIDs all benefits of Lightroom. I can't understand what you think the benefits of using Lightroom are for you.
It is starting to sound to me like Lightroom is not the right software for you.
Some people want to see a movie on their TV and are able to watch a DVD (not all!). Flickr seems to be a solution for movies in a big size (many GBs) to share them with friends (?)
You haven't mentioned this before, and you should check the rules on Flickr regarding how long a video you can upload.

dear, there.

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.
