How to make Spotlight search iMovie packages

I want spotlight to look through my iMovie package files when searching my disks. This worked when the movie projects were stored in files & folders, but now it seems like the package contents are 'invisible' to spotlight. Are there any settings that can be modified?

JohanR,
Spotlight, as you've found out, doesn't not search inside of packages.
There's probably a way around it by tweaking the Spotlight.plist file but that's beyond my realm of expertise.
A simpler solution is to get a piece of freeware called EasyFind.
It has a setting that allows it to search within packages.

How to disable spotlight searches inside packages

Hi,
I tagged all my files inside my document folder, now I'd like to create and save a smart folder searching for all the untagged files, just in case I create or move a file to that folder without tagging it first.
The problem is that I have several files, which are packages with other files in them (created with Scrivener, Devonthink, OmniOutliner...). These other files aren't tagged (and I don't need nor want to tag them) so they are showed in my spotlight search.
I can't exclude the folders containing these files in spotlight preference, since there are a lot of them and I often create new files of these kinds.
I would like to tell spotlight not to search inside packages. Is that possible?
thanks in advance,
pietro

You can't remove it so as it is fixed in the OS of the phone.

How to make Spotlight search always on available/mounted shares?

Hi all, is there a way to configure spotlight on our Leopard Clients to always search our spotlight enabled shares on our leopard server?
The only way we can do this until now is by manually selecting to search "Shares" in the finder. We would appreciate the quicker way via CMD+Space to find files also on our shares.
By default, CMD+Space seems to search only on the client.

I finally experienced the "Spotlight just stopped" issue after a year and a half of flawless use. Here is how I fixed it.
Went to System Preferences, chose User Accounts, and created a new account. Then logged into the new account. Spotlight was working, logged off new account then back into the original account. Spotlight was now working again for it.
My original intent was to just see if it was my user account that was having problems but it turned out to be the fix.
Maybe it will work for you and others.

How to make dynamic search items in a report?

Hi all,
I have two questions.
1. How to make dynamic search (i.e without GO button) field above report to provide dynamic search by words in one field of report query?
2. How to make similar multiply dynamic search fields on report to provide individual search by selected fields of report with refine capability (i.e any search conditions in different fields must work together as complex WHERE clause)
Thanks in advance

hey yuri--
if i'm understanding your questions correctly, the easiest way to achieve the functionality you're after is to have your query criteria fields submit the page when values are entered/selected. the page should then branch back to itself using the submitted criteria in the query. because you're asking about dynamically adding in your where clause predicates, you should consider using a report region of type "SQL Query (Pl/sql Function Body Returning SQL Query)". that way you can use pl/sql to piece together your query based on the provided criteria.
so the part of your question i'm not sure of is when your page should submit itself ("without a GO button" as you said). for your first question, it seems to be a simple matter of javascript. you want users to be able to enter search criteria into a field and have that criteria be using in the report. to facilitate that we have a few self-submitting item types such as "SelectList with Submit" and "Text Field (always submits page when Enter pressed)". for your second question, it seems that you should have a Go button for the user to indicate he's done entering in his query criteria. anyhow, that's up to you, i suppose. hopefully this response will give you the concepts you need to implement this as you'd like.
regards,
raj
ps-after re-reading your post, i now realize there's a chance that you wanted users to not have to submit the page at all when filtering their result sets. if that's the case, you'd have to use javascript for that cumbersome feat. google would be a good place to go for that code.

You shouldn't disable Spotlight completely; Apple's App Store relies on it to keep track of updates to software you've downloaded and permit you to update them when they're available. Instead, in Spotlight preferences, uncheck everything in "Search Results." Spotlight will still run for OS and App Store purposes but won't be useful for your search needs any longer. Instead, check out EasyFind in the App Store. It's fast, flexible, and will search external drives Spotlight hasn't indexed.

You can reuse the packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ on your Arch32.
You can use these saved packages in a 32bit chroot ENV on your Arch64. Just pacman -U all of them.

How to make a search in a form

Hi
I have a form with a lot of items(name date,age,height) that i can use to make a search . I found many problems for the search , infact i had to create many cursors, one for each case. For example i would search for age and height or just from date and so on.
How can i make it more easy?
Can i use a dinamically query for a cursor ?
PLZ HELP

if you don't use oracle default search buttons, then you may code your own search buttons, inside, you may ,
e.g., user might want to enter height and age fields(Assume the table columns are HEIGHT and AGE),
then use,
IF :heightitem is not null then
w_str := ' AND HEIGHT ='||:heightitem;
END IF;
IF :AGEITEM IS NOT NULL THEN
w_str := w_str||' AND AGE='||:ageitem;
END IF;
then you set_block_property('..',default_where,w_str); then execute_query. In order to avoid giving user blank form fields when no records found, which oracle did this badly, then you may use SELECT COUNT(*) into cnt FROM ... WHERE ...w_str to detect the cnt, if cnt > 0 then execute_query, if not, then shoot no record data found message out.

How to make a search form with required items?

Hi
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 and JHeadstart 11.1.1.2.29
I want to make a Search-form for Searching Employees. I want to search for Last Name OR First Name OR Maximum Salary OR ( Combination ManagerID and DepartmentID). One of these is required.
On the view object for Employees, I defined a view criteria for the search.
In JHeadstart, I disable Quick Search and set Advanced Search to model-samePage and Advanced Search View Criteria to the view criteria I just defined.
But now, I can also personalize the Advanced Search. How can I disable this?
And is this the right way to create such a Search-form or do you have other suggestions?
Regards,

The model-based search is standard ADF functionality.
Jheadstart simply generate the search component on the page. There are a lot of addiitonal properties on af:query that you can set that we do not expose through the Jheadstart application definition editor.
You can create a custom template to set those additional properties.
See the af:query tag doc for more info:

How to make site search module work?

Hi guys
I am working on a sample site http://webmar.businesscatalyst.com/index.
I had insert a site search module but anyhow when i search for any query and click the Go button, it will go the searchresult page but nothing get displayed.
I do had placed a {module_searchresults} in the page content area of searchresult page.
How I populate by search result page?
Thanks
Andy

Andy make sure you index (re-index)your site
Modules > Site Search > Re- Index button
If site is a sample site ( demo mode ) I am not sure if it will index with new changes to the way demo sites works. Give it a try it may be ok internally, but wont index with S E unless live site
Good to re-index if made changes or added content

How to make advanced search?

Can someone help me figure out a way to make advanced searches in iTunes, especially in the App Store? Is there a way to make searches in specific categories for example or for a specific type of functionality. From what I can see, there is only a very generic search engine that will return result from the whole iTunes system, often ending up with thousands of results.
Thanks for any help.

From the main iTunes Store page, click "Power Search" at the upper-right of the page. You'll find additional search options there.
Regards.
