Index created but no search results

After a bit of trouble I dropped and then created the interMedia indexes for the documents in my portal content areas. I had too many documents to use the web interface so I used the plsql scripts (ctxdrind.sql and ctxcrind.sql) to drop and recreate the indexes. The indexes show up in my database with 1.33 million rows of data but nothing is ever returned in the search results from the portal. The search was working but stopped updating itself a few weeks ago because the process was killed during a server move. Since it had been awhile since it was synched up, I dropped and recreated but now nothing is returned. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

Intermedia text is now Oracle Text, you will want to post this question in the Oracle text forum:

Unless a text person happens to go in here every now and then.
You may want to post it in the portal forum as well.

How to: Create a custom search result screen?

Hello,
Is it possible to create a custom search result screen?
I need it because the users must be able to directly e-mail
the items or a selection of the items returned by the search.
For this modification of the standard result page isn't sufficient.
Thanks,
Steven.

How do you create a custom search result for surrounding suburbs for a real estate website?

I have a Web App for property listings for a real estate website. There are item fields as follows:
Suburb List:
Edensor Park
Hoxton Park
Denham Court
Cecil Hills
Abbotsbury
Surrounding Suburb List:
Edensor Park
Hoxton Park
Denham Court
Cecil Hills
Abbotsbury
Say a property is listed in Edensor Park as the main suburb and Hoxton Park and Denham Court are also selected as its surrounding suburbs.
On the website's search form, the visitor selects, for example, Edensor Park. I need the search results to show everything listed in Edensor Park as well as in the surrounding suburbs of Hoxton Park and Denham Court. Is this at all possible?
Thanks,
Veronica.

The Filter settings are sticky. Every container listed on the Library tab of the Inspector keeps it's own Filter settings, set to whatever was last used.
I'm not aware of any way to set a default Filter.
You could create a Folder and put a Smart Album in that Folder with "Source" set to the Folder. Any Albums or Projects you put in the Folder become the superset for the Filter you set in the Smart Album. This is a pretty sophisticated set-up, however. What is the filter you need, and how often do you need it?

Create PDF from Search results...

Hello all.
I am currently creating PDF's of all my company websites. We are going to uses these PDFs as sources of information.
Basically, We are going to use Acrobats search functionality to search across a large number of PDFs of the websites. Lets say I search for "Cancer"
The search results come back with the PDF document title link and link to the exact page were the words Cancer is found.
What I would like to do it to be able to create one PDF based on all the pages located in the search results.
Is it possible to automate this process without having to physically open every page and extract it?
Cheers
John

Hi,
You can use Adobe Services to create PDF using Webdynpro.
You can display your search results from SAP R/3 in a PDF file.

Art on Podcast Page but Not Search Results

Podcast art shows up fine on my iTunes podcast home page, but only the generic podcast art shows on an iTunes search results page.
From my brief research (clicking on other generic podcast art in search results), this problem seems unique to my podcast. Most generic podcast art in an iTunes search result yields generic podcast art on the iTunes podcast home page.
I'd like my podcast art to show up on BOTH my iTunes podcast home page and in iTunes search results. Any idea if that reflects a problem with my artwork? Maybe a quirky spec problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kelli

As with many things in iTunes, this problem resolved itself. This morning when I ran a search that would contain my podcast in the result, my podcast popped up with the proper art in place.
I did, however, sent an email to iTunes support yesterday afternoon. From the response (which did not seem to address my question at all) I was not expecting a fix but maybe there was some help from iTunes.
Not sure - but happy to say it is resolved.

Creating alert from search results on web content *DEEPWEB*?

Hope this an appropriate location to post this question.
Looking for suggestions on approaching this problem [hoping for an ArchWay approach ]
1. Login to ssl secure website with user id and password [CURL?]
2. Perform a search for an article/award/bid notification with a set of keywords [CURL?]
3. Parse (tokenize) the results to identify amounts greater than $5,000 - [AeroText, LingPipe, NetOwl, Inxight... others???]
4. Produce an alert with results and links to specific items [db and rss feed or some alerting mechanism]
Looked at CURL but not sure if there is perhaps another framework to leverage (can start from scratch but trying not to reinvent the wheel).
Any ideas, suggestions greatly appreciated from the community.
Thanks,
Dave

The Mechanize gem is perfect for automating sites like this (Ruby).
gem install mechanize
The (untested) example below:
- logs into an SSL website (handling cookies etc)
- searches for a list of keywords
- stores results for a hash for storage/email etc
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# encoding: utf-8
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
# create a browser agent and set its alias
agent = Mechanize.new { |a| a.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari' }
words = %w( i can haz taco? ) # list of keywords
result = Hash.new { |h, k| h[k] = [] } # hash default is an array
agent.get('https://www.tacos-vs-poutine.com/') do |page|
# login to the site
form = page.form_with(:name => 'login')
form.email = 'vegemite'
form.password = 'sandwich'
page = agent.submit(form)
# search site for each word
words.each do |word|
search_result = page.form_with(:name => 'search') do |search|
search.q = word
end.submit
# store results in a hash
search_result.links.each do |link|
if link.text.to_i > 5000
result[word] << link.text
end
end
end
# store results in DB, convert to RSS feed, email etc
# eg: Sequel + Sqlite3, RubyRSS, Mail gems
end
** EDIT: fixed syntax

Indexes created but shows as missing

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue ,where the system log shows that indexes are successfully created from drop indexes after successful data load. but there are missing secondary indexes existing for the same cube in DB02.
There are two process chains based on this cube.
WHAT MAY BE THE REASON AND HOW TO RESOLVE THAT?
PLEASE HELP

Hi Chandran,
Thanks for your reply but this program is not defined in the system.I have manually repaired all the indexes but iam curious to know why its showing missing indexes where as system is showing indexes are built successfully.
u got any clue?

Is anyone else having a problem using "search" in the store. Everything else seems find but selected search results produce a blank screen.

Every time I try to use 'search' in iTunes, it will bring up available related results, but when you click one the results screen is blank. Plus I'm continuing to notice since downloading iOS 6 this phone seems a little glitchey and slow at times

Same here. Searching iTunes Store and touching a result often results in blank screen. Hopeless isn't it. Can't select and download a film because of it. Stuff in the featured/category/chart sections selects ok, it's just searched items for me. Surely others have noticed same with ios6. This only happens on my iPhone 4. On iPad 3 search is fine but I think it's different because iPad 3 tends to bring a kind of pop out window when selecting.

No search results found

Hello,
I have created an index with index service Portal Roles Search & set the datasource as well. But the search result is returning nothing though i give a valid document. The crawler is set to standard. Any ideas?
Regards,
Rukmani

Just see the desc. of the error if can click on it .Pls check the Display Queues .It will show the status ,whether it is failed or not. You could try re-creating an index and then re-indexing .then you would have to restart the server after this.
One doubt , Is the portal service that you are using
TREX search ????

Custom Metadata is not in Search Result result set

Hello. I have created a custom metadata xDAMAuthor. I have used it in a rule for check-in profile. Also have check-in a content by filling this field. Now the search form has this metadata as one of its field and I can search by using this field, also the search result returns the aforesaid content which I have checked-in. When I am looking into the SOAP format of the GET_SEARCH_RESULTS then that metadata is not there in the row of the SearchResults resultset. But if I see the SOAP format of the DOC_INFO of that content the DOC_INFO resultset contains that metadata. How can I solve the problem?
Note: In the Admin Applet->Configuration Manager->Information Fields, Enable for Search Index is checked for this metadata.
Thanks.

the search result returns the aforesaid content which I have checked-in
And do you see you metadata in the results? I guess you don't. Unless you followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10797/c03_finding_files.htm#CIHEFHAI and created a custom search result template.
I am sure that GET_SEARCH_RESULTS have all the metadata from returned items somewhere (probably in a result set), but I'm not sure what's returned - it could be very well the row as you see in the browser. Therefore, you might tried to use your custom search result template in your call (in fact, I think for a user always the default one is used).
Should be easy to give it a try.

Setting Custom Master page in search results page - Publishing site

Hi,
I have a publishing site, in which i have a custom Master page.
However when doing the search in the site, the search results does not show the custom Master page.
Is it possible to set the custom created Master page for the search results page? How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
The search page for a publishing site is a file available in the layouts folder (I believe it is the osssearchresults.aspx if you see the address bar). It is used by all web applications and site collections in your farm. So ideally you should not change
it. I mean you can change it to point to your master page but it is bad practice ..
I would instead do the following
1. Create a custom search results web part page and place it in the site collection itself (one of the document libraries)
2. Custom search results is not difficult because all search results pages are made of a set of Out of the box search results web parts. If you add the same webparts to your page as the default search results page, you have effectively created a copy of
it
3. go to site settings --> search settings and change the search results page to your newly created page
4. The newly created page by virtue of its location will automatically use the master page the rest of the site uses.
I could not spend the time to try the above for you but I am sure the above will work.
Thanks and Regards,
Partha

SharePoint 2013 custom search Result Type for "Documents" not showing up as option

I'm trying to create a custom search Result Type called "Documents" that will filter to MS Office filetypes and PDF's.
However, when I perform a search, although many of these types of files show up in the results, I don't have "Documents" as a Result Type option.
Here are the steps I'm following:
From my Enterprise Search Center subsite: Site Settings > Manage Result Types.
New Result Type.
Name: Documents
Source: Documents (System) - this out-of-the-box Result Source appears to cover the filetypes I need.
Types of content: I've tried leaving it blank (to match all content) and specifically picking the types I want.
What should these results look like? Office Document Item.
Check Optimize for frequent use.
Save.
I then go back to my search center and search for a common keyword. Many in-scope file show up in the search results. However, under Result Type, I don't see "Documents," even if I click "SHOW MORE."
Please advise.
Thanks.
Brad

@Mikael As you say, to display the exact results when we click a result source, we should implement logic code to check whether item should be displayed. I have followed steps nearly the same as the topic owner but I saw nothing different between Everything
and my custom Result Type.
Here are the steps I'm following:
Create a custom result type, named Job, and specify a custom display template for it.
Set its condition to filter list items that have JobName site column ( JobName is site column's managed property) equal of any "IT" or "Doctor".
I search for "Perter", it returns 5 items with Everything. I expect that it should return 3 items since only those items contain JobName site column.
Search is fun but rather headache sometimes, give me advise please :)
Thanks,
Hoan.

Search Results web part - Custom Query using "Value with a parameter from URL" inconsistent

I have encountered what I think may be a bug, but I am hoping that there is something that I am missing.
Within my search site, I have created a new search results page where I want to customize the "Search Results" web part query. I can add in any number of property and keyword filters (using the "Build Your Query" dialog) without
issue... until I add a filter that uses the QueryString property (the builder dialog calls this "Value with a parameter from URL").
If I use {QueryString.MyParameterX} for filtering, it works beautifully in the query builder dialog. I see the expected results in the search results preview pane, but as soon as I apply the changes things become inconsistent.
If I close/reopen my browser and navigate to my page at http://myaddress/search/Pages/testresults.aspx?MyParameterX=test I see results. If I then refresh the page, I get a "Nothing here matches your search" message. I can then go to
the same address but change one character to an uppercase character and get results. Refreshing that same page again returns "Nothing here matches your search". I can only get search results one time per uniquely cased URL without having
to close/reopen my browser. This behavior was seen on both Firefox and IE.
Finally, I found that if I instead navigate to http://myaddress/search/testresults?MyParameterX=test, it always returns results. This, unfortunately isn't the best solution for me... but it is a solution.
Any insight that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated! I would really like to be able to depend on this working in all logical cases (especially since the search center of other sites is set using the path all the way down to /Pages).
Thanks!

Hi, have you been able to solve this issue? I'm getting the same issue and I cant solve it (required CU is installed).

Show the custom popup window on clicking the people name in sharepoint people search result

Show the custom popup window on clicking the people name in sharepoint people search result
We are doing the below code to open a popup but while clicking on name link its postback the page and not opening the popup in first click but opening in second click.The same issue occurs while navigate to second page using pagination
The below code used to show name in item template
<button id="NameFieldLink" class="temp" style="font-size: 12px;text-decoration:none;color:#0072c6;border:0px solid #fff;background:transparent;margin-left: 1px;height: 15px;padding: 0 10px 17px 0px;text-align: left;cursor:pointer;font-family:
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" title="">_#= DisName =#_</button>
The below jquery code used to open popup in control search template
ctx.OnPostRender = [];
ctx.OnPostRender.push(function () {
$(".temp").on("click", function(event)
event.preventDefault();
$('#fadeout').show();
$('#pop1').find('.tab-content-people').html($(this).closest('.emp-card').find('.pop-content').html());
$('#pop1').show();
return false;

I believe the issue is that you are not actually searching against the result source you made in step #1.
It's not enough to make a result source, you have to tell the search results web part to use it.
Try this:
1. Go to the Pages library of Search Center
2. Create a new Search Results page
3. Edit the page, then edit the search results web part
4. Change the source for the search results web part to your source
5. Add the page to your Search Center navigation
6. Run the search on that page

Hi

in this direction?
So my requirement is bascially create the Result type with custom display template. Please suggest how to do using powershell script or sharepoint object model.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create search result source programmatically in SharePoint 2013.
Here are some links about creating search result source programmatically for you to take a look:
