Index/Search Question

Hello all,
Can someone tell me how I would go about and set up my Index OR search criteria so that whenever I perform a search that only file names are searched and not the actual contents of the documents?
For example, as it is setup right now, if I do a search on the word "Dog", I not only get returns for documents that have the word "Dog" in the title, but also documents that have the word "Dog" within the actual document.
I do not require a search with that degree of granularity so I was wondering where I could modify that.
I'm wondering if the fact that the Index performs at this level (searching within documents) would cause the Index to timeout if there are over 1,000 documents in the Index? I'm also having a timeout issue when I Index, but I've opened a call for that particular issue.
I'm using TREX 6.1, EP60 SP12 running on Windows 2003. EP and TREX are on separate servers.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Martin,
my quote is the easy way of putting it, really.
It works by representing entire documents, or text snippets, or groups of documents as vectors and comparing angles between them.
Mathematical principles that deal with the area of vector-based document classification can easily be found on the Web, although usually these principles are used in combination and modified to specific task. Some examples:
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/Keith/Chapter.3/Ch.3.html
http://people.revoledu.com/kardi/tutorial/KNN/
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~brabec/quadtree/nearest.html
http://svmlight.joachims.org/
http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~karypis/publications/Papers/Abstracts/centroid.html
http://www.support-vector.net/references.html
Should provide enough starting points for reading )
But do note:
This is for your background interest.
You will not be able to access or even modify the actual algorithms used by the TREX engine.
Regards,
Karsten

Index search freezes complete application

We are using the JavaHelp for the context-sensitive online help functionality in an application. A very strange error occurred:
The index search works fine for many search strings, but for many other search string the complete application freezes. One of these strings is "ab" and strings starting with "ab". This is very annoying, because many german words start with the letter combination "ab". There are other strings which do not work, f.e. strings starting with "orts" and those which do work sometimes, like "ort".
When I am writing, "the application freezes", I mean that you can only stop it via the Windows Task Manager. Since you are loosing all data which had not been safed until searching the help index, the behaviour is not tolerable for our application.
We are working with the de_DE.UTF-8 German locale.
Looking at the threads, we noticed, that one thread was running the isStringInString method of class javax.help.HelpUtilities endlessly.
I found a bug report (6195811 "jdshelp freeze at search with l10n string") which seems to be related to this problem and in which is mentioned the following:
"On de_DE.UTF-8 German locale, the following strings cause freeze.
- <compose> + 'a' + ''' + b + <compose> + 'b' + '''"
This indicates that other people, too, must have the problem.
Now my questions:
Do you have any ideas for a workaround?
Do you know, if it is possible to disable the index search? And if it is possible: How can it be done?
By the way, does anyone know, when JavaHelp 2.0_03 will be published? The quoted bug is mentioned to be fixed in 2.0_03.
Thank you very much!

Hi beap,
we are facing a similar problem. I filed bug report 6296005.
Do you use JRE 1.5? Our workaround is to use JRE 1.4.2, the bug does not occur with any JRE < 1.5.
When we detect that the user is running JRE 1.5, we just hide the Index tab. In our implementation of BasicHelpUI we do something like this:
     public void addNavigator(JHelpNavigator nav) {
        if(nav instanceof JHelpIndexNavigator) {
            final String java_version = System.getProperty("java.version");
            if (java_version.startsWith("1.5")){
                return;
        super.addNavigator(nav);
}It's an ugly hack but better than a customer who loses important data because our application freezes.
I will provide the help set to Sun so that they can further investigate and hopefully fix this bug.

CHM buttons are not localized in a French project (shows English Contents, Index, Search, Print, Hide buttons)

I opened an old WinHelp project into my new RoboHelp 7. When
I generate the CHM, even with the Project Settings in RoboHelp set
to French and running in a French Windows operating system (MS
Windows XP Pro 2002 SP 2), the CHM output is still in English. The
buttons display in English (Contents, Index, Search, Print, Hide
buttons). The title bar of the CHM also says "HTML
Help" even though the project title in the Project
Settings is "Aide en ligne...".
My Windows Regional Settings through the Control Panel -
Regional Options tab is set French (France). On the Languages tab I
under Text Services and Input Languages, Details button, I selected
French (France) French. On the Advanced tab I selected French. Then
I rebooted.
On the language bar on my Task pane, I selected FR. The CHM
still displays in English.
Please help! I have to produce 4 CHMS in languages other than
English today.
Thanks!

GinaL, would you be able to give us an update? Did the CHM
files look ok on a PC with a true French OS installed?
To avoid having to rewrite everything, I've written the
following info/instructions for my team -- though I'm not yet sure
they're 100% correct:
After I reported this issue to Adobe, they worked on the
problem for several days. They even sent me a new
HtmSingleSourceHtmlHelp.dll file that was supposed to solve the
problem. But it didn't work correctly. No matter what contortions
we put ourselves through, we couldn't get both of these items
correct in the CHM file at the same time, namely:
Index compiled in correct alphabetical order accdg to the
language of the help project.
Correctly translated help title showing in the caption,
regardless of the user's Windows regional settings. (For example,
we wanted "FORMS-Hilfe zu FORMS 5-3" to appear as the caption of
the German version of FORMS help, even if our regional settings
were set to English.)
I think we'd all agree that the index has to be in
alphabetical order. So from what I've seen, this is what we have to
do when compiling a non-English version of help using RH7:
1. Set up the project with the foreign name.
2. Set the language in the project settings. And in the
Project Settings dialog, click Advanced and check out the LNG File
tab to make sure it's using a translated version.
3. Ensure that the Window Caption setting is correct in each
window included in the project. (On RoboHelp's Project tab, open
the Windows folder, double-click each window in turn, and check the
settings.)
4. Set the Language setting in the HHP file to Language=[hex
value for that language]. I found a bunch of them listed on this
web page. Someone else might be able to find a better source:
https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/scoop/es_scoop_60/library/i18n/locale/nls/i18n_nls_lcid_tools.e
5. Change your Windows regional settings to the same language
as the help project. (Reboot if prompted.)
6. Recommended, for safety's sake: Delete the CPD file.
7. Open the project and compile using RH7.
8. Check the index's sort order -- is it in alphabetical
order according to the language of the project?
9. Check the help caption -- make sure it's not "HTML Help".
Note: Any customized buttons in your CHM should appear
correctly translated, but other buttons (Contents, Index, Search)
still appear in English -- at least they do on my PC, even though I
did step 2 above. We need to check whether those buttons appear
correctly when the PC is actually running a true foreign version of
Windows, and not just with temporarily adjusted Windows settings.
OR -- is anyone else able to get these to appear translated in the
CHM file?
Does anyone have anything to add? Other solutions? Easier
procedures? Better results to report?
Thank you
Eileen

Diff between index , search help , match code

wht is Diff between index , search help , match code

Hi,
There is no difference between Search helps and match code objects.
Search helps are the Advanced concept of Match codes.
SAP Converted match codes to Search helps.
Index :
An Index is a copy of database table having few numbers of fields. This copy is always in sorted form. As we know, Sorted data would always have a speed access from a database table. Hence, we use an index for the table while reading the database records. Index also contains a pointer pointing towards actual database table so that it can access fields that are not contained in the Index

Full text index searching in large document sets

I have been placed in charge of a digital PDF document library for a small biotech company. The library consists of about 1000 100-300 page .pdf documents which have been scanned and OCRed. In order to facilitate the full text searching of the documents a PDX catalog has been created. In theory, the PDX catalog would seem to be an excellent means of quickly accessing the data, but due the sheer volume of text that is contained in the documents this does not seem to be the case.
Any given search may take hours to complete and many computers in the department have been known to lock up due to the load of running a search. Obviously, this has made using the PDX search more of a hassle than it is worth.
I do not know exactly how the index searches work, but from what I gather they somehow search within each document in turn and return to you all the instances in all the documents that contain a certain term. If this is the case, than it would make sense that the searches would take a long time because the search would have to search each of the 1000 documents in sequence.
The thing is: we really do not need to know the context and placement of every instance that a word appears in a document. All we need to know is IF it appears, and perhaps how many times. Is there a way to make an index that will simply give us this information without having to search the actual document?
Heres an example of what I am trying to achieve:
Note: I know almost nothing about full text indexes so please forgive me if any of this sounds insane
Lets say we have a document called "word count.pdf" which contained the following text:
"blah blah yadda yadda text Recombinant human insulin more text still texting and so on"
And another called "word count 2.pdf" with the following text
"Recombinant human insulin and la la la dee do"
The indexes for these files could be condensed and stored like this:
"Word count.pdf"
Blah 2
yadda 2
recombinant 1
human 1
insulin 1
text 2
texting 1
and 1
so 1
on 1
"Word count 2.pdf"
recombinant 1
human 1
insulin 1
and 1
la 3
dee 1
do 1
In this example, if we were to run a search on "text" the index would return "word count.pdf, 3 instances (2 of text and 1 of texting" whereas if we were to search for "recombinant" it would return both "word count.pdf, 1 instance" and "word count 2.pdf, 1 instance".
This way, I could quickly weed out all documents that do not have the word that I am looking for and get an idea about which documents should be searched more in depth without scanning every single instance of the term in every document.
Is there any way to accomplish something similar to this using acrobat? (Or anything else, for that matter)
My specifications: (similar to specs of all computers searching the pdx):
Windows XP,
intel celeron CPU 2.6GHz, 1G of ram
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Look at dTSearch. We used the publisher version for a CD with large files sets (with hundreds of pages per file/thousands of PDF pages of multicolumn index data - text heavy), and it does a great job. The desktop version would provide the type of searching you are looking for. Indexing is also very fast. Our customer complained, like yourself, about the speed of searches in Acrobat 6 and higher - most of the delay is due to the population of the results window.

Contents/Index/Search/Glossary toolbar

The Contents/Index/Search/Glossary toolbar in my WebHelp
project only displays the text for one tab at a time.
For example, by default the project opens with the Contents
tab displayed. You can see the word "Contents" with the blue
background. However, for the rest of the tabs, you can only see the
icons on a white background. If you click on an icon, for example,
the Index icon, then the word "Index" and blue background display.
I want all the tabs to display with their words and on a blue
background at the same time. Can any of you help me? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
If you are using a skin, it is as simple as double clicking
the skin and setting the colours and text to what you want.
As described, there will no difference between the tab with
focus and the other tabs. Some small difference does assist
usability.

My updated help file only opens the TOC/Index/Search

I have to update an old project that uses WinHelp, so I installed RH X5 on an old XP machine. The original help file always opened in a 2-pane window with the ToC on the left and the default topic on the right. My "updated" help file only opens the ToC/Index/Search screen in a single pane. How do I get the 2-pane window to appear?
This is what I'm looking for

I have edited the topic title. The idea is to spell out the problem in the body.

Un-indexed searches killing server

I am suspecting our ldap server is getting killed with un-indexed searches. our v240 is overloaded and many searches time out. Performance is terrible to say the least. I have learned through a support call that an entry of notes=U is a sign that a search was not indexed. Note that I have many of the following in the log file:

and I check our indexes.. they all seem to be there. What am I missing? How do I go about finding what is not indexed..then indexing it?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Darren

I think it is related to (objectClass=*) which I believe is not indexed when part of sub searches. May I suggest that you write a test script to try the 2 filters that follow, and see what turns up in the log.
(&(&(&(displayName=*)(memberOfPIBook=e11a076dda8d9f))(|(objectClass=PITYPEPERSON)(objectClass=PITYPEGROUP)))(objectClass=*))
(&(&(displayName=*)(memberOfPIBook=e11a076dda8d9f))(|(objectClass=PITYPEPERSON)(objectClass=PITYPEGROUP)))Both should return the same details, as you are filtering on objectclasses that are either PITYPEPERSON or PITYPEGROUP.
Also check out [http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5277506&tstart=210|http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5277506&tstart=210] which has a similair issue, and seems to be related to having searches with multiple similar attributes in a filter.

A spotlight search question...(How to index a sever volume)

Hi
I am hopping someone can help me with this...
When using the spotlight, content search to search a local volume, it can find almost anything.
However, it doesn't work on a server volume.
Is there a way to indexing the server volume??
Thanks.

I am experiencing the same issue, hopefully help will come!

ToC, Index, Search appearing blank in RH8 Webhelp

Hello - I have been reviewing the forum questions and answers for about a year now - some great advice - but I can't seem to find an answer to my current problem, so I need to post it here.
I have recently upgraded our help system from RH7 to RH8. I generated Webhelp this week and all was well on my local system in both IE7 and FF3. The long list of every possible number and letter which was appearing in FF in the search column had disappeared and search was behaving exactly as I hoped. Nothing else looked anything other than perfect.
I made the submission to our engineering team and when it was integrated, I tested again. IE remains fine, but in FF, we get the "welcome" page, but an empty column where the ToC should appear. Same with the index - I can enter a keyword, but I get no results. Ditto for search.
Our test and production environments are different, obviously, than my local environment - I put the Webhelp output on an Apache server and all was well. It only breaks when it goes into the production environment.
I was told to tell you that our Apache server does a rewrite rule to Weblogic (9.2.3) - where, with the exception of the UGLY search results in FF from the RH7 Webhelp, all worked well with RH7 output. Our environment hasn't changed, so we believe that we may need to change something in a config file to accommodate changes in RH8. ( We made the changes to UTF-8 as recommended in earlier posts some months ago.)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Marla

Hi again
For the Adobe forums search, I find you have to search twice. The first search shouldl bring back some results. What you want is to get to the initial results page.
Click the image below to see at full size.
Now you see a different page.
Again, click the image to see at full size.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Outlook Index search not Work

I am trying to do a search inside of Outlook 2010. When I go to type in my search field, a box pops up and says that
SEARCH RESULTS MAY BE INCOMPLETE BECAUSE ITEMS ARE STILL BEING INDEXED. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.
So I click on that and a box pops up that says:
OUTLOOK IS CURRENTLY INDEXING YOUR ITEMS AND 39122 ITEMS REMAINING TO BE INDEXED.
So then I go to OPTIONS and I look under the tab called SEARCH.... and then I go to INDEXING OPTIONS... it says
40 ITEMS INDEXED. INSUFFICIENT DISK SPACE TO CONTINUE INDEXING. SEARCH RESULTS MIGHT NOT BE COMPLETE.

Hi,
Here are some resolution you can refer to :
1. check if the pst-file or mailbox has been marked to be indexed:
File-> Options-> section Search-> button Indexing Options…-> button Modify-> expand Microsoft Outlook
In the list that is shown under Microsoft Outlook, make sure that pst-file or mailbox is displayed and selected. If it is not listed, we can recreate the profile. If it’s listed, we can check if the pst file is corrupted.
2. Rebuild the index: Control Panel-> Indexing Options-> Advanced-> button Rebuild
For more information, you can refer to the following article:

Does Spotlight index/search Aperture keywords?

I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere:
Does Spotlight (OS X 10.5) index and search keywords that are assigned in Aperture? IOW: is the Aperture library indexed?
I recently bought Aperture and have imported thousands of photos into various Projects. I've been adding new keywords (all my files are referenced to their original place on the filesystem) but when I go to do a Spotlight search or create a SavedSearch/Smart Folder none of the images I've tagged in Aperture appear in the results.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks--

Error using index search field in flash help

Hello again,
Hopefully this will be an easy question. In Flash help, when
on the Index tab, if I use the search box to search for an index
word, the following error displays: "A script in this movie is
causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run,
your computer may become unresponsive. Do you wish to abort
the script?" Note: It usually works the first time I search for a
word, but if I search for a second word it gives the error.
If I tell it NOT to abort the script, the computer still runs
slowly. If I tell it to go ahead and abort the script, Internet
Explorer freezes up.
Is there something that I can change in the code anywhere to
prevent that from happening in the first place? Alternately, is
there a way to change the skin to completely remove that input
field? It's not necessary to our process to have it there, so long
as the index entries are there with the scroll bar.

I tried to modify the skin, and what ends up happening is
that if I remove the input field, the entire index disappears. I've
tried modifying the xml file to simply remove the single line of
code that calls the input field for the index, and again... the
index displays as empty at that point, and unusable. This may be
due to my ruidmentary (at best) skills with flash, xml, etc.
I asked our in-house web team and Flash team to look at the
index issue, and they discovered something strange. The index only
breaks if the index word entered starts with the letter A. Has that
ever happened to anyone else? We’ve tried multiple help
projects on multiple boxes (computers), and the results have been
very inconsistent. Sometimes the index breaks, sometimes not, but
ONLY when the index entry starts with an A.
