Iplanet search engine

I have been trying to get newer conversion filters for MS Word and MS Excel documents for out installation of iplanet 6 sp2. I only just noticed that iplanet search isn't using any converson filters for these documents at all (if I look at the html converted text, its the same as what you would see in notepad when opening a Word or Excel documents).
Has anyone had any success at all getting netscape/iplanet/sun one search to properly index Word and Excel documents? How can I get conversion filters for these documents and how can I install them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The SunONE Web Server uses the Verity Search Engine. Filters that work with the Verity engine should work with SunONE WS as well.

What search engines does iPlanet Portal support

iPlanet Portal Server facilitates search services by integrating iPlanet Compass Server with it.
iPlanet Compass Server has built-in search engine and also Verity search engine forms part of it.

IPlanet Web Server 4.1 sp9 search engine

Hello,
In the search engine, when I try to create a new collection, iPlanet tells me the following message:
Unexpected Failure:Error initialising loader, Please check the loader error log.
Any idea where is the trouble?
Thank you
J. Carlos

We have been using iWS4.1 SP11 with JDK 1.3.1 for a while now and it works without any problems. Our config was on Win2K Adv Server. The only thing to watch out for is the jvm12.conf configuration settings:
jvm.option=-server
jvm.minHeapSize=???
jvm.include.CLASSPATH=0
If you are using http-sessions, you might want to incr minheap to start with.
Hope this helps,

Can I use the search engine and run a web application under the same iPlanet 6.0 virtual server?

I've got an iPlanet 6.0 SP2 virtual server with the search engine enabled, which was tested and working. I then deployed a web application to it (mapped to "/"), and the web application works fine but now the search functionality is completely broken. Browsing to /search results in a directory index being displayed. Is there some trick to getting the two working together? I tried shuffling NameTrans directives around, but can only get either the search or the web app working, not both.

Ok, I'm going to answer my own question now...
The issue has been resolved after some additional experimentation on my part. There were two causes for my problem:
1. The NameTrans directives in obj.conf are in the wrong order when Java and Search are enabled from the administration interface.
Here's the admin server generated obj.conf I started with initially, when the web application was working, but requests to the URI "/search" returning a 404 error:
<Object name="default">
NameTrans fn="NSServletNameTrans" name="servlet"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/search-ui" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/plugins/search/ui" name="es-internal"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/mc-icons" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/ns-icons" name="es-internal"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/manual" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/manual/https" name="es-internal"
NameTrans fn="es-search-nametrans" from="/search"
NameTrans fn="NSServletNameTrans" name="servlet"
NameTrans fn="document-root" root="$docroot"
</Object>
Here's my obj.conf now, which works perfectly:
<Object name="default">
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/search-ui" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/plugins/search/ui" name="es-internal"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/mc-icons" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/ns-icons" name="es-internal"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/manual" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/manual/https" name="es-internal"
NameTrans fn="es-search-nametrans" from="/search"
NameTrans fn="NSServletNameTrans" name="servlet"
NameTrans fn="document-root" root="$docroot"
</Object>
The "servlet" NameTrans directive needs to go below all others which map a URI to a function or directory (but before "document-root"), or they break. This is consistent with the iPlanet documentation on NameTrans, but the admin server doesn't get it right!
2. The developer who wrote the web application uploaded a directory named "search" in the root of his application, which caused the server to display a directory index of "/search", instead of executing the search function. I believe this issue is covered in an iPlanet knowledge base article.

Search Engine Conversion Filters

Does each service pack of iplanet/sun one web server install newer conversion filters for the search engine (word, excel, pdf etc.)? Generally, how new are these filters compared to data formats (Office XP etc.)?
We are running iplanet 6 sp2 and the search engine seems to stumble with newer ms office and acrobat files. I have not been able to find any documentation whatsoever on obtaining and installation newer conversion filters. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Typically the filters included in Service Packs are not changed unless there is a defect that needs addressing.
The SunONE Web Server uses the Verity search engine. Filters that work with Verity's offerings should work with SunONE WS.

Compass Search Engine .. Category

Hi,
I have a compass search engine installed over iplanet web server 4.
I also have an instance of web server 6 installed on the host machine.
The compass search engine is used for searching the contents of the iws6. There is a requirement for creating another search engine, which is search only the documents under a particular sub directory.
I am using spider technique to generate the search index database. My concern here is even if i am able to index below a particular sub directory, would it not index the pages above it.
To clarify this suppose there is a page in docroot/dep/finance and if it has URL reference to a page in docroot/dep. And if i run the spider on docroot/dep/finance would it not index also docroot/dep.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance

How do I add multiple scripts from search engines to my meta tag properties?

I currently have copied the goolge script for website varification and analytics, etc and pasted it into my meta tag properties dialog box. There is no problem as far as Google varifying the page. However, I would like to copy Bing's search engine script into my meta tag in addition to Googles script. How do I go about doing this? Do I hit the return on my keyboard under the ending of Googles script, then paste in the Bing script?
The the last part of the Google script ending in this:
</script>
(paste new script from Bing here?)
Will this cancel out each other and cause problems?
Can someone walk me through this process, because Bing's search engine will not varify my site through two of the three other methods.
Ben

Adding a script after the closure of previous script is the way to go i.e. right after the </script> tag.
So it should look something like below:
<script>
Google's script
</script>
<script>
Bing's script
</script>
Cannot comment on one interfering with the other since it really depends on what exact code is there in the scripts. Google and Bing help resources will be able to help more with this.
Thanks,
Vikas

How do I delete a toolbar that was added by a plugin? Plug-in's been uninstalled, but the toolbar is still there and any new tabs open on their search engine (even though I have Tab Mix set to open tabs on a duplicate page). Help?

Running Firefox on Windows XP3. I installed a plugin from Savevid.com, which they now require. (I've used that site for at least a year with no problem ever.) Everything was fine but it added a toolbar to my browser, and it seems to have reset Firefox somehow so that any new tab opens on "Searchqu", some low-rent search engine. I uninstalled the plug-in altogether, but the toolbar is still there, and I can't make the reset on the search engine go away. I use Tab Mix Plus (also never had this problem before with it), but no matter what I do, the tabs will not open to anything other than searchqu. (Tab Mix has the option to open to a duplicate tab - what it was using BEFORE all this - but changing that no longer has any effect.)
Anyone know how to deal with a problem like this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Error message trying to install new search engines

I am running Firefox 19.0.2 installed yesterday on a new desktop PC at the office. (Old PC failed to boot on Monday.) I have completed most of my customization without difficulty. However, when I try to install new search engines, it doesn't seem to matter which one, I get a pop-up error message:
"Sorry, you need a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox) to install a search plug-in."
I had no problems installing new search engines under Firefox 16 3rd quarter of last year when I started this job. Why am I unable to install search engines in FF 19?

Hello lafritz65, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
thank you

I want name on address bar goes to home page, not search engine

Just today I hooked up a new modem/router that I purchased at a WIndstream store. I have been browsing the internet for years with Firefox. I have changed the keyword.url setting in my Firefox configuration (see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/833252#answer-197476) so that the new version would act like the old version and go directly to the webpage when the name was typed in the address bar. For example: when I type in "windstream" (no ".net" or".com") I would go directly to windstream' home page.
However, when I hooked up my new modem/router I my browser is hijacked and goes to a Windstream search page. I have tried everything from re-installing Firefox, re-changing the "keyword.url" setting, I even tried the Firefox ad-on here (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/browse-by-name/).
All to no avail......there is something that has changed by adding Windstream's hardware and connecting to their network that will not allow me to use this function of Firefox.
Nothing else changed, but a new piece of hardware.....
Changed keyword.url to : http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Re-installed Firefox after cleaning all history and cookies.
Tried the add-on "Browse by name"
Wasted my time calling Windstream tech support.
Changed to openDNS
Tried to disable the feature through Windstream's web page, but then it just happens with the new search engine.

Opt-out of Windstream's search service: Type in something to get their sneaky web search page to come up, then click the tiny link at the bottom right "about this page". That sends you to a page where you can opt-out of their service.
To opt-out from their "valuable" sneaky service, you have to choose to opt-in to another search service.
You have to do this with each browser. And it still sends you to your search engine's results page, not to your URL the way you might want it to.
I would rather the default be to allow me to opt-in if I choose to, not have to jump through hoops to find out how to opt-out. It's taken me weeks to discover this. Annoying!

Reset the "awesome bar" (address bar) search engine

I had to install some crapware, and it made me install snap.do. This was a mistake. I have completely removed snap.do, so I think, but it has injected itself somehow within firefox. I have removed it entirely, cept for when i type anything in the address bar for a search, it currently only searches http://search.snapdo.com/?st=ds&q= its driving me quite batty. Please read my things I have done before you post.
Things I have done..
- Switched the "search box" search engine.
I've tried to switch it to something else like yahoo, and then switch back to google, then type in the ADDRESS BAR, still defaults to snap.do. I've also tried all sorts of things, as I believe since firefox 23 whatever you have selected in the search box, will default for the address bar, in my case.. no.
- keyworld.url or any about:config search for snap or snapdo or snap.do or *
Listen, this has been gone since firefox 23. I'm running version 27.0.1, ITS NOT THERE DONT SUGGEST THISSS FKJALSDFLKAJSD. I've also tried the keyworld.url hack. First time I tried there was a snap.do keyword and i was like "EFFFIN AAAA!". But after a restart, snapdo still took over.
- Firefox>help>troubleshoot>reset
I'll punch you in the face if you even remotely suggest this, i've done it 329049320 times ;)
- Malware/antivirus/dafjkdsj tool.
Unless it directly removes snap.do dont even tempt me.
- uninstall/reinstall
Ok.. c'mon, you think I havent tried this?
-add/remove programs
rly?
Ok so you see my frustration here? One more list..
Things I will not do..
- Delete my firefox profile.
I'd just really rather not, as history is how I browse some stuff. and well other things as well, I mean in the end, if i must i must.
But if anyone has any other ideas on how i can force firefox to a search engine please let me know, and i will be your friend ;D

Cor-el has suggested to create a new profile, and as I can see in your initial question posting, it was stated that if you had to, you would do it. So, if you could please do - it would be appreciated.
Something I suggest is a clean reinstall, however that is something you would not like obviously but I will enter those instructions here anyways so you can look over it.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Address bar & search engine bar not working

On a Windows XP (Version 5.1) laptop with FireFox version 31, the following occurs:
Typing and pressing enter in the address bar does nothing; neither does clicking the "go" arrow at the end of the address bar. FireFox doesn't auto-complete entries, nor will it navigate to any websites including searching via Google. Also, you cannot type "about:home" or any other variation of an "about:" entry. Additionally, you cannot "Paste & Go." The address bar is populated with the clipboard text, but it doesn't perform the "Go" action.
The Search Engine Bar has no option for Google, Bing, etc. When clicking "Manage Search Engines" no other options are present. When clicking the "Get more search engines..." link on the window, no action is performed - no tab opens to search add-ons - just nothing.
I am able to open the FireFox menu and I can press Alt and view/use the File/Edit/View menus.
I've already performed the following steps and NOTHING changed in any attempts:
- uninstalled/reinstalled FireFox
- started FireFox in Safe Mode
- Reset FireFox
The TS info is listed below, but as the software has been cleanly installed today, there are no logs or detailed data.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

WHY CAN I NOT EDIT THE DEFAULT SEARCH ENGINE USED BY THE ADDRESS BAR (NOT THE SEARCH BAR NEXT TO IT) FROM BING TO GOOGLE?

I am asking this question again, because upon checking the forum for a solution I was shocked and appalled by the severe lack of grammar, punctuation and spelling I encountered while reading answers to this question. Obviously several people where to busy to actually read the question being asked and simply answered with instructions on how to change the default search engine for the search bar. SO, here I am asking the same question, why? because it still has not been answered and I myself still CANNOT find this setting anywhere. I use multiple browsers for different tasks, Chrome is KICKING the .... out of you guys Mozilla, why did you ever let your self get taken in by Micro-crack (Microsoft), if I recall correctly the inception of this program was partly motivated by the need for an alternative to the idiosyncrasies and vulnerability of Microsoft Internet Explore. This really feels like a HUGE step backwards, I would love to see a return to the days when Mozilla Firefox was and inspiration to developers and techs everywhere. And please will someone just answer the right question this time. Trust me when I say it will be obvious who does and does not read this in it's entirety.

HAHA! I have solved it! Ok here is the URL for Google, as mentioned above by bram:
"Go to About:config
Search for keyword.URL
Double click the Value entry field, and change it to the search engine you prefer"

How to expose Web App data to search engines

Hi Guys - Need direction please
My website contains a business directory (web app)
The web app items are in a secure zone (the client only want registered/paid members to create their business profiles) = customer submitted web app
It is also required that the directory is indexed by "elgooG".
When searching for a type of business on "elgooG", they want the listed business information found, with a link to the actual detail
e.g.: website.com\directory\Joe-blogs-plumbing
First problem, the web app item sits behind a login (secured)
How would you configure this so that we have the Web App item secured (paid), but also visible to search engines and general public?
Much appreciated

There is no reason for the whole web app to be under a securezone.
Once you assign the owner of the item they can only edit it when they login.
All you need to do is have a listing directory on your site that shows these. IF you do not want that and it only under a securezone of course it will never get indexed by google.
If you want the public listing of these you just need a page and put in the web app module that outputs the list. Things like the edit link wont show unless your logged in.

Hi Timia,
If you are using Safari as a web browser :-
Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > General, and put Google as the homepage. Then, choose Google as your default search engine.
If you are using Google Chrome as the web browser :-
Open Google Chrome.
In the top right corner of the page, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu > Settings.
In the "Search" section, select Google from the drop-down menu.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh
