Is it just me or does the search feature in Lion appear to be completely non-functioning?

I know that the filename is in the folder I am searching, but Lion doesn't seem to think it's there. And there's no pinwheel to let me know it's working. It just acts like it doesn't work at all...
And while I'm at it, has anyone found a fix for the mystery of the moving desktop icons?

Is Spotlight done indexing? If not that may be why. If it has indexed, then you may need to force it to reindex. This assumes the file you want is not in a system folder. To force a reindex open the Spotlight preferences, click on the Privacy tab, drag the icon for your hard drive into the Privacy window. Wait about 30 seconds then select the listing and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. This will force Spotlight to reindex your drive, but you'll need to wait until that's done to check if it fixes the problem.

When there are several tabs open, why does the search always take place on the 2nd tab (the first tab seems never to change from the home page) despite my selecting a different tab in which to do a google search?

I have Mozilla Firefox 10.0. When I open it, it correctly opens on the homepage in the first tab. Once I have another, or several, tabs open, no matter which tab is active, any google search I do immediately takes place in tab No 2. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I go to e.g. tab 4 to do a search (because I wish to compare with the webpage open in tab 2), yet it always now does the search in tab 2. This is very irritating. There must be some setting that has gone pear-shaped, but where/which? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

In the search feature of the phone, does not work correctly

In the search feature of the phone, when typing a first name or last name, why does the search start with the letter A? For example, I type ME and the first name that pops up is Cecil. Cecil is in my contact list but not what I am searching for.

I believe when using the search feature, it searches more fields than just the first and last name. See if Cecil has something in his contact card that contains MA, such as an address, company name, etc. Otherwise, I generally do not find any problems using search.

The search feature in messages does not seem to work with pre IOS 7 messages

After updating to IOS 7 the search feature in the Messages app does not seem to work with messages received prior to the update. Texts received since the IOS 7 update search correctly. Is this a bug or a feature of moving to iMessages rather than just receiving standard texts?

Although not related to your question you have outdated ShockWave Flash Player go ahead and update your flash player by going to www.get.adobe.com/flashplayer
As for your problem, One of your add-ons might be the culprit too. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] with all add-ons disabled. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature, the photo is there. Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature the picture is there. Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

What system and iPhoto version are you running?
If your're using iPhoto 9 or later Command (right) - click on the photo in the search window and select Show Event in the Contextual menu.
That will take you to the event where the photo is.

IM Login problem Error while doing the search

Hi people,
I'm facing some strange behaviour with login for a couple of users, I have users that don't have problems to login and I have user that can't login, I'm sure that all of them are valid because they're login to Portal Server, and then launch the IMClient using SSO, users that can achieved the login can't found users that can't login using the "add contact" button of the IMClient.
In the javaws console I'm seeing this exceptions when a user can't login:

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance....

Finally we found the cause of the problems, for an strange reason if the user has the character '�' in his 'cn' o 'sn' he can't login, for example:
bash-3.00# ldapsearch -x -h ldap -p 389 -b "c=mx,o=isp" -D "cn=DirectoryManager" -w password "cn=mx.m524217" cn sn uid
version: 1
dn: cn=mx.m524217, ou=people, c=mx, o=isp
uid: m524217
sn: VERA TREVI�O
cn: mx.m524217
When a user login to IM made a search of users if he search a user that can't login that search doesn't found nothing and the exception I posted before appears in the javaws console.
But this only happened while we are using the gateway, if we point to the IM multiplexor directly we don't have all of this problems.
Regards..

If my ipad has a dint in it but it still worked for 7 months after that moment and know it just stoped working does the year warranty still apply

If my ipad has a dint in it but it still worked for 7 months after that moment and know it just stoped working does the year warranty still apply.

No. iPads that have any type of denting or physical damage (old or new) are not covered under the warranty. Apple would have no way of determining when the damage was done or if that damage caused your present issue.
I believe that once they see physical damage, their reasoning for voiding the warranty would be that visible, physical damage, irregardless of when it ocurred.

Double clicking the home button frequently opens the search feature instead of the multitasking feature. Any solutions?

As stated, double clicking my iPod's home button pulls up the search feature, when what I want is the multitasking feature. This issue is extremely frustrating; I don't even use the search feature! It doesn't matter if I make two deliberate clicks, two rapid clicks, or any variation in between. Sometimes it works, but the majority of the time, it just pulls up search. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a common problem? If so, would updating my iPod to the latest firmware fix the issue? Any help or advice would be appreciated, this is extremely annoying. Thanks!

Search should come if with only one click (from the home page). Try a Reset, if that does not work, a restore From backup. If still no go, you probably have a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius bar of your Apple store.

Is the search feature no longer working?

I have been trying to search the KBase for answers to posters questions but no matter what text I type in I simply get sent to a page that asks me to select a country, when I do it simply takes me to the main forum page. The same thing happens on the main forum page also. No matter what you do it won't work. If you are in a specific forum and use the search feature it will work within that forum but I cannot get it to work using the advanced search or on a search for a particular Kbase article. Even some of the links to kbase articles that I had return me with the same error. In fact, all of them do.
It seems a shame that all that knowledge is going to waste!!
Is there any idea what is happening and a timetable as to when it will be operational again?

Hi Al --
I've experienced this, too. I don't know the cause, but a work-around is, when you get that "select a country page," simply hit the "back" button on your browser so that you're once again on the search page and then hit the search button again.
It's worked for me in the past and I just tried it again just now to make sure and it still works.

The search feature in Address Book no longer works

I have over 2,400 contacts. For no apparent reason the search feature in my Apple Address Book no longer works. The Address Book app has quit several times recently, again for no apparent reason. It is probably unrelated, but Preview has also been quitting. I have repaired permissions and used Disk Warrior 4.4 to rebuild the directory. Any thoughts?

That was a while back...after a little research to jog my memory, it had to do with iCloud. I found this on another page, and I think this is what I did to fix it:
"I had the same problem and fixed it a slightly different (and probably safer) way:
Backup your Address Book - File > Export > Address Book Archive
Go into preferences > iCloud - untick syncing for Contacts
When it asks you, tell it to delete the contacts from your local Mac (all your local address cards will be deleted but they will still be in iCloud)
All your cards should now be deleted from Address Book on your Mac
Quit Address Book
Go into preferences > iCloud - tick syncing for Contacts (this will download your contacts into Address Book again)
Open Address Book and after a few secs you should see all your cards and the problem should be fixed"
The important part is to be sure to export your Address Book before doing anything. I think I ended up afater deleting all the cards and quitting address book, I reimported them from the backup I exported. Has been fine since. This is pretty safe as long as you have that exported file.

How do you get the search feature on the ipod 30gb ?

for some reason, my ipod 30gb does not have the search feature that i have seen on other ipods
hp dv6000 Windows XP

Interesting, I don't have such a feature, and I don't think that there is one. However I could be mistaken. Was the iPod connected to something, like a dock/stereo? Software for the iPods would probably have that feature if anything. I have the latest version, and yet, no search feature. I have a 60GB video iPod.

How do I get the search feature when I right click?

I just recently ran an update. Now I do not have the "search" feature when I right click. I used this extensively, and would really like the option back. I had to uninstall some things when I ran the update, because I didn't want the search engine or toolbar that automatically installed with the update. How do I get my right click search feature back?

The problem is that I've been able to do it in the past. I've been able to select any word and right click a search. Ever since I upgraded it, it's all messed up. I can't right click search, and I keep getting these stupid "You've won" websites popping up. Any suggestions on undoing the upgrade, and going back to the way things were?

Why doesn't the search feature work on my blog?

Does anything special have to be done (in terms of .Mac indexing my site) for the search feature to work? I've typed in words and phrases that definitely appear in my blog, but every search yields the same message:
Your search did not produce any results.
What's up with that? Anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

Try to re-publish all your iWebsite to .Mac or to export your website on disk and upload it again to your host. I also have a problem with search results... but I get too many...
Can you provide a link to your website?
Wish you a Happy new year
François
