Is it possible to do Fast Search

is there anyway of doing fast search when looking for an album or a particular song? For example right now to go to an album or song starign with "Z" alphabet, i have to keep on scrolling through a............z untill i have come to the right album. In my previous creative mp3 player they had a fast search option, where you can select the first few alphabet to get close to the album. Is there a way around this problem? Thanks.

Since you're new to the iPod, you might not realize that scrolling with the click-wheel increases speed exponentially.
If you consistently scroll with a constant motion around the wheel... the scrolling gets faster and faster. Even with a list of thousands of items, you can easily reach the end of the list in only a few seconds.
It takes some getting used to.

Fast searching across shared schemas?

Is there a way to efficiently search on common elements of XML documents using different schema's?
Example:
A BASIC schema with elements A,B,C. An EXTENDED schema which imports the BASIC schema namespace and adds fields X,Y,Z.
Can the shared elements (A,B,C) of the two schemas be shredded into the same table to facilitate fast searching over common elements?
We are looking at using XML DB for a "profile" retrieval system containing 2,000,000 XML docs of size 5-15Kb spanning 20 different schemas.
XML would hopefully provide long-range flexibility for handling the various profile requirements and leaving the complexities of indexing and searching to the XML indexing engine.
Any suggestions or comments as to XML DB suitability appreciated.
Thanks,
Blythe

You have not missed anything.... Leopard promises but does NOT deliver.
I use an AFP server with Bonjour enabled. And NO NO NO Spotlight search is possible on this network volume...
This is outrageous and FALSE information....
Oh and - that Leopard is Sporting 300 new features is false info too.... Not even the "What is New in Leopard" says anything about 300 features.. But it sounds great doesn't it....

They are very, very different beasts.
Firstly FAST Search for SharePoint is the old name for the product and is only relevant for SharePoint 2010 not 2013. It got merged into the standard SharePoint search for the 2013 release.
SharePoint search is aimed at providing a Bing or Google like experience for your intranet content, as well as providing some nifty features that are purely SharePoint releated along the way. That means it can crawl SharePoint content, file shares,
outlook mailboxes, internal and external websites and probably fifty other different things if you really tried. Whilst i'm not an expert on SQL full text search I believe it's intended to provide a search feature for content held within SQL databases
and tables.
Can you run SharePoint purely for Search? Yes, definitely.

SharePoint FAST Search 2010 not returning pdf files in search results

Does anyone know why FAST Search 2010 is not returning pdf files in the results page.
I'd checked the crawl log and the total files crawled indicates that the pdf file is picked up by the crawl.
Thanks,
Leon

Only crawling one list not whole site collection in FAST Search 2010 for SP

Hi, I have one site collection and created different Lists inside it. Now I'd like to add some lists to the Content Source for FAST crawling. Everything fine but the search result includes other Lists that not added to the content source.
I know that we can add exclude rule to FAST Search, but it's difficult to add them all and we will create more lists in near future. We only need few lists to be crawled, so is there a solution for this issue?
Thank you.

Hi JOSHUA,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to make Fast Search only show results from the specified lists.
I recommend to create search scopes for SharePoint Fast Search and then you can filter the results by using the search scopes.
More information about creating search scopes in SharePoint Fast Search for you to take a look:

Is it possible to change the search help to have Scroll capability instea

I am using ABAP Webdynpro. is it possible to change the search help to have Scroll capability instead of Next Page/Next line/Last line. We would rather use a search help to do this as the user wants to have their own personal value list.

Found the answer on SDN

Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 - Searching numbers

Here is the scenario. I have some documents each has a number in the content. The number is 10 digits long and the number contain leading zeros but the length will not be more than 10 digits. e.g. 0000123456
Once I index the documents in FAST Search (not MS Enterprise Search) I want to search for any number without adding the leading zeros in the search query.
Unless otherwise I enter the full number(with leading zeros), search will not give the document. Does anyone has similar experience and if so what was the approach you followed in order to solve it?
Thanks,
Kolitha de Silva ----------------- www.dkolitha.com / dkolitha.wordpress.com

Kolitha,
Assuming that the field is a string, you can try to use proximity operators especially if you know the last digits for example:
field:ends-with ("123456")
Alternatively, may be you can try:
NOT(field:starts-with("0000"))

Is it possible to have multiple search results page using one Search Enterprise Center site?

Hi,
We're using SharePoint 2013 and I'm trying to modify the search results page for one site collection. By default, it uses the search results page from the parent site which is the search center being used by default for the web application. I need to make
sure that the site collection will only retrieve search results within the site collection (search everything has to be disabled). I found a way but I had to create another search center site to accomplish this, otherwise, it will affect the search center
site of all other site collections on the web app.
Now is it possible to have multiple search results page using one Search Enterprise Center site?

Hi,
According to your description, you want to retrieve the search results within the site collection.
As a workaround, you can create a custom result source for the site collection and you will retrieve the search result within the site collection.
More information about how to create result source in SharePoint 2013, please refer to :

FAST ESP 5.3 - is the FAST Search API of ESP 5.3 compatable with OS: Red Hat 5.1 & JDK: 1.6 Update 81 ?

FAST ESP 5.3 - is the FAST Search API of ESP 5.3 compatable with OS: Red Hat 5.1 & JDK: 1.6 Update 81 ?

Per ESP SP 5 release , below OS are supported which should be compatible with API:
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 5.8, 32-bit (and all 5.x minor versions below)
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 5.8, 64-bit (and all 5.x minor versions below)
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 6.3, 32-bit (and all 6.x minor versions below)
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 6.3, 64-bit (and all 6.x minor versions below)
 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, 64-bit
The latest JDK i have seen working on a customer install is jdk1.6.0_45.
Probably you can try update 81 and see if you run into any issues.

When using the search bar, is it possible to get the search results in a new tab?

In the old Google toolbar, it was possible to view the search results in a new tab. Google toolbar is compatible with Firefox 7, so I have to use the Firefox Search Bar. However, it always gets the search results in the current tab. Can this be modified?

Yes. Open a new tab and type or paste ''about:config'' into the location bar, hit enter, and hit enter again to get past the warning. Then paste ''browser.search.openintab'' into the filter box that shows, then double-click on the ''browser.search.openintab'' line to toggle it (it will switch to bold).
If you'd rather an addon just do the above for you and add a menu option for it, try this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchontab/
Alternatively, you can type a search into the search bar and press ''alt+enter'' instead of just enter to open your search in a new tab.

Is it possible to open Account Search window in a new page

Hi All,
Is it possible to open Account Search window in a new page instead of displaying Account Search on Work center page.
Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks,
Udaya

Have a look at the NavBar component and the generic workcenter component. If you are lucky, they utilize one common method for navigation. I would try to put some custom coding in there and use it to open the new link inside a popup.
Never tried it before as the necessity never occured to me. Thus I can not help you any further. It is just an idea.
Maybe you get some good results and can post them here
cheers Carsten

Replace Self-Signed FAST Search Certificate with Third Party Certificate

We are trying to replace the Self-Signed FAST Search Certificate with Third Party Certificate in our SP 2010 environment. And are facing issues while enabling the SSL communication between the FAST servers and the corporate servers.
Our FAST search servers are in a different farm than that of the Corporate Servers.
The details of the certificate we received is as follows:
Issued to : FastSearchCert
Issued By: Issuer Name
Valid From: 4/21/2015 to 4/20/2017
We were able to successfully renew the certificate on the FAST Search Server by following the below steps:
1. Login to the Administrative and the Non-Administrative nodes
of the FAST server. Go to Windows Service and stop the FAST Search for SharePoint and the FAST Search for SharePoint Monitoring services in both the servers.
Follow the below steps in the Administrative Node followed by the Non-Administrative Node
2.
Install the certificate in the following paths in the certificate store:
“Certificates(Local Computer)\Personal”
“Certificates(Local Computer)\Trusted Root Certification Authorities”
3. Ensure that the user account configured for the “FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint” has access to the private key of the certificate.
4. Go the Administrative node of the FAST farm and follow the below steps:
Go to the certificate store.
Expand the Personal folder and then click the Certificates folder. Double-click the third party signed FAST certificate.
Open the Details tab and then click Thumbprint. Note down this thumbprint.
5. Next, open
Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint with Administrator
Privileges.
6.
Navigate to the directory, “D:\FASTSearch\installer\scripts” and execute the below command to replace the current certificate with the newly created
third party signed FAST certificate.
.\ReplaceDefaultCertificate.ps1 -thumbprint "certificate thumbprint".
7. The FAST certificate was renewed successfully.
Once the certificate has been renewed successfully in both the nodes, follow the below step:
8. Start the FASTSearch for SharePoint and the FAST Search
for SharePoint Monitoring services in the administrator server.
Next, while enabling the SSL communication between the FAST servers and the other corporate servers, we follow the below steps:
1.
Copy the new certificate from any of the FAST servers to all the web-front end and application servers in the corporate farm, in order to enable SSL communication between these servers and the FAST farm.
2. Also, copy the script
‘SecureFASTSearchConnector.ps1’ from the location “%FASTSearchFolder%\installer\scripts” in the FAST servers
to the web-front end and application servers of the corporate farm.
3. Follow the below steps on each of the servers in the corporate farm:
Open ‘SharePoint 2010 Management Shell’ with administrator privileges and navigate to the directory in which
SecureFASTSearchConnector.ps1’ script is located.
And then, execute the below command:
.\SecureFASTSearchConnector.ps1 -certThumbprint "certificate thumbprint" –ssaName “FASTCibtebtSSA” –username “DOMAIN\SP_Farm”
Where,
-certThumbprint
- Thumbprint of the certificate
-ssaName – FAST Content SSA
-username – The account configured to run the SharePoint
Search Service
On execution of the above command, we receive an error message stating that the "Connection to the Content Distributor servername.corp.abc.org: 14391 could not be validated...instance of FAST search server backend is running"
Please help us resolve this issue. We have not been able to find the cause of the above error for a long time.
Any help is much appreciated.

Your tip on exporting from eDir to locate a missing private key was very helpful. Here are my steps to renew an expired third party certificate when the private key, generated 30 months ago in my case, could not be located.
In iManager, browse the tree and locate the likely certificate object. The Attributes for the object show Subject Name = webmail.acme.com. Selected the certificate and exported to webmailcert.pfx.
Then, the openssl commands in TID 7004039, "How to convert a SSL PFX to a PEM file", were run against the .pfx file to create cert.pem, key.pem and server.key files.
TID 7015500, "How to determine if private key belongs to public key (certificate)", was followed to determine if the public key (downloaded from third party) and private key (just retrieved from iManager) match - they did - that is, the private key converted from webmailcert.pfx matches the downloaded certificate.
TID 7013103, "How to create a .pem File for SSL certificate Installations", was followed to manually create a server.pem file using openssl.
TID 7010584, "How to setup SSL Certificate for Apache", part labeled "Additional Information" was followed to modify /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.conf file. Server.pem file created above copied to /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ and /etc/ssl/servercerts/ directories as specified in vhost-ssl.conf.
Restarted apache2.
www.digicert.com has an SSL Certificate Checker that can be used to verify the installation is successful.
