Is the forum search broken?

Even tried searching on "Solaris" with no results.

Yes, I think you are right. It looks like the box that says "Forum Search" sends you into a search function for other Sun documents, but doesn't actually search the forums.
(BTW, I can see that they might exclude Solaris from the search since it would appear in a gazillion Sun documents -- but I tried searching for a couple of specific terms that I could see in messages, which seemed unlikely to be stop words, and got no results or only results from outside the forum)

  • Forum search broken!

    Please see this thread in the JDeveloper forum:
    Forum search broken?
    For some user it works, for others not. Sure doesn't work for me.
    Searching in the JDeveloper forum for "RowSetIterator" or "ViewObject" simply must return tons of results. It doesn't for me.
    And when I go to my profile and search for all my messages I also get nothing.

  • Logical AND not working in the forum search box

    Logical AND of search terms does not seem to be working in the MSDN forum search box. Example: I go to the Project Customization and Program forum and type the word
    subproject
    in the search box. I get a lot of hits. So now I try to reduce the number of hits by typing
    subproject AND read
    Surprisingly, I now get MORE hits than before.   The same thing happens if I enter
    subproject & read
    Do the MSDN forums not support the standard logical AND combinations of search terms?  If they do support these combinations, what is the syntax?

  • Improvements to the forum search

    I often need to search for hints on the jdeveloper forum.
    I would like to suggest some improvement to the forum search
    1) when i search with more than one word i would like to see only the results in which all the words appear, or at least to see first the results with all words and then the others
    2) in the search results every thread should appear only one time, in my opinion
    Thanks, Mauro

    Very embarrassing, the search tool is right here in front of my eyes.

  • How can we turn off auto-corre​ction in the forum search?

    This recent auto-correction in the forum search is driving me nuts. It is way too overzealous. There is no way to win the fight!
    Example:
    Try to search for "voight" (the famous lineshape).
    It seaches for "right" instead
    There is a small link to actually search for "voight" so we press that.
    So far so good.
    Now I want to limit searching for only my posts, so I enter "altenbach" on the left.
    Now the search term switches back to "right" .... grrrrr!!!!! (see video)
    Again, there is a small link to actually search for "voight" so we press that. (see video)
    Now we are back to #5, because the "by altenbach" has disappeared again. (see video)
    Repeat steps 5..8 forever. No escape to get what we actually want.
    In the video you see how the "by altenbach" disappears once we click on "search instead for voight".

  • Links on the forum are broken

    Don't know if anyone else has noticed, but links on the forum seem to be broken.
    e.g. Google
    Is this some user specific setting that I've accidentally activated, or has the forum lost some functionality?

    It just seems like Richard is not using the right way to embed a URL in the forum which is something like this:
    Oracle UI Shell Functional Pattern
    basically [ then url= and here the url then ] the some text and then a closing tag which is [ followed by / and url and ]

  • Make the Forum Search Tool useful

    The current Forum Search Tool is nearly useless.  Please add the following features to make it a functional tool:
    1. Logical operators - i.e. allow the following searches: cow AND chicken, cow OR chicken, cow NOT chicken (or -chicken)
    2. Quoted text to search for exact phrases - i.e. allow the following search: "my chicken says moo"
    3. Results with date ranges - i.e. allow the following search: weird chicken, Results before 04/01/2012 or after 04/01/10 or between 04/01/2010 and 04/01/2012
    4. Mix it up!  "My chicken says moo" AND "purple chicken feed" -cow, results after 12/23/2012
    5. Search in one forum only - i.e. allow the following search: "chicken says moo" ONLY in the "Farm Animal Behavior" forum 
    6. Search ONLY in posts (answers and/or questions) made by a particular user - i.e. allow the following search - "purple chicken feed" posted by user "Farmer Brown" ONLY
    7. Do NOT include variations of words that you "think" might be "helpful".  Right now a search for the word "running" yields results that contain the following words: running, run, runs.  Weeding through all the useless
    "helpful" results is a huge waste of time and makes it difficult in the extreme to actually find "relevant" results.  HINT: There might be an actual REASON why we want to search for "running" and
    NOT "run" or "runs".
    8. Please make the default operator AND instead of OR when more than one search word is used.  Adding more terms to a search tool should produce FEWER, MORE REFINED RESULTS instead of MORE, IRRELEVANT RESULTS.  Very few people ever want
    to search on a single word only.  This is especially true in a technical reference environment!
    9. Sometimes I WANT a word spelled exactly as I typed it.  If I get results that I do not want because I misspelled a word, I can just retype the search.  If you FORCE me to use your spelling, this makes my search completely useless.  Please
    give us MORE options rather than less!
    10. Remove search result highlighting.  We don't need the words we just searched for being blasted at us in highlighted bold.
    NOTE: If there are any other requests for the search tool, post them as replies and I'll add them to this list.
    Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

    Hi,

    forum? who can help. please develop a powerful search for msdn forum. thanks
    Searching in one forum is currently possible, you just need to make sure that you only have a single forum selected in the left rail:
    This walkthrough is a bit out of date now, but it should still be helpful for selecting only a single forum:

    PS - I posted this same information (without the screenshot and FAQ link though) in
    your thread.

  • Is the forum search engine broken?

    Is it just me or is the search engine in this forum broken? I have tried to search for "Java","System","PrintService" etc. I everytime I get 0 results...

    "Broken"? No. "Not very good"? That's a fair description.
    Maybe the problem is your search. Have you tried different combinations?
    Take "Java" out of the search. This IS a Java forum, after all.
    What does "PrintService" bring back on its own?

  • Bug in the forum search area

    Hi,
    I tried searching on the "CFML-General Discussion"forum. when
    you do , you get a error, please check it. :)
    "Variable FTVAR_RESULTTYPE is undefined"

    Thanx

    Long ago I concluded that the search function in these forums
    was generally useless so I have no reason to try.

  • Narrow down the forum search function

    Is it possible to use the built in search function but to limit the search to a certain forum or space?

    It does to some extend. Though I was looking for a way to limit the search by spaces, not to filter the search result. For instance to search for ASM, but to exclude the ASM group or space. I think it was nice to be able to select or choose from a list of space names, and to be able to restrict the search using multiple "spaces".

  • Forum search links are broken

    Is anyone else experiencing this? The forum search works fine but none of the links work. Pretty frustrating when you end up paging back through 60+ pages of postings to find the one you want to see.

    Hi JJRAY,
    True the links are broken at the moment. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.We would see to it this is resolved ASAP.We appreciate your patience on this.

  • Forum Search - no indication if the thread is solved

    Hi,
    It would be quite useful to have some kind of indication if the thread is already solved in the Forum Search page.
    If there is long result list, it's difficult to see, which post is useful.
    Best regards,
    Peter

    Hi,
    until then you could use the filter that is part of every sub-forum start page. It allows you to filter for "Open Questions", "Answered Questions" and "Questions with no reply".

  • Forum search doesn't find message but Google does

    The forum-search query "icc profiles ilford paper", with the forum "Photoshop Elements" selected, does not find the following message:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1520276#1520276
    Re: ICC Profiles
    I just purchased some ILFORD paper and I downloaded and installed the ICC profile into Windows Vista without any problems. My question is when I open my printer properties and select a paper profile my ILFORD ICC profile is not showing. I have a Canon Pro9000 printer.
    However, this Google query does:
    icc profiles ilford paper photoshop elements site:forums.adobe.com
    Sigh, in general I'm finding it faster and more reliable to use Google to search not only Adobe forums, but the knowledge base and the rest of the Adobe site as well.
    Also, the message above is definitely indexed by the forum search engine, since you can retrieve it using the following query:
    subject:"icc profiles" ilford paper
    Of course, at the time I was searching, I didn't know which keywords were in the subject and which were in the body.

    And this suprises who?  Never had much luck with the Adobe search, either in old or new forum.
