Is there a difference between "Spotlight" & the "Search" field?

Hi,
In Lion, is there a difference between searching for a file using SPOTLIGHT . . . or the SEARCH field in the upper left of a folder (if you click your Hard drive.)?
For example, I have a MacBook Pro with a 2nd hard drive inside. If I don't "Spotlight" the 2nd hard drive - will the SEARCH field then still work? Or if I DO SPOTLIGHT it - is it using the same search mechanism using "Find" and "Spotlight"?
I'm curious how this works? Thanks very much,
Larry

Using COMMAND-F or Finder's search field provides a window like this:
If you click on the Kind dropdown menu you will see:
You can select different search criteria for locating files. If you then select Other you will see:
You can then check the different search attributes you wish to add to the previously shown dropdown menu thus providing many different search criteria.

Innaugural demo: Is there any difference between 'GO' and 'Search'?

I'm still poking around in this demo, and it looks to me like
a) The Go and Search buttons do EXACTLY the same thing
b) There are some old objects in there that are no longer used (OLD_SEARCH). I see two sets of code to generate results for pg. 2, but one is never called. I figured it would be called by one button or the other. Perhaps it was at one time?
c) Where is the "search" button gif, if that's what it is? I am assuming "go.gif" is the blue "go" image. How is the yellow "search" button created?
Thanks!

Michael:
a) You are correct, they do exactly the same thing. The Search button has been removed in the new application shipped with the next release.
b) P0_OLD_SEARCH does not seem to be used any longer. It is referenced in a condition for firing a before header reset pagination process on page 2, but I can't find where this item is ever populated.
Both query regions on page 2 are in fact used. If you choose a time interval, do not enter anything in the Search field, and click "Go" or "Search" you will see the other query region. Note that it does not have a "Score" column.
c) There is no "Search" button gif. It is a template based button, while the "Go" button is an image button. Buttons can be either an Image (like the "Go" button), template based (like the "Search" button), or normal HTML buttons. To see the template for the "Search" button, Under Shared components on the page definition of page 0, click the link to the "Einstein Normal" in the Templates section next to button.

Are there any difference between fx. the Nvidia FX3800 and GTX 260?

Does anybody understand why I fell frustrated and confused about all this videocard discussions?
Some tells me that the FX3800 is a better card - more pro - stabillity etc. than low-price cards - like GTX 260/285/295 - and some tells me that GTX 260 = FX3800. I read on other webpages about how people are having problems having their GTX 260 recognized as a FX 3800 (not in PPro but by Nvidia software). Other places tells about how to softmod GTX 260 to a FX 3800. Some tells me that there is a big difference between these cards - others they are almost alike - same GPU etc. I read that the difference between GTX 260 and FX 3800 is only the looks of it from outside - inside they are alike - and that apart from that only drivers are different.
I have ordered the FX 3800 - believing it will perform better and more stable and give me really good playback rendering inside PPro CS5 compared to my GTX 260. If I get the same performance and stability by just changing two lines in a textfile with my old GTX 260 I feel cheated...I hope this is not happening.
Someone from Adobe or Nvidida - please tell us - what there is a differnece between fx. the GTX 260 and the FX 3800 besides from the outside look and some drivers? If there is no difference between them - I can not see any other reason for only supporting the FX cards than $$$...If there are a difference in Quadra/FX favour - and I sincerly hope so - I understand why you choose Quadro cards - but if they are just alike inside - I just feel we have all been mislead. I could have saved my money...time will show - I get the FX 3800 in a few days...can´t return it (danish rules when you buy it as a company) - so I´m 1000$ short this month...:(
I would feel much more comfortable in having ordered the FX 3800 if someone from Adobe could tell me excactly how much better FX 3800 is from the GTX 260 - apart from being supported and the GTX is not. And if there is more in it than just changing a simple textfile? Are there any more things going on inside PPro - deep inside - that affects performance with FX cards besides from two lines in a textfile? Who can help answering that question - and I mean really answering it in serious way - not just saying - off course the FX is better - because its more expenssive.
Haven´t we all experienced this in other situations? Like buying a car? Fx. Inside SKODA FABIA is a VW engine like the ones used in much more expensive VW cars. Only difference is the name and the outside look - and some comfort. The engine is the same - and in a way you could say that from an engine-point-of-view - the cars are alike. But you pay for comfort.
Is the same thing going on here? I pay more for FX 3800 for the looks of it from the outside and some software-drivers that makes it more stable - but inside it is just like GTX 260? So from a graphic-performance-GPU-point-of-view I actually have two cards that are alike and I reaaly am paying for software and not hardware?

You are right -. and I keep spanking myself in the head with a wet towel.
I will lie in my bed - thinking of the nice new bicycle I could have bought instead of the FX 3800....;-)
No seriously - I know what I have done - and maybe I have done right - I don´t know? Time will show and I will sell or buy.
What I am frustrated about is the fact that I actually just decided to buy FX 3800 because Adobe and Nvidida toold me too - to get support for MPE and now it seems that my old GTX 260 is much like the FX 3800 if not the same inside? And I am frustrated about that it is possible to change a line in a simple textfile and suddenly get support for the GTX 260 to play MPE. This fact only put more lit on the conspiracy-fire about Adobe and Nvidia having made a simple software-trick to make some cards work others not = making a lot of money on fools like me...
You must admitt it is a rather tempting conclusion - if one is in the conspiracy-mood. Well - I try to think good about people. And Adobe convinced me at last that I needed the FX 3800 card. So I did order it eventually - because I need the MPE NOW - Can´t wait - having so bad performance and issues with PPro 4 - been so frustrated about edditting for almost ½ a year now - constantly having issues etc. And I am going to start new big project in 7 days. Have just spend 2000$ on upgrade to Master Collection and have making thoughts about wich card to buy long time ago - the GTX 285 or FX 3800 - to get the MPE support. And same day I order I suddenly see that the softmod makes my old GTX 260 to a FX 3800. And other posts claim that the cards are the same inside. No wonder I get frustrated - others must be the same.
So what I am trying to say is that: I feel like Adobe and Nvidida is not being honest with us. If it turns out that the only thing Adobe has done is making a simple textfile to make cards supported or not by enteringior changing the names of the cards inside the textfile - and nothing else....And if fx. a softmoded GTX 260 turns out to perform excactly the same and be as stable as a FX 3800 to 5-6 x the price - I will feel cheated and feel like a stupid fool.
I certainly do not hope this is what is going on. But it seems no one can help me but myself - testing and trying these cards - and I will try to post my results in this forum - so others might have easier tomake a choice...
I´l be back....
Cheers

Is there a difference between URL of search results in chrome vs. IE?

Preview Images of images that comes from file share are not displayed in Chrome (while they do display in IE).
In order to check i tried to set hard coded in the search results display template a sample link as
file://dev-sp-2013/test/box_galley_up.GIF
Still it is displayed only in IE and not in Chrome (but when open Chrome and copy that URL - it opens the picture).
Any solutions?should i add any manipulation to the Image URL variable (in the display template) in order to display in in Chrome?

Is there a difference between LR4 full version and the upgrade.

I purchased the upgrade for LR4. I now have LR3. I want to download and install now and them put in the serial number to license it when it arrives. Is there a difference between installing the full version and the upgrade version. I don't want to screw up my catalog or anything else for that matter.

There is no difference and you're actually better off downloading and installing rather than installing a shipped version. The download will likely be newer.

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Is there a difference between the Ethernet WAN port and the other 3 Ethernet Ports on a Time Capsule?

As posted previously, my time capsule will not set up properly because I get an IP address conflict pop up window. Is there a difference between the "Ethernet WAN Port" and the other three ports on the back of the Time Capsule? I may have the DSL modem hooked into the "Ethernet WAN Port". Thanks.

it depends what you want to achieve and what configuration you have on your DSL modem/router.

Is there any difference between the 2 different USB cords when syncing???

I know this may be a paranoid question to ask but I just wanted to make sure.
Is there any difference between the newer USB cords with the shorter plug (the end that goes into the iPhone) and the older ones with the bigger, square-shaped plugs that you can pinch on the sides to retract?
Is there a difference in transfer speed, syncing speed, or reliability, or build quality?
Just asking cuz the newer USB cord that came with my iPhone 3GS is getting frayed and so I'm using the older one instead.
Thanks to whoever helps.

No difference except, as you noted, you have to squeeze the older one to remove it. It's important that you do that so you don't damage it or the iPod.

Is there any difference between the digital connection cables?

Is there any difference between digital connection cables that connect to the back of a computer? I've seen some with two groups of nine pins and a blade. I've seen some with a solid group of 27 pins. I've seen the blade pin and the four pin. I currently run one that has two groups of nine pins with a blade pin. I use it for DVI and it does ok. I wanted to look into the HDMI cable and see how or if things would be different. I bought a cable that has the 27 pin connector with a blade. It physically connects but there is no signal. I checked the monitor and I set it first to HDMI and then tried AUTO. It made no difference. I powered it all down and restarted it all and there was no difference. Do I need to keep looking for a cable that has the same design connection to the PC but has the HDMI connection on the other end. I may have this info wrong. I just know I have two large connections at the time but the last cable I tried had one large connector and one that looked like an advanced USB design. And then is there really any gain between the two as far as video quality or response?

There are several type of connectors/cables with different effect.
VGA
DVI
HDMI
To understand more, I would say please look it up.
Wish you luck,

Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audio output of the docking connector, or is it in fact the same signal ?

Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audiooutput of the docking connector of the iphone 4, or is it in fact the same signal ?

One basic difference is that the LTE frequencies each is able to operate on are different. After that, it is pretty much the same phone. Others might be able to add to this.

If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?

If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?
E.g. I buy it in BestBuy, I still can take the iPad Air to the genius bar if there are problems for the iPad?
Thanks!

Yes, as long as you buy a new device from an Apple Authorized reseller (which BestBuy is) then you have the normal Apple one year warranty with it. Apple will honor that warranty in any of their stores, and anyone with any Apple device is welcome in any Apple retail store with questions or seeking help.

Hi, I just watched the video for the Microcell and you have to use your broadband connection to get it to work and the problem is my broadband connection is down the times I'm using my 3G. That's why I use it, because my broadband connection is not working so much of the time.
Any other suggestions? :-)

Is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version?

In Adobe Photo Shop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version? I don't remember them having two versions in the past.

Is there a difference? Sure. Will it be noticable? Maybe.
The 9i client will use one of the 9i ODBC drivers. The 8i client will use one of the 8i ODBC drivers. The 9i drivers will generally have more bug fixes & more features than the 8i drivers. It is possible, though rare, that the 9i drivers will fix a bug whose behavior your application was dependent on and/or introduce bugs that were not in the earlier version. Of course, you have to consider the different features of the underlying clients as well-- i.e. a 9.2 Oracle client cannot communicate with a 7.3.4 database, an 8i client doesn't know how to handle data types introduced in 9i (i.e. TIMESTAMP), etc.
