ITunes quick search/find as you type

hi...
since a few months i'm missing the following feature:
typing one or more characters in the artist or song column to jump directly to the artist or song starting with the character being typed
in some applications like "finder" this feature is called "find as you type" oder "quick search"
i found nothing in the internet or someone else having the same problem like me.
a reinstallation brought no effect...
i would be glad getting it solved.
thank you very much
matze

Can I make a drop down allow multiple keystrokes as it narrows its selection?
This is not "easy" in the context of a Web application. It is not specific to Apex, it needs heavy client-side DHTML scripting and also the "Ajax" framework to dynamically query the server for data.
The discussion at Yahoo AutoComplete widget talks about this.
Hope this helps.

  • Disabling "find-as-you-type"

    I love Firefox, and I would even be OK with "find-as-you-type" ordinarily, but here's what happens: it finds the succession of letters as I type, but it cuts off the search as soon as it finds it - when I haven't finished what I wanted to type.
    For instance, this site: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/06/14/kyrgyz.violence/index.html?hpt=Sbin. Say I wanted to see if the word "strategically" were on the site. You hit control-F, then start typing s-t -- and it interrupted me and found the "st" in Kyrgyzstan. But you couldn't keep typing r-a-t-e-g- .... because it interrupted the search. Sure you could hit return and find all the other instances of s-t, but that's not all that helpful! Apparently you have to type your word ridiculously fast. Or, if you were interrupted, drag your mouse back over and continue typing fast in the Find bar again.
    Anyway, how can I disable this? All I want is to be able to type the full succession of letters that I'm interested in before it finds it. So I don't need to type "strategically" to find the word, but I want at least to be able to type "strate-" without having to type at a 150-words-a-minute pace. Thanks!

    You are certainly not describing the normal behaviour of the find bar, which is to stay focused the entire time you're typing in it, with the matches being updated and scrolled to on-the-fly as you type.
    See if the behaviour still happens in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#How_to_start_Firefox_in_Safe_Mode Firefox's own safe mode], if not you'll need to find the culprit extension causing the problem by disabling half of them from Tools -> Add-ons, "Extensions" then restarting Firefox to see if the problem still happens, and continue halving/restarting/testing until you've found it.

  • I can't use my apostrophe in gmail b/c it's always recognized as a "find as you type" shortcut. How do I turn that off?

    Is there a way to make the "find as you type" shortcut come up whenever I use my apostrophe?

  • Does firefox 4 have the 'feeling lucky' google search feature when you type phrases into the URL bar? ATM it goes to google where i then have to click on website.

    if i type simply phrases in to the URL bar (i,e bbc) it use to take me directly to www.bbc.co.uk. but now in firefox 4, it seems to go to google.co.uk instead displaying all the searched items. I then have to click on the link i want.
    Is there any way of enabling this?

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

    If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

  • Find as you type with htmldb

    In Access you can have a drop down box on a form position in the file on a drop down list as you type. HTML DB does this as well but only with the first character. When you type a second charater it repositions to start at the second charater.

  • How to remove bing toolbar and prevent it from searching for anything you type in the goto URL box

    This isn't really a question, but I hope it will help some people. I had the bing toolbar appear at the top of firefox, and I tried every suggestion I found to delete it, in addition to ways I already knew. Nothing worked...until I searched through tools/options and found my home page had been changed. I simply changed it back to what it was before bing took over. Now everything is back to normal.

    Yes I did. I reset Firefox and it cleared up the problem. It seems that I have to do a lot of resetting over the last 6 mos or so. In all the years that I have been using Firefox I have never had to reset Firefox. Lately I have to do it at least once a week or so.

  • Find as you type?

    I have a form with several drop-down lists. I'd like users to have the option of typing into the box and jump to the entry they are looking for, as opposed to scrolling through the list.
    I've found nothing within livecycle to enable this feature.
    Please help!

  • TextInput - search as you type

    hello all,
    Does anyone know of a TextInput component that drops down a scrollable vertical menu of search results as you type? 
    Similar to Google's homepage where as you type a dropdown appears below the text field with matching results.
    cheers

    Forgot about Jeffry's  - http://www.flextras.com/?event=ProductHome&productID=10
    Evaluating now but if anyone knows of others please let me know.

  • Solved: Quick search does not work with FF4

    [https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B1WuaaPz4AKtMDk1MDA2ODktN2NlYy00NTg2LWJmOGUtNDI3ODdiYzQzODli&hl=en failed quick search example]
    As you can see from the image above, I have a quick search defined for 'am' which is set as a 'keyword' for an Amazon.com search. When I type the keyword followed by a search term it it displays an error page with a path to some resource in a .jar file.
    Note the save URL does not include a %s. It used the previously document behavior of having any text that followed the keyword appended to the keyword URL.
    When I add the %s to the end of the saved quick search URL, the quick search works correctly. This change confused me for a while until I dug into it and now I need to check and update all of my quick searches. :-(

    Hi qzy,
    When you enable anonymous access in SharePoint, did you want the anonymous user have the permission
    to access the site content such as library or just need them to be capable to search? You may need to check your configurations according to the document below based on your requirement.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263363.aspx
    When you enable search for anonymous user for the site collection, is it a team site or publishing
    site? By default team sites are designed for intranet site so search on Team Site with default value will be prompted for
    credentials because “OSSSearchResults.aspx” page is configued to publish results based on “LayoutsPageBaseClass(Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)” class. The LayoutsPageBase Class Represents an application page (sometimes
    called a "_layouts" page). If you want to do that in team site, you need to remove the “LayoutsPageBase Class(Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)” from “OSSSearchResults.aspx” page, which is not a recommended way.
    Publising Sites are desinged for internet site so “Search/Results.aspx”
    is configured in a way where it can deliver search results for
    anonymous users. If in your scenario it’s for publishing site, you need to ensure that the content which should appear in the search result is visible for anonymous user. (Follow the “Enable anonymous access for individual lists”
    part in the link above)
    You can also create a search center to see if the user can get search result there. Regarding the
    second issue, you need to check the crawl logs and ULS logs to find the clue.

  • How can I disable "search as you type" in Finder windows?

    I have used OS X since it first came out and have upgraded to each version since then.  I am now on Lion.  I have endured "search as you type" for as long as it has been a "feature" and I must say that I am fed up with it, mainly because it slows me down.  It makes the computer "get in my way," which is the very anathema Steve Jobs sought to destroy with Apple.  My Mac should be a friendly tool that doesn't get in my way.  Most of the time it is, but not when it comes to Finder searches.
    Toward that end I wish to disable "search as you type" (or whatever the offical name for it is).  More specifically, I want to disable it in the search bar in the upper right corner of Finder windows. 
    I don't care about the Spotlight menu in the menubar, as I never use that and don't want to train myself to use it.  And I refuse to use an alternative search utility to Spotlight.  I want to use the search field in the upper right corner of Finder windows, AND NOTHING ELSE.  But at the same time, I want to kill "search as you type."  I want to be able to type as fast or slow as I like and have my computer not search for anything at all until I hit RETURN.  I don't want to argue about it.  That is the way I want it.  And again, I don't want to use a 3rd part utility, no matter how glorious some people may say they are because I stubbornly want to use the search bar atop every Finder window EXCLUSIVELY.
    Therefore, is there some Terminal hack to accomplish this feat?  If so, what is it?
    Many thanks for your time.  I look forward to hearing your solutions.

    Having posted the initial question more than 1 week ago now, I must say that I am quite shocked and dismayed that not a single experienced individual among us in these forums has the knowledge to even approach my question!  Not even a reply to say "it cannot be done"!  Forgive me for being brash.  But is everyone on vacation? Or does no one know?  Or is everyone truly apathetic toward the existing functionality?
    If our computers were so lightning  fast that "search as you type" was instantaneous (i.e., displayed results a 50ms or so, and faster than I could notice such that my fingers were not slowed down at all as I type), I wouldn't have taken time to write about this.  But I put forth the initial question because of the inherent slowness of "search as you type" and therefore I wish to know how one would go about disabling it on an OS level (i.e., without having to resort to a third party app).
    I look forward to your insightful replies!
    Thank you.

  • How do I exclude directories from Finder search results? I'm trying to find the biggest FILES on my computer and it keeps showing me "Macintosh HD" as the biggest, how can I search for files of type "NOT folder/directory"?

    Basically I've lost 10GB of free space over the last few weeks so my plan was to search for files modified in the last 2 weeks in order to figure out which ones are big and where that space went.
    So I open finder, go to "File > Find", and enter a search:
    Modified > In the last 2 weeks
    All fine so far.
    Problem is, it's showing whole directories as results. Which essentially means that when I order the list by size, Macintosh HD is at the top, followed by "Users", then "Applications", then one of my bigger movie files, then "Library", etc.
    How can I do a search which will ignore folders? I want individual files. Knowing that Macintosh HD is the biggest item on my computer and was modified in the last 2 weeks is utterly useless to me.
    Older versions of Finder in OS 9 had a feature where you could search for "files, whose type "IS NOT" folder", but OS X doesn't seem to have such a feature.
    Can anyone help?

    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

  • Does ECC 6.0 Provide a Search-as-you-type Enhancement for Sold-To Party Field?

    In our quest to continually simplify the creation of sales orders, I would like to know if SAP has provided any way to simplify the search and entry of the customer sold-to or ship-to party.  What I am looking for is a way to enter the customer's name (or other customer search criteria such as city) in a single field and have it search-as-you-type.  This is also known as instant search, auto-complete and auto-suggestion.
    We would like to eliminate the clicks it takes to use the standard F4 search help.
    One of our internal developers has created a web-based (.NET) application that brings in SAP data for writing sales orders for a specific segment of our business.  This tool allows you to find the ship-to party by typing in the customer's state, city, zip, address or name in the Ship-To field.  The instant search feature narrow's the list down as you type.  What he has done is written SQL to concatenate the customer name, customer number and address information, and then provided a search-as-you-type feature on top of this.
    Fictious Example of concatenated data (State, City, Customer Name, Address, Zip, SAP Customer Number):
    WA Seattle, Home Depot, 11616 Aurora Ave N, 98133, 18394978
    Typing any of the above information in the field will search for matches and bring back results as you type.
    I would like to know if ECC 6.0 has any similar feature that can be used in VA01 to accomplish the same thing.
    Thank you.

    I don't have access to the code our developer used but again, I am referring to a .NET browser-based application.  We extract a subset of SAP data using Attunity (say, every hour) and the SAP data is stored in a separate SQL Server database.  This database is used by a few browser-based applications we have developed.  For example, we have an application that allows external customers or internal employees the ability to look-up the status of an order.  The first thing you enter is the customer.  In some cases, this may be the Ship-To.  In other cases, the Sold-To.  The user can simply enter some part of the customer and records are searched for a match, as you type.  In our case, the lookup is occurring in SQL Server, not directly in SAP.  The developer took a simple approach of using some SQL query magic (it may be in a SQL Server Stored Procedure), to concatenate the relevant customer information that most people use to lookup a customer - Customer Name, Address, Customer Number.  So as you type, this entire concatenated string is searched and the list of potential "hits" is narrowed as you type.
    The paradigm is similar to Google's Search as you type (SayT), which you can read about here:
    http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/11/3152186/google-search-as-you-type-instant-results-merchants
    http://code.google.com/p/search-as-you-type/
    Or auto-complete: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/106230
    This is nothing new in the web commerce world.
    I was told by an SAP rep that there might be an enhancement in SAP ECC (SAPGUI Desktop) that could do something similar.  However, I never heard back from him and was wondering if anyone else had heard of something.
    This is another example of how it seems SAP has fallen behind in their UI and search capabilities; and they need to catch-up.  For those of us that have used SAP for many years, F4 seems straight forward and we sometimes don't understand why so many users don't also find it simple.  The answer is, other vendors have made it more simple and with the consumerization of apps, SAP needs to get there.

  • I imported a CD audio book into iTunes 11, searching says its there, but I cannot find it. It does appear in my iTunes music folder.

    Using Audiobook builder I imported an audiobook CD into iTunes 11. I can see it in my iTunes music folder on the hard drive, searching in iTunes 11 says its there, but in either the albums or list, it does not appear. I have successfully imported many CDs using Audiobook Builder before, but with this particulary book I have this problem.
    Any ideas anyone ?

    The missing file thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    At guess you've used a different profile name. Files inside the media folder have survied the transfer, but those outside are expected to be on the same absolute file paths, but no longer are.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
