Japanese search hangs

In Japanese, the Search hangs.
Instead of finding results, it just says "searching" (in
Japanese) indefinitely.
This problem has occured randomly over the past year and just
recently re-appeared.
Strangely, the current manifestation only occurs when the
WebHelp is installed in the product. If you put it on another
location, seems to work OK.
We're using X5 that it downgraded to X3 for Asian languages.
Anyone experienced this?
Thanks,
Salan

Yes, we just discovered a bug with the RoboHelp search on a
Japanese Katakana character string. It appears that RH goes into an
infinite loop rather than returning the expected 'No Topics Found'
message.
Do you know if there is a hot fix for this?
thanks,

  • HELP!!!! JavaHelp Search "hangs"

    Hey everyone,
    I have a JavaHelp 2.0 project that I've built with
    j2sdk1.4.2_04 and jdk1.5.0_06 using RH X5. For the last major build
    (a few weeks ago) in which the JavaHelp was build using 1.4.2_04,
    the search worked fine. Now, the search "hangs" after you type in a
    query. Same thing happens when I switch my registry to point to
    jdk1.5.0_06 (which is what the author is going to change over to
    soon.
    Any ideas how to fix this or what could be the problem? This
    is my third Java related / RoboHelp problem I've encountered in the
    past 3 days with RoboHelp (the other involved a problem with a Java
    plug-in's inability to display the TOC correctly in a WebHelp
    output in a different project)
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Search Hangs with V30 of Nokia 5800

    Hi,
    Just upgraded to V30. Whenever I am entering data for search and clicking on Google, my phone hangs. Earlier when I was using version 20, I had no such issues.
    Do you have any remedy?

    Why can u just leave a webpage open with google on it?
    Its just the same really, i think the homescreen search thing is a bit of waste of time, u sort of get trapped in the search, i thinks its much easier leaving a google webpage open. 

  • Flash Help Index search hangs on "a"

    If you use the keyword search on the Index tab of a FlashHelp
    site (RoboHelp6), it works fine until you try to return to the "a"
    part of the list. Typing "a" hangs up the search and you have to
    refresh the page for anything to work again.
    Here's the pattern:
    1. User searches for a letter that is not "a" on the Index
    tab
    2. User then type "a" in the Index tab's entry field and
    presses Enter. The whole page hangs up and won't do anything until
    you refresh the page.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any fixes?

    Okay...after four hours or so of uninstalling/reinstalling, I
    finally figured it out. Vista wanted me to run it as an
    administrator. For whatever reason, that must've been what was
    causing the weird lock-up. It works fine if I do that. Funny thing
    was I wasn't running it as administrator last week. Must be a
    stupid Microsoft update.
    Oh, well....

  • RoboHelp7 - Japanese Searching Doesn't Work

    Now that RoboHelp 7 is supposed to support Japanese, is there
    any trick to get the search to work properly? The project settings
    are set to Japanese and the computer's regional settings are also
    set to Japanese.
    The output is WebHelp. If I search for English text within
    the help document, it succeeds in finding it. If I try Japanese, it
    doesn't.
    I've tried looking on the Adobe site, which does say
    searching should work in the features of RoboHelp7, but searching
    the knowledge base fails to work.
    Suggestions are appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem. I first thought it's just Firefox, but I have the same problem when I typed in windows search box for programs and files. IE and windows messenger are fine. I'm afraid this would be IME's issue or even some kinds weird virus...

  • Address Book searches hang/painfully slow redux

    Whenever I searched for an address in Address Book, I got the spinning beach ball for over a minute. I read the discussion at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=914274
    which was very helpful. I repaired my disk and cleaned my chaches and that solved the problem, without having to get into deleting the Spotlight index. I used the free program Applejack (http://applejack.sourceforge.net/) to do this, but Tiger Cache Cleaner, Cocktail, and other products will also do it.

    Bill:
    Try dragging your ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ABPerson.skIndexInverted file to the trash and performing a new search in Address Book.

  • Address Book searches hang/painfully slow

    I've been having a problem with Address Book for several months now. I assume it was associated with a particular OS update, but I can't say with certainty.
    My address book is not all that large (538 cards) but most of the time now, it's basically impossible to search for anything in it. When I type the first character in the search box, I get the spinning cursor and the application will be essentially locked up (as it searches) for SEVERAL MINUTES before it finally narrows the list down to those entries containing the character that I typed (and then, if I am feeling masochistic, I could type the next character and wait some more.)
    This basically renders Address Book unusable, since if you can't pull someone's information up quickly on-the-fly, I might as well be using a notepad and a pen.
    I suspect this problem is related to Spotlight, since I've had the same problem, sometimes, when doing Spotlight searches.
    What's going on and how do I fix it?

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command, and press <Return> (you can copy the command here and paste it in Terminal):
    sudo mdutil -E -i on /
    The -E option tells Spotlight to delete any already existing index data (so that it’s rebuilt from scratch all over again). The -i on option ensures that indexing is enabled. Finally, the ‘/’ at the end means “apply this command to the startup disk”.
    After entering the previous command in Terminal, you’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Type it blindly (you won’t see any feedback of the keystrokes while you type it) and press <Return>.
    For best results, quit Mail and don’t play too much with your disk while Spotlight reindexes it, i.e. avoid files being created/modified/deleted, mail being downloaded, etc.
    That should fix the Spotlight issue, but may not fix the Address Book issue completely. Post back with your observations when done.
    Have you configured Address Book to search for addresses in LDAP servers (Address Book > Preferences > LDAP)?
    You may also open /Applications/Utilities/Directory Access, turn OFF LDAP in the Services pane, click Apply, and see whether that makes a difference.

  • Searching Japanese using keywords

    When searching using keywords in the awesome bar, it converts any Japanese characters to their percent-encoded forms (sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology here). This is no problem for most searches, for example http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E3%81%A0%E3%81%AE　and http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=だの both give the same result and load the same page without issue.
    However, some searches (I've only noticed this with amazon.com and amazon.co.jp, but presumably it could happen on other sites) do not play nice with this conversion. For example, entering "amazon だ" ("amazon" being my amazon search key) gives me the URL http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%3F, which instead searches for "?" for some reason. If I manually substitute だ instead of the %3F (giving http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%E3%81%A0), it conducts the search as expected. I don't really know what's going on here (i.e., why Amazon is showing it as %3F when it should be %E3%81%A0) but hopefully someone more familiar with this can shed some light on the situation.
    EDIT: I should note that non-Japanese searches work just fine. In addition, no sites (that I've tried) have had problems with Japanese searches other than Amazon.

    You can read about that in the mozillaZine knowledge base article that I posted above:
    Difference between (small s) %s and (Capital S) %S
    1. (small s): %s will have additional substitution replacements: # by %23, % by %25, / by %2F, and @ by %40.
    2. (Capital S): %S will not have substitutions and allow use of C++ in a Google search, allow use of @ in an email substitution, allow use of a fragment-id in a url substitution index.html#example2, and use of a directory as in code/example2.txt.

  • Firefox hangs whenever i search anything

    Firefox hangs whenever i search anything until i do it is fine,
    i also have to manully close it - the process dosen't end,
    it works perfectly in safe mode. is this an addon or something, i havent added anything to it it is fresh out of instillation.

    Short answer YES, if firefox works in safe mode and not otherwise something such as an add-on is causing problems.
    The first thing I notice is that you are using 4.oBeta8 this is an experimental version, you would be better using the current firefox 3 (3.6.13) unless you are confident about firefox use.
    Although you may not have manually added anything yourself it includes according to your System Details a few plugins.
    Are you also using firefox 3, by default firefox 3 and 4 will be in slightly different locations, it would be good practice I think to ensure you use separate profiles for each if you continue to use both.
    The easiest course of action may just be to install version 3, or uninstall version 4 beta. '''First ''' as a precautionary measure make a manual backup [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20and%20restoring%20bookmarks#w_manual-backup (see)] of your bookmarks from your current firefox (both versions if you have two versions) firefox should not loose bookmarks, history and forms etc details, whilst up or downgrading but better to be safe.
    Regarding the problem with searches hanging have a look at
    *[[Firefox hangs]]
    *[[basic troubleshooting]]
    * and if you keep both versions of firefox [[Managing profiles |set up]] a separate profile for each

  • Very Slow or no response to Google Search within Safari

    I am experiencing very long delays for searches (hangs if I let it) made within the Safari menu bar. Sometimes I have to reload the page multiple times before I get a response. This happens all the time now. If I go directly to Goggle and type in a search the response is fast.
    Any Ideas
    PS I have Inquisitor installed but I have had this installed since its inception and this problem only began recently.

    Apple changed the way DNS lookups are made in 10.5, and many, many servers do not support that particular method, so they fail to load pages. With 10.5.3, Apple changed back to the way it was done with 10.4.x, so if you update to 10.5.3, it may solve your problem(s). Make a backup first, just in case.
    You might also try switching your DNS servers in your Network Settings to those from OpenDNS first to see if that solves your problem.

  • System disk problem - what happened?

    I recently had problems with my MacBook (OS X 10.4.10) and I was able to deduce that problem was somehow related to hard disk(s) and/or file systems. The problem symptoms were:
    - Computer failed to recognize external FW drives
    - Spotlight searches hanged
    - Disk Utility hanged
    - Software update hanged
    - in Terminal diskutil showed error message "AppleRAID: failed trying to get controller object, rc = 0xe00002c5." for all operations
    Problems persisted also after machine restart and also in single-user mode. What I considered strange was that googling did not find anything relevant for the diskutil message.
    Eventually I was able to fix the issue by booting from FW disk and running volume repair (which didn't report anything, though) for system disk. However, I'm curious to find out what really happened and why?

    Ahh, that's interesting. However, I'm not using any external USB hubs. And at the time I started to experience the problem there was no devices connected to either of the USB ports.
    I do have to external FW drives (WD MyBooks which are configured as RAID-1 array) and they were plugged in (although I unplugged them during reboot but the problem still remained).
    Now that I google for just the error code I do find references to SCSI and I reckon SCSI and Firewire are sort of related (FW being new 'serial SCSI')?
    Apple dev docs also give a plaintext translation to the error code: "exclusive access and device already open"
    Thanks for pointing to a right direction,

  • I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox but it hangs when I use a search site such as Google or Bing. How can I fix this?

    putting a search option in the search box to the right of the address bar opens up the full search window but then Firefox hangs.

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed, and those websites don't know you are running Firefox 3.6.3 (which is what you do have installed).
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
    Then restart Firefox

  • Windows 8 hangs or freezes whenever search for anything

    Rebuild the Index
    Whenever you try to search for something in windows, its indexing which find the things quickly and brings that to you.If indexing is disabled or corrupt computer won't be able to search and will not present the search results.Windows uses the index to perform very fast searches on your computer.
    The index requires almost no maintenance. However, if the index can't find a file that you know exists in an indexed location, you might need to rebuild the index. Rebuilding the index can take several hours, and searches might be incomplete until the index is fully rebuilt.
    Go to Control panel and open Indexing Options.
    Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the Indexing Options window. This displays a new window titled Advanced Options.
    Click the Index Settings tab if it isn’t selected already.
    Click the Rebuild button to delete and rebuild the file index.
    Click OK to confirm.
    For more information on Advance indexing option you can read article on microsoft's website http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change​-advanced-indexing-options

    Hi,
    Regarding current information we can't say that it related to this exe file.
    We need to use Clean boot mode and Safe mode to test the results:
    Please first restart the Windows in Clean boot and see if the issue still persists after reboot:
    How to perform a clean boot
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
    half services.
    If the issue still persists in Clean boot mode, please test in Safe mode.
    Let me know the results in Safe mode.
    If we cannot identify this issue in Clean boot and safe mode, please help to collect the boot trace and let's see what cause this issue:

  • "Searching for movie data in file [filename]" and iDVD hangs.

    I have a project I saved and I want to open and make a change to. iDVD loads the project and displays the title. When I click to edit one of the scene selection menus, it goes off "searching for movie data" and hangs until I kill it.
    Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I really don't want to have to re-do my project.
    Thanks!
    Scott

    This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
    You'll need to reset some Preferences.
