Mail search and sort info

has anyone got any good information or links on Mail sort and search?
i am not getting results that i would expect (results are missing for all kinds of things) and i am also not finding a way to do simple things like how to search by sender as opposed to searching by term or by title. also, i am having a hard time figuring out if i can search in a particular email address etc, etc.
i also seem to get a decent amount of crashes in Mail now that i have moved to Lion.
TIA for any help

23. write a summary of your post, one that's not as long, and try to be careful with those special tokens that are used for formating.
hint: use preview button before posting, and not just press it, but also see that your message isn't odd looking[i/] in any way, for example you may have mistyped some formating token or something.
and in your code parts, add space before or after i in [], so it would be visible, and would not mess up your code and its formating.

Looking to Search and Sort String Twice, though am having issues

I am inputing from an access file a test library, the files in the access file are out of alphabetical order...thus I search and sort and bring these into LV in alphabetical order. But I am running into the issue of trying to further search and sort the second column of info via the model number:
example:
Model ............. Model #
Zetor               55
Challenger    55
Ford    55
Zetor 66
Challenger    66
Ford 66
Zetor               45
Challenger    45
Ford    45
Zetor 96
Challenger    96

actually in my original post I had a brain-lapse on what the final sort needed to be....
I was looking for this:

Challenger    96 Ford                 45
Ford                 55

thanks for the quick response.

Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3.

Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3 on my 27" iMac.
When searching in Apple Mail, sometimes a get a few results (with many missing), and sometimes no results at all.
I had absolutely no problems before with Snow Loepard.
I have reindexed mail and my startup drive. I have followed discussions regarding this matter and tried everything - a waste of time.
This is VERY serious for me - I have many thousands of messages that I archive and need to reference for work and clients, and now I cannot find them.

I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?fnode=51
When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

After installing the Maverick upgrade my Apple Mail search and flags no longer work correctly?

after installing the Maverick upgrade my Apple Mail search and flags no longer work correctly? I've already rebuilt the mailboxes with no change in the problem. What else can I do???

Hi as2020,
If you are having issues with Mail in Mavericks, you may want to make sure you have updated to the most recent release. You may find the following article helpful:

Mail: search and smart mailboxes stopped working

Hi folks,
In mail the search and smart mailboxes have stopped working. I have a hunch it's something to do with iCloud as my partner is now logged onto iCloud using iTunes etc. Can you help?

My accounts are POP. But I have managed to fix the problem. When you mentioned Spotlight, I went into System Preferences thinking I may had accidentally turn off emails as a search option in Spotlight. It was on, but I turned it OFF and then ON again, and now search works in mail as usual. And my Smart Mailboxes too.
It's one of those things
Thanks for your help

How can I search and sort media files to eliminate duplicates?

I have been downloading video files off of a SanDisk media card and I haven't been deleting old files off the media disk. Each time I download the files, I have been downloading a duplicate set of old files.
Is there a way to sort the duplicates so that I can delete them on my hard drive?

Hi,
It should be caused that Windows Search is not installed on the second server. See following steps to install it:
1) Start Server Manager
2) Click on Roles in the left navigation pane
3) Select Add Role in the Roles Summary pane to the right
4) Select the File Services role and click Next
5) Select the Windows Search role service and Finish the wizard.
Meanwhile, when you search for a file such as "data", input keyword data and click the Advanced Search at the bottom to result box. Then you can select "Data and modified" and "is after" December 1, 2010

Java Binary Search and sorting in Java

My program is suppose to search news articles and alphabetize all the words article individually of the text file. Right now the program alphabetizes all the words of the articles including the numbers. The text file will be located below the code. So basically i need to know how to alphabetize every articles words individually.
//This program reads an input line from the reader put the worda into an array with a count and increases
//the count each time a word is repeated. It then sorts the words alphabetically in the array and
//then prints out the array. There are 4 different articles like this one in the text file

Searching and sorting in Xcelsius

Hi,
I have a requirement for sorting and searching functionality in Xcelsius.Is that possible by using Excel formulas?For searching i have used this Excel formula =INDEX($B$2:$B$15,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$15=$A$17,ROW($A$1:$A$15)),ROW(1:1))) the row function is not supported by Xcelsius.Is there any other way or idea to work out those functions in Xcelsius.

Help: YouTube app Search and sort problem

Hi,
I have problem with the YouTube app. I know there is a search feature, I found the magnifying glass. However, I have 3 problems.
1.) Search Problem: It won't search everything on YouTube. I tried seaching, many results would come up from PB's web brower, but it would NOT on the app. So, what's the point of the app?
2.) After finding the video, the app does not allow me to find/list "video by the same author" or "related video", the "related videos" are not so close "related" compare the web version.
3.) When press on the "info" buttom on the app. The author's describing and format are off. or not display completely..
Would someone please tell me if there will be a fix? or how to fix it?
Thanks

I am not having that problem. Could you post screen shots?

Dreamweaver - Search et sort function

I would like to know howcréeate a simple search and sort
function : for example, I would like customers to find
"Appartements" in "Rome" "price beetween 100 000 and 200 000
€" ? I would like the list of answers to be sort
automatically. Could somebody help me ? Thanks.
Bonjour, je cherche comment créer, sur Dreamweaver, un

"Appartements" à "Rome" "prix entre 100 000 et 200 000

You would have to do this with your server scripting. While
DW can help you
establish your data connection, and place that data on the
page once you
have retrieved it from the database, the searching and
sorting would need to
be handled in the SQL query that retrieves this data.

Saved and sorted/filed mail messages missing

Saved and sorted/filed mail messages missing
October's messages are still there but all other messages are no longer in the folders. I have a confirmations folder with all forum and newsletter info for the last year that is empty. Where do these messages go?
I do not believe that I have it set to empty or delete itself after a certain time.
I can probably find these messages from comcast/gmail but still am wondering about this issue.
Thank you.

Hi, sounds like a Save/Delete 1 month check in the box. I actually have a gmail account which gets sent a copy of every email from my other email accounts..Once each month I can Delete or Keep as I wish. Back Up....L

IPhone mail search sorting

I need to sort my mail searches by date Mail on my iPhone and iPad give randomly sorted mail search results. This makes search almost useless when there are many emails in the search results. Ideas as to how to correct this?

did id you ever get as solution to this? Thanks

I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.

Mail search not working and no metadata importer

Recently, after the last security update, I've lost the ability to search within mail messages and some files. Searching in mail ONLY finds messages that have been opened (display in view panel) recently and nothing else. So all old emails don't show up even if I know the content is there. I also can't find contacts unless they've been opened at least once too.
In trying to track this down, I used mdutil -L / to check for importers and there's no obvious one for Mail -- I'm not sure if this is a problem or not.
I've also tried everything over on the Spotlight discussions (delete index, rebuild index, Onyx, etc etc):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=596669&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=591105&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=432773
Can anyone help? Not being able to search through 1000s of old mails is a major problem for me.
Mac Book Pro, Powerbook G4, iMac G5 iSight, others Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi David
Yes, I found the importer now. I also fixed my problem, but with 'brute force':
For each of the folders not being indexed, including the ~/Library/Mail folder, I turned on Privacy in the Spotlight System Prefs and then turned it off again. This seems to have fixed things. I did this for some old document folders too and that also seems to have worked.
So far so good. thanks again. For now I'm marking this as solved.
