Mail search don't return results in chronological order

This change completely voids my ability to find an email using my IPad. I need to be able to sort by newest to oldest. Lots of threads on this it just needs to be fixed! Good thing I still have my Android phone.

Strange, my Mail search does return results in chronological order.

Mac Mail "Search" won't return any results

Hi,
Mac Mail- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
I'm having trouble with the search feature on my Mac Mail. I'm using an IMAP account with: Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk and trash mailboxes. I also have folders under the "On My Mac" section. When I click on a folder, either "Inbox" or a mailbox "On My Mac" and try and search for an email no results are returned even though there should be multiple hits. I see multiple emails from John Doe prior to entering John Doe in the search bar and no results are returned even when I switch the search criteria to either "From", "To" or "Any".
Also is there any way to search all folders in Mac Mail at once without having to click on each folder and search it individually?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

First, take all the applicable steps in this support article that you haven't already taken. If the problem isn't solved that way, see below.
Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

Help and Mail search don't seem to be working properly in Mountain Lion.

When i search for a keyword in mail and specify 'Entire Message', I don't get any results. Also, the OS X help function is not giving me any results because it says that it can't connect to the internet. The internet is connected and working normally in all other applications.

Regarding Mail, the entire message search uses Spotlight to find results. Is your Spotlight icon (magnifying glass) in the dock still indexing, or otherwise corrupted?
You may wish to just add and then remove your main hard drive from the Spotlight privacy pane. This will cause Spotlight to re-index the whole drive, and once that's done (it may take a few hours) the searches would work.
I'm not sure on Help... Any chance you're behind some sort of proxy server?

Mail search does not hold results

Since ios8 update, when I search in mail, I get a list of the results I am looking for until it finishes looking. The displayed results then revert back to the list of all emails as they came in and the search results are gone.
Search for "Julie"
Shows all the emails from "Julie"
After 15 secs or so (when the search has finished), the sorted list is gone and it shows all emails received and list is greyed out.

I need some examples.. I cant seem to find any code that will help.

Use CallableStatement. You can set parameters with setXXX and registerOutParameter methods. And to fetch results, you can use getXXX methods of it.

Content scope document library does not return result for non farm administrator

Hi
I have a situation where I had to go with a unique permission applied subsite to store 1000 documents in the document library. This site has a set of 50 users. I was able to create content scope and library path for search. It returns results for me(creator/owner/administrator)
however if I add other users as contributor or full permission, even after full crawling it does not return result for others.
I saw some article that security broken site wont be indexed normal way and to include and I did that as well but no result for other users. I always get result.
Please suggest if there are any specific security permissions that I need to include, so the document library target search will return result for others.
Thanks
Shri

Hi Shri,
For administrator search results, it looks like the documents could be crawled and searched.
For other users you grant full control permission on subsite with unique permission where you store 1000 dcouments in document library, please make sure these 50 users have access permission(at least view permission) on documents from the
library, then test again.
Also test if users search on search center site without search scope, see if it's scope issue or search web part issue.
If above doesn't work, please check ULS log for related useful information around the time when users search the documents, there should be more info to verify if issue is related to unique permision.
Thanks,
Daniel Yang

How to return a string in chronological order?

I have a string called schedule, for example:
schedule = "^14%Paul's house?Group Meeting\n^9%Nutty Professor's Office?Office Hours\n^12%MegaBits?Lunch"
After breaking it up using StringTokenizer, how do I return it into chronological order?
Return the schedule for each day of the week as a String with the appointments listed in chronological order, starting with those for the first day of the week and ending with those for the last day of the week.
The String should have the following format
Sunday:
^14%Paul's house?Group Meeting
Monday:
^9%Nutty Professor's Office?Office Hours
Tuesday:
^12%MegaBits?Lunch
Wednesday:
xxx
Thursday:
xxx
Friday:
xxx
Saturday:
xxx
xxx is the String representation of the schedule for each day. There should be no newline after the last schedule.
Note: if there are no appointments scheduled for a certain day, then that day should not be included in the String. (For example, if there are no appointments scheduled on Tuesday then:
Tuesday:
xxx
should not be included.)

Well, then,
i would assume you need to keep 7 variables, that hold the 7 values of the days,
then append the values together in the natural order using +

Mail search results are not in chronological order.

when I search for mail the results in iOS7 aren't in chronological order anymore. Both on my iphone 5 and my iPad 2.

Far worse than that. See this thread, among many: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5323188?tstart=0

Search in Mail (exchange account) gives duplicate results

ok - so assume that I know a bit about what I am asking - not a POP issue - not a corrupt exchange account, etc.
When looking into the inbox for the account - ONLY one copy exists.
When going to the accounts and then inbox - ONLY one copy exists
When looking into the all inboxes (irrelevant for this case - but I thought I would throw it in in case something thinks that might be it) - ONLY one copy exists.
When searching in the inbox of the account (wether I choose all mailboxes or current mailbox) - I see two of each email.
When going to the accounts and then inbox and searching (wether I choose all mailboxes or current mailbox) - I see two of each email.
When searching in the all inboxes (wether I choose all mailboxes or current mailbox) - I see two of each email.
One copy is NOT in sent/deleted.
Even if I open (therefore removing 'unread status') all of the multiple copies the duplicates still show in search.
The unread counts always show just the actual email when looking at the inboxes...and always show both the 'real message' and the duplicate in the count of the searches.
They can both be opened - though they produce the same exact info.
When I click edit (from the search) - only one gets the radio button to do something with it - and only that same one can use a gesture (move/trash/more/etc).
When the one without the ability to be edited/deleted gets opens - the unread status of the other does NOT change (on phone or server).
When the one that can be edited/deleted gets removed - the duplicate remains in the search (and cannot be deleted!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Personally - I never searched this way before io7 - but some of the users I support did. There is essentially a ghosting happening here.
PRE-ios7 experience - the user (who has been doing this for years) needs to move all emails from his Inbox from Mr. Joe Blow into Mr. Joe Blow's folder. previously only inbox emails were visible (first issue - now the whole darn account is searched) and previously only one copy of an email was visible (second - and really important issue). He would select all and move them.
Now - all of the emails from Mr. Joe Blow are duplicated - and he has to scroll through a mountain in order to select the ones he wants to move. The ghosted emails do not go away - not even when the 'real' email has been moved to another folder or completely deleted.
So - this is irritating today - but in a month will be completely debilitating.
This needs to be addressed by apple ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
Just fyi - there is no email syncing happening - there is no gmail anything - there is no @me account duplicating - there is no other reason for the nonsense. In case it wasn't obvious from the title - it is an exchange set up - not pop - not imap.
AND - it is happening on multiple phones. THOUGHTS???????????????

OK - unless a miracle happens in the next 5-10 minutes - apple's current stance on this is that we (corporate users) are going to have to work on this problem on our side of it!
I asked - so you expect hundreds, thousands of server admins (internal employee supported and hosted) to change their settings for you - rather than you changing the way the search app works? Response was YES!!!!
They recognize that it is happening as a result of the 'expanded' search functionality, that WE asked for. Uh-hum it was working before and not now - don't think we asked for that.
They say that they have no intention of fixing what's broken in the app. They consider it to not be broken - but rather improved. WOW!
They are CLEARLY catering to the 'hey where you gonna be tonight' crowd - rather than the 'We need to meet up at 3:00pm to go over these final plans so that I can authorize the next phase of building.' and the 'Go ahead and plan for the 2 mergers we discussed to move forward - I am canceling the third, though' crowd.
Yes - I am venting.....
I am supposedly being transferred to the 'enterprise support team' now. Tech tells me I never mentioned that it was an 'enterprise' issue. I'm like - really - exchange account - and I mentioned the corporate impact of the problem from the beginning. Anyway - we'll see where I get.
Just FYI - their search tool is supposedly returning these results because ALL of our servers are searching and seeing a server setting that allows it to search historical info ON the server. He says it happened this way in io6 - but it did not (thus we searched fine before and not now). I have two users (iPhone 5) who upgraded and have the problem - and one user (iPhone 5) who has not upgraded and does not have the problem.
OK - just got off the phone with apple. I was just transferred to the enterprise team - who said that rackspace could pay $700 and then apple would look into the problem. No, I am not joking. I recommend that you all continue to post your problems with the mail search as often as possible - and hopefully apple will take some responsibility and fix the issue on the app side - rather than asking us to all supposedly fix it on the server side.
I am contacting my exchange server admin to see if there is in fact a setting that will 'fix' the ghosting of the emails. If there is in fact a server side work around - I will post back. If apple gets smart and decides that fixing broken corporate features matters to them - I will also post back.
Any suggestions from the IT world reading this?

Mail search in iOS 7 doesn't allow me to select messages from results for Exchange account

I perform an Exchange mailbox search and after getting the results I tap on Edit to select some of the messages from the listed search results but I can't select any and the options for Move, Delete and Mark are greyed out.
If I do the search on the Gmail mailbox instead, the selection circle is available, I can select individual messages and the options for moving, etc. are all available.

Text search returns results with some keywords, but not others

This pertains to a tours website for Turkey. I've sucessfully
set up a search form, and results page which returns results when
multiple keywords are entered. Everything is working well, except
when certain keywords are used. For example, the table column being
searched for is called long_itinerary, so if anyone is interested
in a certain site or city, it's bound to be in the long itinerary
somewhere.
Here's the problem, by example: When someone searches with
the keywords Antalya, Konya, Ankara, or Adana, for example, results
are returned from the database, and those keywords are in each
returned tour's long itinerary.
But certain keywords return nothing, even when they're in
practically all of the tours, in the long_itinerary column. For
example, Istanbul, Ephesus, and Izmir, Kusadasi and Pergamum return
no results, even though they're there. I've gone through all of the
most likely keywords, and these are the offenders. If, for example,
I search with "Istanbul Ankara," I get results with tours including
Ankara (and Istanbul, but only because the word "Ankara" is in the
itinerary).
First I made sure the Charset values were the same on the
search form page and the results page. Still had the problem. Next,
I went into the database itself, and copied the word "Istanbul"
directly from the long_itinerary column of the database, and pasted
it into the search function's text field, and searched again. Same
problem--no results returned.
I can't see any difference between the keywords which work
correctly, and those which don't, what baffles me is that even when
I copy a keyword directly from the database and paste it in the
search text field, it returns no results!
Well, I'm baffled! Any ideas what might cause this?

Hmm -- one of my customers is a turkish building company
(Kusadasi BTW), and when *they* add some contents to the DB,
they´ll be entering turkish chars. It´s in particular the
turkish "I" which is pretty different, and this is when a search
for keywords containing a western "I" will fail.
Could that be the problem in your case ?

Windows 8.1 x64 Smart Search Outlook and OneNote 2013(x32) not returning results

Is the 8.1 Smart Search([windows-key]-type) supposed to return results from Outlook and/or OneNote?
I am using Exchange Cached mode for Outlook if that matters.
I have done the following to try and get results to show up:
control panel...Indexing Options...Advanced...File Types...Index Properties and File Contents
used indexing troubleshooter which found no problems
control panel...Indexing Options...Advanced...Rebuild...
used scanpst to scan my ost and make repairs.
checked and unchecked Outlook and OneNote within index properties
tried to go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\username.ost properties...advanced...checked allow this file to have contents indexed. Except the next time i start outlook the check mark goes away.
verified .pst , .ost and .pst files are all in the index service...file types... list
Search within Outlook itself works just fine and quickly, but i would like to be able to search from the "Smart Search". File name search is flawless.
If it isn't supported, why is it in the indexing options that clearly work for smart search settings because I also added a location for searching where file names search works just fine(although it does seem the contents of excel/word files are
not being indexed, but the index might still be rebuilding)
Any help would keep some hair on my head.
Thanks

Hi,
It seems that the smart search can't search the content in outlook and OneNote.
blogs.technet.com/b/daanish/archive/2014/03/19/windows-8-101-smart-search.aspx
The reason why Outlook and OneNote appears in the Index option tab is that Outlook and OneNote need the Windows search to help index the content in Outlook and OneNote, if we remote the outlook and onenote from Index Option tab, the search function in the
Outlook and OneNote may not works.
Also, smart search main focus on Settings , files, web Images, web Videos which we can select above the search box. Another reason we suspect the design for this is the consideration for security, if we can search the emails in the smart search, that
maybe some programs can access the content in Outlook and OneNote without authentication .
Hope the information above help.
Best Regards,
Jason Zeng

IOS7 mail search results appear to be random by date also where are the search parameters, from to etc..? help!

Mail search returns results by random date. Where are the mail search parameters, from,to,etc?

This is really annoying. Mail search on iOS 7 never worked, either on iPhone
4S or on iPad.
Search results are not sorted in any perceivable order. I get totally random results, with messages dating 4 years back jumping to yesterday and so on.
I have never seen Apple to respond to this issue with earnest feedback, and users are often dismissed.
I used to have to resort to my Macbook Pro to get decent results, but due to the many mail app problems on OSX, I do not rely on it anymore.
Can Apple please give feedback to this search issue on the IOS devices? It is really, REALLY crippling.
