Maverick "search function" issue

Upgraded to Maverick and now my computer cannot search for files on servers connected to my desktop.

You need to move this to the Mavericks OS forum section. This area is for users of Power PC processor Macs (the old ones). Mavericks doesn't run on these.

  • Chm search function issue in Japanese windows 7/XP Operation System

    search function does not work in Japanese windows 7/XP Operation System

    Sorry, I really don't what the meaning of "Does the file launch? Is it on a network drive?"..
    You know, I create a project file(all contents in every page is english) by using Robohelp 10, then I generate Microsoft HTML Help(chm), during generating,popup a dialog window which says “Html Help settings has unsupported characters for the choosen language. Do you want to continue?”,I choose "yes", It will continue to generate,
    1.After finishing generating, I open this chm document, the search function is OK in Window7 Chinese/English Operation system(32bit/64bit);
    2.Then I send it(chm) to some Japanese  who use window vista/7 Japanese Operation system, the search function is not work

  • Search function issue

    When using the search box in the upper right corner:  I get a response that lists a number of albums/songs/etc.  But, when I click "show more" nothing happens.  This field seems to be grayed out.  Also, if I click on the "+" sign, it does not add the songs to the list of next songs to be played

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks the "search" function in mailbox does not show any results, however spotlight is working fine.

    The search function on my mailbox is not responding after trying to search my mailbox. I am able to search my mailboxes through Spotlight though. This seems to be since upgrading to mavericks.
    I was wandering if anyone has this problem and knows how I can resolve it.
    Thank you

    Hmmm,
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • Why the Finder Search-Function is corrupted in Mavericks so that I cannot open any file after searching it?

    Finder Search-Function is troubled / corrupted / misfunctioning
    When keying in a search word the files are selected properly, yet not shown with details. Furthermore you cannot click and open any file. Also sorting is not possible.
    Anyone else has such a problem and has figured out on how to resolve it?
    (Spotlight works properly and is somehow a spare solution).
    There seem to be many basic problems with the finder in Mavericks, this problem unfortunately has not been resolved also with the last software-release 10.9.2.
    The quality strategy of Apple has to be questioned: I do not need 200 NEW functions, but I need the previous basic functions STILL working!
    Thank you!

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by logging out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer ones.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
    Resolved the Problem! Thanks to Eric and Leonie

  • Fix for WebHelp output issues with IE 11 breaks Search function

    I use RoboHelp HTML 9 and have been having issues with generated WebHelp in IE 11. The TOC was totally blank and the Search tab looked fine but did not function. Everything worked fine in Firefox. After much experimenting and online research in these forums and elsewhere, I have been able to get the TOC to display properly in IE 11 (and Firefox) but the fix has caused the Search tab to stop functioning as per this other forum post RH9 Webhelp Search function is not working properly.
    I need to have BOTH TOC and Search displayed and functioning properly but in order to get the TOC displayed properly I had to change the Preferred Format setting to "Pure HTML" and, according to the post mentioned above, that is what messes up the Search function. Is there a solution that will allow both TOC and Search to function properly?
    Here is a summary of the steps I have taken to get to this point:
    Tested WebHelp output from two different projects of my own as well as the Salesbuilder starter project - all would display/function properly in Firefox but not in IE 11 (blank TOC and non-functioning Search).
    Found a "patch" for RH10 for the exact problem I was having with RH9 but was not able to find a version for RH9. Since the patch included 2 files (whutils.js and whver.js) only, I backed up these files in the RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock directory and replaced them with the new ones.
    Regenerated one of my RoboHelp projects - still didn't work in IE 11 and now didn't work in Firefox either!
    Tried turning on Mark of the Web but this did not help and would not allow opening PDF's which is necessary to one of the projects so I turned it off again.
    Changed Preferred Format setting to "Pure HTML" instead of "DHTML" and the TOC displayed and functioned properly in IE 11 and Firefox! Hurray!!
    Celebrated for 10 seconds until I clicked on Search tab and saw the input box filled with letters of the alphabet with other random letters, words, numbers below. It looks almost like an index but neither of my projects uses an index and I have not generated one in either project.
    Found the post mentioned above which states that the solution is to change the Preferred Format setting back to DHTML but when I do that I am back to blank TOC and proper-looking but non-functioning Search!!!
    I have now removed the Search tab from the output of one of the projects since it is not really necessary but I need to find a fix for this for my other project.
    Both of my projects are run locally - one is release documentation that is distributed on a CD and the other is CSH which is loaded on the local server with the software for which it was created.

    Note to Administrators: Sorry, but I originally posted this as a reply to a previous post - Contents, Index, & Search do not display in generated help... - so perhaps it should be removed from that thread to avoid confusion.

    The "preliminary" fix provided has worked perfectly! All versions of my WebHelp project now display TOC properly and I was able to change the Preferred Format setting back to DHTML so the Search tab both displays and functions as it should. I am very grateful to William for providing this fix which works in both IE 11 and Firefox. Someday I will pursue the fixes to make it work in Chrome as well.

  • Issue with Windows Explorer search function and network shares.

    Hello all,
    I hope all is well, I am having a very odd issue.
    One user when they access a particular network drive, and try to use the explorer search function it prompts the following error 
    Runtime error
    Program:
    This application has requested the runtime to terminate in a unusual way. Please contact application team for support.
    I have checked the event viewer on both the user machine and server hosting the share, not events show up regarding the issue.
    I have tried with the user machine in safe mode with networking, and the issue still occurs
    It of course is not telling which application or program is causing this.
    I have confirmed all windows updates are up to date. 
    I have gone to the windows search in services and swapped the 1 for a 0, that opened up three of the four network drives for search
    the last one is still causing this error.
    User computer is windows 7 professional 64 bit
    server is windows server 2012 64 bit.
    I am at a total loss as to why this is happening on two machines out of ten.
    any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Cheers
    Josh

    Hi Josh,
    What operation did the user act and how to use the explorer search function to cause the issue? Please check if the issue still exists after the user does the same action locally.

  • Search function in Help not working in any application

    The Search function is not working in any application's Help. Upon entering the terms I need help for I get a hang at "Searching..." but never any result. This problem started sometime in the last year or so. Prior to that the search function in Help worked fine. My network connectivity is excellent.
    I recently reinstalled OS X 10.5 but I'm sure the problem existed before that and persisted after the reinstall.
    The reinstall was due to upgrading to 10.7 and only then finding that I had lost needed functionality, but I don't think this has anything to do with the current problem. All other aspects of Help seem to be working fine
    I don't find any reference to this problem anywhere so I'm hoping someone can help with my Help(!) problem. Thanks in advance.

    Try running your Leopard install disk again, as well as the 10.5.8 combo updater. This might reinstall any 'missing bits'.
    You can do this without deleting the hard drive, just install straight over your existing system, but close all applications and external devices first.
    Or you could also do this via an Archive and Instal:

    and this also:

  • RH9 Webhelp Search function is not working properly

    Hi,
    My organization is using RH9 for a Webhelp project.  My company and our client are restricted to using IE9 for the online help I have created for this project, and our OS environment is Windows 7.  When I generate using the Webhelp layout, with the TOC, Index and Search options chosen, my resulting browser window shows two frames.  Left for the Contents/Index/Search and right for the content.  In the left panel, there are three links at the top for Contents, Index and Search.  When I click on the Search link, the only thing I see is the alphabet A-Z (which are links to filter items beginning with these letters (much like the index link) and a list of what I would say is garbage.  For example, if I click on H, I see items like "half 1 2 3" or "held" or "honor # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8", etc.  If I run my cursor down this list, I notice that maybe the word honor is a link.  If clicked it brings up one of my topic pages.  I can also click on the random numbers that appear, like clicking on 3 it brings up another topic page.  The search function does not allow me to type in a search criteria, since there is no search field as well.
    Do you have any suggestions for this issue?  Is this a bug, or do I need to change settings somewhere within RH9?  The same thing is happening when using this help project that is running on our clients server.  Is there any suggestion you can give to try and make this work properly?

    Rick,  Thanks for stepping in.    I assumed that was the reason why I was not receiving the search field, and that is fine for now.  We have discussed with our client the possibility of having two different help projects one for each, but that decision was kind of put on the back burner.
    However, the other issue I am having is still there and I don't quite understand why.  Since I only have clickable A-Zs for the search, and it lists links much like the Index section, I'm still seeing lists of just numbers and characters (i.e., "# 1 2 3 4 5", or "%" or "& 1 2 3 4 5" sometimes all the way up to 18 or so).  And each of these characters or numbers are clickable links as well to either page that doesn't contain that number or to nothing.
    Doing a bit more research, I have noticed that a lot of these links are being picked up by the PDF file we have as part of the project.  Our help project has a link to the documented version of the help in the form of a User Guide.pdf file.  So the search is listing items from that guide like the heading numbers 1.0, 1.0.1, etc.  Also each of these are clickable links that go nowhere.  But then there is still the numbers 1, 2, etc that go to pages that don't have this anywhere on the page.
    Do you have any insight as to why these types of things are being listed under Search at all?  They make that selection look very messy and unorganized.  Not professional at all.  I have checked and tested the properties settings and can't seem to find what is causing this to happen.  Any idea would be most appreciated!!

  • ICal Tasks/To Do Items Keep Disappearing, plus search function doesn't work

    Ever since I upgraded my Mobile Me calendars about two or three weeks ago, which as I understand makes my calendars now LIVE on the Mobile Me cloud instead of directly on my computers, I have had nothing but trouble with iCal. I use Bento with iCal for my project management system — I use the iCal Tasks for my basic information, and I added extra fields in Bento for other details I like to track. Anyway, the upgrade completely unhinged where those two came together so that the basic information that Bento was getting from iCal no longer matched with the extra details.
    But that's no longer my problem. I fixed that easily by completely changing the way I track things now — I did away with the extra fields and decided to have Bento work directly and only with the information in my iCal app.
    Still, another problem came up, the one I need an answer to. New tasks I entered through Bento, wouldn't KEEP on iCal. They'd show up momentarily, but a day or two later, they would be gone.
    I thought I fixed it a few days ago when I discovered that Time Zone Support wasn't checked on iCal. I made sure it was checked on all my computers AND on Mobile Me because I suspected that Tasks were disappearing every time my computers synced with Mobile Me. It seemed to work fine after making sure everything supported time zones. I even synced a few times, just to test it, checked all calendars at all places, and whatever Tasks or To Do Items I added from within Bento appeared to sync fine, appear at all the proper places, at all instances of the calendars, AND stay put.
    BUT I just discovered tonight, that the new Tasks I entered in the last week for one of my calendars have ONCE AGAIN disappeared. For some reason, though, the new tasks I entered for another one of my calendars managed to stay put. I have no idea why one calendar was affected and another wasn't.
    The point is, I can't for the life of me figure out why my newly entered Tasks keep disappearing. Is it an iCal thing? Is it Mobile Me? Is it because I am entering the tasks/to do items from within Bento? What?
    And the icing on the cake? The search function on the iCal app on one of my computers no longer works. I will search for a task/to do item that I KNOW is there and can actually see on the side bar, but it will not pop up in the search results. I searched online about how to fix that, but none of the fixes work — many of them, I believe, are outdated and so can't work in my case.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix these issues?

    with iTunes and the apple.com web site, you don't hit
    the Magnifing glass, after typing out what your
    searching for, you hit enter on the keyboard. The mag
    glass (Atleast in windows) is just for decor showing
    you its a search field, its not an actual button like
    it would be in most Microsoft/Windows apps
    Thanks. I thought the magnifying glass was a clickable icon.

  • Search functionality no longer works in any of my recently generated HTML Help projects

    I'm using Rh 10.0.1.292 and Rh 11.0.4.291 for different projects.
    Recently, I've noticed that the Search feature returns no results, in any of my projects that are generated in either Rh10 or 11. I just get the "No topics found" message. This used to work.
    The only thing that has been done recently (that I can think of) involved working with .slp files to fix an issue with the Glossary tab and the Search functionality in a Rh 11 Responsive HTML5 layout. (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1690579) I can't, however, see how that would break the Search functionality in my HTML projects.
    Any ideas?

    In either Rh 10 and 11, whenever I generated a project as HTML Help (even an example project) the Search functionality was broken. Finally, when I couldn't think of what else to try, I uninstalled and reinstalled Rh 10, and that solved my problem--in both Rh 10 and 11!
    Apparently some file was corrupted, but I don't know what was broken or what caused the corruption. I am still trying to get some clarification from Adobe, but so far, I have only received the following comments:
    The robohelp cache folder and the preferences might have caused this.
    The problem can be either with the updates on system.
    If I should receive any definitive information, I will update this post.
    Thanks.

  • In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    OS Yosemite,
    Finder versión 10.10.1
    Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
    In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
    1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
    2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
    3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
    Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
    1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
    2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
    3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
    4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Search Term Issues when passed as Parameters in Opening a PDF file in Browser (Updated)

    Hi everyone,
    I am wondering if there is a solution to the following issue.
    We are working with PDF files that have been OCRed (invisible text layer). We use a search engine to search the PDFs for terms. We then pass the search terms as a parameter to the PDF when we are opening it in Acrobat or Reader in the browser. It brings up a list of instances and the context in which it is found -- much like the native search function -- but it is not possible to only search for the exact phrase when it is passed as a variable..
    In some cases, what we see are two lists -- so it has the filename with a list underneath that is expanded showing search results, and then a second instance of the file name after that list, but it is collapsed.
    Is there a way to just have one list or both lists expanded at the same time?
    Also, is there a way to ensure that it shows instances where more search keywords are found at the top of the list.
    For example, if we pass the search phrase "wanted to buy a car" it might show instances of "to" at the top of the list, but later on in the collapsed list it might show instances of "buy a car".  Again, is it possible to prioritize the results, or at the very least, expand everything? I am not sure what else we can try.
    thank you,
    Jeremy
    Follow up: I should note that some times the two lists appear to be the same or similar terms found twice. At the top it would say 2 documents with n instances (where n is the number of instances). I have noticed this when the search keyword count goes up.
    Follow up #2: It appears that this occurs more often when using more than 2 keywords, but I have seen it happen with only 2 words.

    There were documents available in the knowledgeable that I no longer have the urls for. I have had communication with Adobe Acrobat support personnel that have made the same statements. I do not have the habit  of asking official Adobe tech support people to prove their statements by providing documentation. I have also seen Adobe employees give presentations on computers that have had both installed. When they were asked about the incompatibility, they did say the equivalent of phooey. However, enough people on this forum have had their problems disappear when they have removed one of the two programs that I feel comfortable giving that advice. Yes some people have no problems running both until one of the programs or a system component gets updated and then things stop working. My advice is not to have both on the same computer. When two programs share system calls and can fight over who gets to handle the call it makes sense that it can cause a problem. It doesn't make a difference if it is Reader and Acrobat or any two other programs you run. If you are not having a problem with running both GREAT. However, if you are running both and have a problem, it is a simple step to eliminate one and see if the problem disappears.
