Missing Search feature

I like the iPhone but, for anyone who uses the phone for work and has lots of contacts or info in his phone, the Search function is an absolute necessity...
I have close to 500 business contacts. It is almost impossible to scroll through the whole list. I have keywords in the contact records to locate someone if I forget the name or company. If that happens with the iPhone, I am out of luck. I hope Apple adds the search feature on the first software update.
Also, the business world has adopted the Adobe and MS Office document formats. Why have they been ommited in the iPhone? Is the target audience non-business people?

I would actually disagree that the iPhone isn't being targetted to business buyers. I think the only reason it seems that way is because of missing critical features like a find function, copy and paste, multi-recipient SMS, teathering, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the iPhone. I love it. And its exceeded my expectations as a Rev. A v1.0 device. But I think you might be making a leap there by assuming Apple isn't positioning this device to business users, when it's probably just that Apple was rushed to get the device out. (Remember how Apple delayed Leopard a few months because they had to pull the Leopard dev team to help with the iPhone to meet the June 29th launch date).

  • [Solved] Missing search feature in the generated logs?!

    Hi,
    Isn't there any search feature for logs generated by JDeveloper 10g? If I want to search some words in the logs I have to copy & paste the entire log into the Notepad and search my words there. Isn't there any better way? I know for example JBuilder has this simple feature.

    Hi,
    no, there is no feature like that

  • Search feature missing from Acrobat reader?

    I loaded a PDF file out to my Touchpad but there does not appear to be any search feature in the Acrobat reader?   Am I doing something wrong? 
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    I agree and made the suggestion.  Maybe if enough of us ask, the feature will be implemented. 
    Go to the Software Manager, click on Adobe Reader, click on "report a problem", click the drop down and choose "other". 
    Also, try the feedback:  http://www.hpwebos.com/us/company/feedback.html

  • Search feature with dreamweaver template

    I'm building a site with products ids, I need to include a search feature that can find a specific product within the site. I found a template in Dreamweaver that includes the search form. How can I learn how to make it work? Is there any script out there for this? Thank you

    Search is a server-side thing or something based on a pre-fab XML/ JavaScript that holds the indices and keywords. A input field named search in any form doesn't mean anything if the logic behind is missing. Depending on what you are looking for, something like this may get you started: http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/. For more complex stuff, you will have to use PHP or other server languages or rely on Google...

  • Update is not up to date....no search feature!!!

    when will an update include a search feature for contacts?? search is a key to ALL the information in contacts. currently you can only find a contact if you happen know the name. googles premium is based on search...every other mobile phone//pda has this. was apple listening???

    I have over 2,000 contacts. Flipping by finger takes forever, even when I know exactly where someone falls alphabetically. When I don't know the name exactly, for example only recall the company or first name, I'm doomed. No way to locate. Missing an alpha search is telling business users to stick with their Blackberry, whose search feature is superb. Want "Tom Smith"? Just type T space S and it is there.

  • Missing update features?

    I got the newest version of Lightroom (5.7.1 (assured by image 1)) after reading about the new features (HDR and Panorama merge) in the update window (shown in image 3).
    BUT when clicking "Search for updates" I still get the same window (image 3) that originaly made me update. And as one can see, in image 2, there is just no "Merge" - option at all.
    I'm looking forward to your solution.

    Thanks a lot!

  • No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought it would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is it really just limited to one key word per search?

    No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought an eBook reader would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is iBooks really just limited to searching for one key word at a time?  Am I missing something  basic in the search interface?

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick.  First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it.  Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy...

    Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick.  First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it.  Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy...  When I search for a file, A) it asks me if it's a name, or it wont produce anything, and B), its slower than in prior OS versions and in some instances I have to toggle to a different directory and go back to my original directory in the search: menu bar or the search wont produce anything...  Very buggy. 

    It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
    In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
    It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
    File access has been trashed in Maverick.
    They have improved (read broken) Finder. I need to manage a way to downgrade to Lion again.

  • Looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature (unlimited)

    Hi dudes,
    As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature without any restriction on the number of notes or any other major restriction. I already use HiDisk (which lacks search feature), and security note+ (which has limitation on the number of notes). I also have used My Disk which its search feature doesn't work correctly (it's buggy).
    Thank you.

    One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
    Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

  • I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature, the photo is there.  Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

    I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature the picture is there.  Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

    What system and iPhoto version are you running?
    If your're using iPhoto 9 or later  Command (right) - click on the photo in the search window and select Show Event in the Contextual menu. 
    That will take you to the event where the photo is.

  • Is the search feature no longer working?

    I have been trying to search the KBase for answers to posters questions but no matter what text I type in I simply get sent to a page that asks me to select a country, when I do it simply takes me to the main forum page. The same thing happens on the main forum page also. No matter what you do it won't work. If you are in a specific forum and use the search feature it will work within that forum but I cannot get it to work using the advanced search or on a search for a particular Kbase article. Even some of the links to kbase articles that I had return me with the same error. In fact, all of them do.
    It seems a shame that all that knowledge is going to waste!!
    Is there any idea what is happening and a timetable as to when it will be operational again?

    Hi Al --
    I've experienced this, too. I don't know the cause, but a work-around is, when you get that "select a country page," simply hit the "back" button on your browser so that you're once again on the search page and then hit the search button again.
    It's worked for me in the past and I just tried it again just now to make sure and it still works.

  • The search feature in Address Book no longer works

    I have over 2,400 contacts. For no apparent reason the search feature in my Apple Address Book no longer works. The  Address Book app has quit several times recently, again for no apparent reason. It is probably unrelated, but Preview has also been quitting. I have repaired permissions and used Disk Warrior 4.4 to rebuild the directory. Any thoughts?

    That was a while back...after a little research to jog my memory, it had to do with iCloud. I found this on another page, and I think this is what I did to fix it:
    "I had the same problem and fixed it a slightly different (and probably safer) way:
    Backup your Address Book - File > Export > Address Book Archive
    Go into preferences > iCloud - untick syncing for Contacts
    When it asks you, tell it to delete the contacts from your local Mac (all your local address cards will be deleted but they will still be in iCloud)
    All your cards should now be deleted from Address Book on your Mac
    Quit Address Book
    Go into preferences > iCloud - tick syncing for Contacts (this will download your contacts into Address Book again)
    Open Address Book and after a few secs you should see all your cards and the problem should be fixed"
    The important part is to be sure to export your Address Book before doing anything. I think I ended up afater deleting all the cards and quitting address book, I reimported them from the backup I exported. Has been fine since. This is pretty safe as long as you have that exported file.

  • Is the iPhone 5 in UAE missing any features?

    Hi guys,
    As far as anyone of you know is the iPhone 5 (and/or iOS in general) missing any features if bought from the UAE??
    Because as I recall at some point the iPhone 4 or 4S didn't offer FaceTime in UAE, so that's why I am asking!!
    Thank you

    FaceTime is not available on iPhones purchased in the UAE. It doesn't matter where you activate it or what version of the software you update it to. It can't be added to those phones. Ever. Sorry.
