They appear to have been deleted in Mavericks.

Finder smart folder: "Search for:Today" has changed
I noticed today that the smart folder has changed and now only seems to be showing applications and not files also.
I'm not sure what changed it initially, but to try to "fix" it, I went to the finder toolbar and selected "Action>Show Search Criteria". What should the default settings be for this folder as installed by Mac OSX Leopard?The default criteria for Today and Yesterday, Apple's canned searches, are "Last Opened date is today" or "yesterday" plus "None of the following are true---Kind is Folders." If your are correct and aren't returning what you want, construct your own search that does what you want, then save it as a misnamed "Smart Folder"--be sure to check the box in the Save dialog to have it appear in the Sidebar.

"Search for today" in Mavericks
One issue prevents me from moving to mavericks. My current 10.6.8 has a "search for" option called "Today" (on the left margin of a finder window), which I find extremely useful. But this feature is missing in Mavericks. How can I have the "today" option with mavericks?

Messages - Searching for terms and finding multiple matches
In Messages, if I search for a term, and the term is matched multiple times within a conversation, how do I look at earlier matches? Right now it will only show me the most recent.
HI,
What I would like the Search to do is actually search all the chat I have ever had (I have saved one back to 2004 from iChat) so I could look for things people have sent me.
What I find is it will only search Open Chats.
Currently a Buddy I spoke to today show "history" only back as far as the Mavericks Update day due to the different places Mavericks keeps the Archived/Saved chats compared to Mountain Lion/Message 7.x.x. and iChat.
The particular Buddy does send my name on different days so I searched for that.
It tells me that it can find 6 instances.
It indicates one of these the first time you do it with a fresh word in the Search and only shows me the part of the Chat that occurred today.
As far as I can tell the highlighted IM (it was over the AIM service) is the last one with the occurring word in.
You now have to swap to the Edit Menu > Find > Find Next Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) + G
It seems this then work backwards in time.

How do I erase history of file use in "search for" sidebar in finder window
I just upgraded to Leopard and noticed that the "search for" sidebar in the finder window reveals every file I've ever opened in the past. I know I can turn it off in the finder preferences but I prefer being able to erase the history. I can't find an option to erase my file use history in the system or finder preferences. What can I do? I'm a stickler for privacy and don't like to keep this info on my computer no matter how innocuous or inoffensive the files might be. (Please spare me the inevitable jokes about hiding dirty pictures or videos... It's not that.)
Thanks

What is the best way to search for tags in Finder?
There are a lot of articles out there written about Tags in Mavs. All of them cover how to apply tags, but there is hardly anything written about searching and finding files.
Now, does anyone here actually use tags in Finder? How do you search for them? Did anyone ditch folders or stytematic file-naming?I am currently using and experimenting with Tags. Searching, finding, and managing your tags is pretty straight forward. On the far left side of any Finder window, you have a selected number of Tags predetermined and an option for "all tags." If you click on this link, it will take you to a menu where ALL tags in use are listed. Change the name and color for them just as you would any other file name (I have a usb mouse, so it's a right click for me).
If you used the "labels" feature (color-coding documents and folders), you have used tags; its the same idea, but now you define a word as what you are sorting by.
To search for a tag, I either use the in-Finder search or Spotlight (which may be the same, but I am not sure--I am also a newer Mac convert and am still learning the ropes). I have started to organize my schoolwork solely by tagging it, but I have run into issues where I have "Exam 01" for one class and need to make a second "Exam 01" file for another class (I created different tags for each class).
I will say that, since I started to only use the minimum amount of folders, I have noticed somewhat significant speed improvements in startup times and normal use. However, this coincided with the release of Mavericks so I do not know truly whether the folders help or not.
One of the things I both love and hate about tags is that you can search across multiple folders (or drives in my case) for documents matching the tag in question. When I download classwork from our school's website, I tag with the appropriate class name, and then move to external hard drive (yeah, I am paranoid). Unfortunately, if I then don't delete the copy inside the "downloads" folder, the document will show up if I try to list all of my "Class" tags.
Best of luck,

Search for Blank or find metadata that is empty
Hello super-intellegent people,
How do I search for all assets that have no keywords?
Thanks,
JacobUnfortunately you can't from the interface. (Send feedback to Apple if you want to have your voice heard.)
You'd have to script a custom solution to extract all the assets and test for empty keywords fields. -
I'm a little confused with how the Finder search works. It doesn't seem to find many files which exist on the hard drive. For example, take the widgets folder that resides in Macintosh HD>Library. The name of the file is simply "Widgets", but typing this into the Finder search yields no results...why?
You can also set up a search with system files included, and then save that as a saved search.
However, when you select it from the sidebar, it still selects This Mac, so you have to then select your saved search name. You can enter criteria in the search field. I think it's still easier just to pick System files included in the search (once you've put it in the menu). -

Searching for Projects in Finder
Is that possible to locate the projects that i created i Aperture in Finder or Find Any File?
That was possible in iPhoto.No for Projects.
Yes, but with warnings, for files.
Aperture is an image management system. It replaces the now outdated (and, imho, always hobbled) file management systems used for years to manage image files. One of the central preceps of Aperture use is that once you commit an image file to Aperture, you must use Aperture to manage that file. In other words, no making any changes in Finder.
The files you import become, in Aperture-speak, Masters of the Images you see in the Aperture Viewers and Browsers. Every Image has a Master. The Master is a file stored on one of your drives. Referenced Masters are stored wherever you tell Aperture to put them. They will show up in Finder. You can also right-click an Image in Aperture and select "Show in Finder", which will open a Finder window.
Managed Masters are the default. These are stored inside the Aperture Library. The Library is a Finder Package. It shows in Finder as a single file with the extension "aplibrary". The contents of Finder Packages do not show in Finder unless you tell Finder to show them to you. You do this by right-clicking a Package, and selecting "Show contents".
Why are you trying to use Finder to locate Masters and Projects? Aperture excels at Image (and Project) management. -
I lost my iPhone 5 and use the app find my phone using my mini pad, the pad finds itself but not the iPhone
I don't remember if I set the phone up or not, I guess I'm was under the impression that with iOS 7 the phone had a preset installed to find my phone? I'm curious whether apple has the technology to aid me in finding the phone?

How do I put a "close file" icon in the toolbar? There's an "open file" icon by default, but I cannot -- in spite of searching for an hour--find a way to put a "close file" icon in there?
Toolbar where? What program? What system?

I had this problem before and someone gave me a "magic" filename to search for using my Find Any File application, but I cannot remember the file name. Is it iPhoto6-something?
Hello Joel,
Don't know how to determine my OS
To determine your OS click on the apple in the upper left corner of your screen and click "About this Mac". The "About" panel will tell you all about your Mac.
On my mac (OS 10.7.3) I can search for iPhoto Libraries like this:
Select my Home Folder in the Finder
Type in ⌘-F to activate a search
Set the "Search" to "This Mac"
Set the "Kind" selector to "Other" and enter "iPhoto Library" into the search field.
This should reveal all iPhoto Libraries on your Mac.
With "Find any File" you could search for the ".iPhoto"-extension.

Hello everybody,
Can anyone from India Mumbai who has good experienced(Implementation) in SAP-PAYROLL INDIA and willing to teach or guide .
Plz let me know about this.Would like to learn as well as work all the flow that comes under INDIA PAYROLL.
Replay is highly appreciate.
Thanks,
Pradeep.Be careful what you wish for.
You can drag items listed under the "Today" or "Yesterday" sections under "Search For" in the Finder Sidebar to the trash. But you are dragging not just pointers.. you are dragging real files. And Applications. Everything you touch or open gets listed there and if you want to clear that list, and drag it all to the trash and empty the trash, you have deleted your files AND applications.
We just deleted Mail, Safari, Firefox and Entourage by "cleaning up" the Today list. I called Apple Support and we worked through reinstalling Mail and Safari from the Leopard install disk, but they told me I should have (at least!) been prompted for an administrator password when we prepared to delete applications, and we were NOT.
After reinstalling Safari and Mail and merely opening the applications, they appeared in my Today list. While the Apple analyst believed applications would not show up under the Search For lists if I had not "searched for" them, I told her, no, all I had to do was open and USE the application for it to appear in the "Search For" list. Then, to reproduce the problem, I easily deleted Safari a second time just to confirm there is no prompt for a password.
AppleCare Support noted the issue and also my concerns that this is a pretty risky feature of Leopard that it is hard to believe is intended functionality. If by design, it makes Time Machine a NECESSARY feature... -
How to search for a BADI in a transaction

Please let me know the steps to find a BADI for a transaction.
Thanks,
Jaffer Ali.Scheck this.
u can find BADI's in different ways...
1>First go to any transaction->iN THE menu bar SYSTEM->STATUS->Get the program name ->double click->u will go to the program attached to the tcode.Now search term will be CALL CL_EXITHANDLER.Now u will get list of BADI'S available..
2>Goto SE24->Give class name as CL_EXITHANDLER->Display->double click on get_instance mathod->Now u will go inside the method->Now put break point on the cl_exithandler.Now go to any transaction code and pass dat..U will see that it will be stopped on the break point which u set on the cl_exithandler...In the exit name u can find list of badi's attached to the tcode..
There are multiple ways of searching for BADI.
Finding BADI Using CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE
Finding BADI Using SQL Trace (TCODE-ST05).
Finding BADI Using Repository Information System (TCODE- SE84).
1. Go to the Transaction, for which we want to find the BADI, take the example of Transaction VD02. Click on System->Status. Double click on the program name. Once inside the program search for CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE.
Make sure the radio button In main program is checked. A list of all the programs with call to the BADIs will be listed.
The export parameter EXIT_NAME for the method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER will have the user exit assigned to it. The changing parameter INSTANCE will have the interface assigned to it. Double click on the method to enter the source code.Definition of Instance would give you the Interface name.
2. Start transaction ST05 (Performance Analysis).

3. Go to Maintain Transaction (TCODE- SE93).
Enter the Transaction VD02 for which you want to find BADI.
Click on the Display push buttons.
Get the Package Name. (Package VS in this case)
Go to TCode: SE84->Enhancements->Business Add-inns->Definition
Enter the Package Name and Execute.
Here you get a list of all the Enhancement BADIs for the given package MB.
The simplese way for finding BADI is
1. chooes Tcode Program & package for that Tcode.
2. Go to Tcode se18
3. Press F4
4. search by package or by program.
