Multi-term searching without using Spotlight.

How can I search for a file that contains both the word "cat" and "dog", though they aren't next to each other. (So typing "cat dog" into a search field doesn't yield any results)
Also, how can I search for all files that contain the word "cat" and has the extention ".xim"?

I never use Spotlight, but rather the Search field in Finder windows. Can I use the same techniques? The Finder search uses "tokens"(?) which I don't really understand either.

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.

I cannot Search My External Hard drive using Spotlight in Mac OS X Lion ?? Plz help !!

I just upgraded from snow Leopard to Lion !..When i connect my external hard drive..and search it using spotlight..Nothing shows up ! NO results! Can anyone plz guide me how do i solve dis issue..? How can i reindex it ?

Hi...
I have a Synology NAS and wanted to be able to search for files and file contents on that NAS.
Digging around the forum, i found numerous suggestions for a solution, some more or less working,
but here is my may to getting i running.
In this example i have a shared folder on my NAS called Docs, so replace it with your share name.
Terminal is your friend (Use copy and paste for this, or make very sure to enter it correctly)
For enabling indexing on that share:
mdutil -i on /Volumes/Docs
it should return something like : indexing enabled.
To get indexing status:
mdutil -s /Volumes/Docs
Now, it looks like only new files gets indexed. I couldn't search in files already on the NAS, so :
cd /Volumes/Docs
and then
find . -exec touch {} \;
to set changed date/time to now.
After indexing is done (Can take some time - check activity monitor), search in finder
by cmd+F works also on the NAS for both files by name and contents.
I have not been able to get it working in the spotlight drop down in the top menu,
that seams to only search locally.

How can I use spotlight on ipad air to find docs in pages?

I was hoping the spotlight would find doc with terms (e.g. Shawl, HOA) in the title, it it doesn't seem to search that deep into apps. Is this not possible or am I missing something in settings? I would like to find all docs or PDF files in Pages or iBooks collections with the word "shawl" in the title or content.

You are not missing anything at all.
Spotlight will not find files or documents for you. You can see what you can search for using Spotlight in Settings>General>Spotlight Search. You can search for an application, but you cannot search for documents within the applications.

Multi-server Environment without Windows Domain

Hi,
Has anyone had experience with installing SAP BPC in a multi- server environment without using Microsoft Active Directory as a domain. (ie just using local users for everything).
Do we need to create a domain in order in successfully install and use the BPC? If that is the case, which server is best suited to install the domain on?
Many thanks

Hi,
Do you have at least a domain for hosting your servers ? Without an administrative domain for computer and technical accounts I doubt you could even make BPC work in a multi-servers environment.
If you don't have a domain for your users, you may (but i will never recommend it), create all your users localy. But you will have to create them on all BPC servers with same name / same password. Password adminisration will be a real mess as you will have to change the password on all machine each time the user want to change it. And this will not be done by the end-user but by IT staff. Also, users will not be able to use Windows Integrated Authentication functionnality.
So basically, yes use a domain for computer and users. The most easy architecture is to use a single domain for both computer and users.
If you have to install a Windows AD, I would take a look at Microsoft white paper and KB. But I think that you have to dedicate at least 1 machine for it (best is to have 2 servers for fault tolerance).

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

I accidentally found a .PDF file using Spotlight while I was searching for something else. However, I can't find the location of the file.

While I was using Spotlight to search for an app. I came across a .PDF file related to my job. However, it's not in the finder nor in the documents folder. As matter of fact, it's not even listed in the PDF files section. I can open it using Spotlight.....but I can't find it. It it on my Inbox? Do I have files lurking around in my computer without me knowing about them? Also I don't remember downloading said file. It's not harmful it's just a simple 32-page .PDF file that contains information on my company policies. But where is it and how did get there?

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

How to search a folder or a repository without using index service

Hi,
I want to get a count of all feedbacks (stored under /collaboration/feedback) created on a particular date. Since there are many sub folders, I am not able to use ICollection.
How can I read a folder or a repository without using IndexService.
Thanks in advance
Vidya

Hi SRIVIDHYA RAGHUNATH
I dont understand how can't use ICollection. What you want can be do it coding. The TREX and the Index search it works just to search on content.
I think what you have to do if Iterate on a IResource Object and the see if it is a file or a folder and keepp iterating, then when is a file, convert to an objects where you can get the feedback and count it.
Hope its help
Bye.

Multi-mapping with message bundling but without using BPM

Hi all,
I have a requirement to bunch specific no. of records (say 50) from source message and create separate target messages for those bunches. For example, if the source message has 120 records, then there should be three separate target messages created containing 50, 50 and 20 records each.
I am wondering whether this multi-mapping is possible without using BPM, as the typical no. of records in the source message are in the range of 600 to 800, and rarely (twice or thrice a month) they shoot up to 2000. So my concern is whether BPM would affect the performance. We are using PI at SP12.

Sorry for late reply.. Well the sender is a file system, which sends a single XML file containing multiple records. (I mean I have a sender file adapter that polls periodically from a specific path and picks up the file when it is available)
The no. of records in the source file may be different in each run. The requirement on the receiver system is that it can handle a file which has maximum of 'n' records only (say 50 in my example)
Now the sender file can contain any no. of records. It may contain 10 on some day, or 200 the next day, or 120 on the third day. But on the receiver side, I want the files to be created such that each will contain AT MAX 50 records.
So, if source file has <=50 records, then there will be only 1 target file having the same no. of records.
If source file has between 51 to 100 records, then there will be two target files. One will have 50 records, and the second will have remaining records.
And so on..
Regards,
- Shankar.

The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

How can I search the time capsule using spotlight or time machine?

Every time I try to use spotlight in finder, to find anything on the time capsule, spotlight automatically turns to the mac.
While using timemachine the connection to the time machine greys out.
How can I use these options, or different options to search the time capsule?

I've been looking for the star wars gui, but I only ended up watching scifi movies all night.
LOL..
Oh well it is new year.. seems as good a use of time as any.
Click on the time machine icon in the dock.. that opens finder inside the backup.

When using spotlight search on my 5s it will not show past text messages that haven't even been deleted even if I type a specific word that I know is in a message I want to search for. I have message search turned on in the spotlight settings.

When using spotlight search my phone will not show all text messages with a common word even though I have not deleted any messages from my phone and I have the message search turned on in settings under spotlight search. The search only shows the messages that are recent within the past day or so. Why won't it show the other messages when I search for them even using a specific word that I know was in the message I'm searching for.

Hello ChiomaM,
It sounds like you are not getting notifications for new text messages that are coming in, and you must manually check the app. I recommend checking the Notification settings to see if they are configured correctly:
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
iOS apps can provide three types of notifications:
Sounds: An audible alert plays.
Alerts/Banners: An alert or banner appears on the screen.
Badges: An image or number appears on the application icon.
You can view which apps provide notifications and adjust notification settings using Settings > Notification Center. For additional information, refer to the user guide for your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Different discount date from that of due date without using payment terms

Hi,
We would like have separate discount due date from due date without using payment terms for each invoice.
We wants to modify ERDK-FAEDS but unable to find suitable event/exit for the same.
So can anyone suggest any event where this can possibly be achived.
Regards,
Paresh

Hi,
We are using continuous days for working out due date from document date.
But for discount due date business sought to provide only working days (say 7 days) from document date.
So as to satisfy this requirement, I had adopted event R436 where system intially takes values provided but somehow it gets cleared in below lines. So I am unable to find a workaround to resolve this issue.
PERFORM get_user_exit_function USING 'R436'.
LOOP AT t_fbstab WHERE funcc <> 'ISU_SAMPLE_R436'.
    tmp_erdk = p_iiu-print_doc-erdk.
    tmp_erdz[] = p_iiu-print_doc-t_erdz[].
    CALL FUNCTION t_fbstab-funcc
      EXPORTING
        x_invoice_param    = p_param
        x_invoice_unit     = p_iiu
      TABLES
        xy_printdoc_lines = tmp_erdz
        y_new_bill_lines   = tmp_new_bill_lines
      CHANGING
        xy_printdoc_header = tmp_erdk
      EXCEPTIONS
        error_message      = 1.
