My artists arent showing up in artist search

there are a couple of artists that are not showing up in artist search, like cat stevens or def leppard but when i got to song search, i can find all the song by those two artist. kind of annoying, wondered if anyone knew was wrong or whatever.

First reason this might happen is that if you have songs that are marked as part of a compilation (Get Info -> part of a compilation checkbox), they go into a different folder on your hard drive for compilations rather than that artist's folder. I think they then do not show up under the artist in the iPod. So check that to see if any are marked as part of a compilation.
Second, there is if you have only one album name listed for their songs for some of them and then no album for the others. Once you add a second album under an artist then all songs will show up under the artist, even ones with no album associated with them.
In other words, if you have ten songs under "Album #1" and then 5 other songs with no album associated with them, only the ones under "Album #1" show up. But if you add an album name to even one of the other 5 songs, then ALL 15 songs will now show up under the artist.
So either import another album or simply add an album name to at least one other song, even if "Fake Album Name" or whatever, to get them all to show.

Quick name search, music artist search, etc. (This is a suggested solution)

Spotlight wasn't finding documents or music, even if they were sitting on my desktop. I was using command-F to bring up the find window. It was also an annoyance to have to switch "kind" to whatever I was really searching for every time.
I found an Apple fix which suggested re-indexing my computer. I was lead to believe it was unnecessary to have to re-index, as Spotlight is supposed to update automatically, so I wasn't looking for that solution and wasted a lot of time before finding it. I saw it in a post on this site as well. In case you haven't seen that fix:
Go to System Prefs->Spotlight->Privacy, and enter all of your internal and external drives in the box. Then remove them, and it re-indexes everything. (It only takes about 14 hours...) OK, it actually took 2 hours, but seemed like 14.
The music and documents I was looking for now appeared under a general "Search for" after clicking command-F. But so did all kinds of other unrelated stuff, like eBooks, documents, emails, and even images when I entered "Name", "Pink Floyd. It was annoying to have to switch lots of fields to do a simple name search. Here's a suggested time saver which can be used for a name search or any other search.
This is an example for a music artist search.
1) To find songs by a certain artist anywhere on your computer, first open a find window (command-f). Then select "Others" in the top menu and click on all your drives.
2) For "Kind" select "Music". The and add "Authors" "Contains" on the next line. The ID3 tag for the songs you are looking for have to be filled in for "artist" for this search to work.
"Authors" is found in a menu that comes up if you select "Other" at the bottom of the pop-up menu under the first filter button. All kinds of other search terms are there as well which I never knew existed.
3) Then fill in some type of symbol which brings up few if any results in the Authors field and save the search. I used pi ("π", option-p).
Whenever you want to do an artist search, select your saved search, erase the symbol, and enter your actual search. Not really that big of a deal, but it is less annoying than switching everything every time you want to do a search.
You can do the same thing for any type of search. For example for a document search, enter "Filename" "Contains" and "Kind" "Document", then your symbol, and save it. That way you don't get 7000 results if you try to search for a word document you named "To do."
If you find this useless, feel free to post replies ridiculing me. But please make them entertaining

Another option:
Dowmload Quicksilver or LaunchBar or Butler
Take 5 minutes to configure it - just make it search your home folder, for instance.
invoke it with your keyboard shortcut

Cover-Flow- and Artist Search-Issue (with Compilations) not in manual

Hello,
I'm planning to buy an iPod classic 80GB, but there seems to be one issue I cannot live with: Albums marked as compilations are not recognized on the iPod classic. This results in the fact that all single songs on a album are represented as an own album in cover flow. In the artist-view every artist represented on one of the compilations is in the list. For people owning a lot of compilations with different artists (eg. "one hit wonders" or unknown bands) the artist search will be practically unusable.
So now I wait for an update fixing this issue. And this is what I would like to ask you: Is there any hope that this issue will be fixed in short time? Because in the classic functional-manual (other than in the 5G iPod manuals) the feature is not mentioned. So I assume Apple left out this feature intentionally
Thank you and best regards, Jens

And this is what I would like to ask you: Is there any hope that this issue will be fixed in short time?
Since non of us work for Apple we would have no idea.
But, the more people that let Apple know about this, the more chance we have of that feature being restored.

Podcast not showing up in itunes search after 1 week

i submitted my podcast with one episode and it was accepted on 17 july. i am able to get to it in the itunes store by using the url as provided in the email.
iTunes Store Welcome
Dear Podcast Owner
Your podcast, located at [ http://feeds.feedburner.com/meterdown ], has been approved. You should expect to see it in iTunes within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=260194221
i have put an icon with that url in my blog (meterdown.wordpress.com) and that works fine. people are taken to the podcast in the itunes store and can subscribe.
however when i search the store, my podcast is not turning up either by podcast name (meter down) or by author/artist name (kabi) or by keyword (taxi, bombay, hindi).
I can ping using the podcast ID (id=nnn) and it returns the podcast feed url (http://feeds.feedburner.com/meterdown) and the podcast ID.
it doesn't list an episode however. is it supposed to?
my main question is "why am i not showing up in the search?"
is there something wrong in my xml? I host at switchpod and run it thru feedburner and I use the feedburner feed.
i have read and read the forums here, feedburner, podcast alley and also am emailing switchpod support. still can't figure it out.
thanks

ssukotto,
Thanks for the information. What you mention is boilerplate that is automatically sent when a new podcast is approved. I also quoted it like scripture before diving deeper into researching this issue.
The research into this problem suggests that there is a minimum number of podcasts in order to be included in the search index (or at least the search results) whether it's undocumented or unintentional.
Case in point, Meter Down posted his first complaint that his podcast hadn't shown up in the search even after a week (far outside the 24-48 hours you mention and that is documented)..that was a week ago. A total of at least two weeks that his podcast could not be found by searching by the exact title. His podcast showed up search within a day after adding his second episode (yesterday).
Jerry Pine posted July 17 that his podcast "Everything Algae" had been approved July 13 but couldn't be found by searching...even by name. July 28th, he added a second episode as a test...and his podcast became searchable.
There are several others who went for days or weeks without being listed in search results by even searching for their exact podcast title...common trait between all of them was that they only had one episode. They added a second episode and within the day they show up in search results.
There are others that had newly submitted podcasts whose podcasts showed up within the 24-48 hours timeframe...but they had at least two episodes.
I'm just providing the facts...could be coincidence that they just happened to be searchable just after posting a second episode.
I'd invite you to read through and share with the iTunes podcast developers the several thread from various people who have reported problems with having a searchable podcasts and draw your own conclusions.

I want to exclude Mail messages from showing up in Finder search on OSX Mavericks.

I went to the SysPrefs > Spotlight > Search Results tab and uncheck Mail but all my email messages still show up in finder searches. How do I exclude finder from searching mail?

Thank you very much, this works! I didn't know about that feature, so your help was really vital!

Business catalyst site is not showing up on web searches

I built my site in Muse and published directly from Muse onto Adobe Business Catalyst. It has been a couple of months and this site is not showing up on web searches. I believe it has something to do with my Business Catalyst settings. Frustration has set in and I'm turning to this commuity to seek direction. The site is edgeadvertising.ca
Should I be looking at Googles webmaster tools?

Hi edgydoug1,
You have a challenging case since "Edge Advertising" appears to be a common business name with many other established websites for "Edge Advertising" or "Cutting Edge Advertising" businesses around the world.
First, I'm going to contradict Gaurav. I may be interpreting what I see on Google incorrectly, but it looks to me as though Google has indexed your site. It's a one page site. Correct?
A few things you'll want to do to improve the chances searchers will find your site:
1) Set the Page Title for your page in the Page Properties dialog. I recommend setting it to your business name. You might consider including Winnepeg in the page title, since that will increase the odds that someone looking for "Edge Advertising" in your area will find you, rather than the Edge Advertising in Washington, D.C., Tampa Bay, Fairport, NY, Houston Texas, etc.
2) You might consider putting your contact information where your copyright currently is.
3) Enter keywords for your page in the Page Properties dialog Metadata panel. Be sure to include Winnepeg and Manitoba (spelled out), along with your business name and the services you provide.
4) Pay special attention to where you apply h1, h2, h3 tags via paragraph styles. You should probably make the main "Edge Advertising" title the h1 for the page.
There are two primary factors to SEO, indexing and page ranking.
Indexing is about making sure your pages have content that corresponds to what your prospective customer will be searching for. This generally means choosing ~3 search phrases and doing what you can to be sure those phrases and the words in those phrases are used in your site. Your site has quite a bit of live text content, so you're probably doing well but you'll want to think about search phrases and see how well they correspond to words and phrases in your content.
With a single page site you're limited to a single page title and no filename for the HTML file (since it will be index.html), so you'll want to make sure the page title is good and you make good use of h1, h2, h3 tags. You may also want to add alt tags to your images (if you haven't already). And keywords in your metadata.
Page ranking is largely about the number of other sources (websites, twitter, facebook, blogs, etc.) that contain links into your site. If lots of other sites are referring to your site, your page ranking will be higher relative to other sites with similar page content.
Again, given the business name is not unique and many of the other businesses with the same name are likely to offer the same services, it's going to be difficult to differentiate your site to web searchers. You'll want to make sure the geographic location of your business is prominent along with the principals and anything else that may be unique to your business (that also known to web surfers).
Finally, when you make a change to your site, if you submit your sitemap.xml file to Google using Webmaster Tools it theoretically will encourage Google to re-index your site sooner, though there's no guarantees how long it will take.

Hundreds of Identical Files & Folders Show In All Spotlight Searches

Hundreds of Identical Files & Folders Show In All Spotlight Searches
Hi,
I had this issue posted in September and didn't get back to it 'till today so I found it archived. I don't think I got any answers the first time around. When a post is archived, are replies archived also?
Here's the problem:
Spotlight works for me the way it’s designed to work. It finds what I’m looking for if the item is in the computer.
But what are showing up in most of my searches, are long columns of files, all with the same names, sometimes as many as forty or fifty identical items. These files have the same dates and sizes. Some are located in different folders, including Trash, but most are complete duplicates
I do occasionally save as the same document in different places, or make a duplicate/copy to put in more than one location. But I have never created more than a few duplicates. In Spolight, there are hundreds
Any suggestions?

I rebooted the machine. Now all the files show up in Finder. But when I repeat the exporting procedure I get the same problems again. Files are not showing up in Finder as they are supposed to.

Show page correct - store search results incorrect

Hi. I submitted my feed:
http://www.tomrbaynham.com/feed/podcast/
Received the iTunes show page:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=337486702
The show page has the correct details - Podcast image, "The Investigative Author" and description etc.
When I search for my show in iTunes, the search results display the old information when I initially submitted the feed: Default Wordpress image, original blog title "The First Time Author". If I select the show, it shows the page with the correct, updated information.
How can I get the search page to update? It seems bizzare that the search is incorrect when the actual show page is up-to-date.
Any help is much appreciated!

I'm afraid I can't answer that - I'm not privy to the exact method by which the various parts of the Store work. If you feed is behaving entirely correctly in the Store page then there isn't anything you can do except wait and hope it will eventually correct itself: you could ask Support -
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/podcast/
but I'm afraid you will probably only get a form answer which likely won't address the problem.
