My search isnt working

My search box wont allow me to search for anything -- it just started doing it. I just got upgraded to firefox 9. Neither Bing, Google, or Yahoo work.
Plus, I've noticed that filling in data while on the web, what I write takes forever and words and letters get jumbled and I have to go back and correct the words that didn't completely write. Even writing this is driving me crazy.
Only happens while on web-related writing.

Hello, the Java situation was resolved [thank you], but the non-functioning search continues.
When I enter data into the search box that exists (I presume it's Firefox's) it will show the suggested or related search choices, but when you select one and click on search, it opens a page but it is blank.
It's bizarre. Search doesn't even work when I am on Yahoo's, Google's, or Bing's websites directly, not just from the search bar.
I did disable Yahoo's toolbar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SQL DBA renamed the Search databases, and now search isnt working

Our SQL DBA, saw the GUIDs and decided to rename the databases, didnt bother to tell anyone that they did it, now search is not working at all.
Should we reconfigure a new search of try to figure out how to put SharePoint search to the renamed DATABASES?
I also have found that the prior names of the Databases what they were with the GUIDs and was thinking of telling the DBA to rename them back, would this causes an issues... and this is in PRODUCTION SharePoint...

You can get the "old" names via Get-SPDatabase. Rename the databases within SQL until you have a chance to follow the proper procedure. The proper procedure is outlined here:

Metadata Search not working

Hi friends,
I have an environment working with UCM10G and everything is running ok except the Metadata search.
At my Content Server i have 26.000 CAD and Image files.
If i do a search by title with the word "ROBOT" i get 26000 results.
If i do a search by title with the word "TOY" i get 26000 results.
The same will happen with the other metadata fields.
So my search isnt filtering the results.
At my config.cfg i have the property: SearchIndexerEngineName=DATABASE.METADATA
Looking at Repository Manager > Indexer i Started Collection Rebuild Cycle and at Indexer Counters i have:
Total 26000
Meta only 26000
My database is Oracle 10G
Did i miss something?

This problem only happens on advanced search. Quick search is running well.
Looking at system audit logs:

My touch screen isnt working. There is definitly something wrong thats out of my power. Its a ipod 3g 8gb. How much will it cost to get it fix at a local itunes store

My touch screen isnt working. There is definitly something wrong thats out of my power. Its a ipod 3g 8gb. How much will it cost to get it fix at a local itunes store. i really need to know

First if your iPod is 8gb it is not a 3g. It's probably a 2g.
Apple will replace your iPod for $99. This is a complete replacement not a repair. This won't be done at an Apple store.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
There are third party repair shops that might be able to do a repair. Google search for them.

My sound is fine but my mic isnt working. how do i fix or figure out whats wrong with it

Title says it. I just did a clean wipe on my computer and now my mic isnt working on vent or skype, i dont know what is wrong with it. When i go to my sound hardware it says my external mic, IDT high def audio codec is enabled..

Same thing here. Must be update related. Who knows. Tried to go into ventrilo today and nada. Can hear people fine, microphone not picking. In my devices it says my Anvex Virtual Audio is "not available", same with the "IDT High Definition Audio Codec. Now I'm starting to get a little agitated. No diagnostics have come back with a ping on the issue. All settings seem fine. I HAVE AUDIO, as in my speakers are working so **bleep**.
I'm lost. No clue how to fix it. Guess I'm no longer raiding and that if this isn't working I'm going to go buy a Dell and rage beat this piece of **bleep** in the yard. That's right. I am taking 3 years of continual frustration out with HP errors, Vista complications and overall disatisfaction.
If you can fix this problem I will offer you pictures of fluffy kittens and circus acrobats/contortionists. Now fix my ventrilo. lol

No.
The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.
See if that resolves the problem. If not then more information will be needed before making suggestions. Please provide as much as you are able of the the following

Search Not Working in WebHelp - Suspected Java Issue

The Search function in our output WebHelp system is not working from one user's laptop. The WebHelp is generated from our RoboHelp 8. Search does work in everyone else's access to the system. This Windows 7 laptop displays an "Error on Page" message when he enters a search value and then chooses the Search button. He says the same error occurs for the Index. Because no other users have this problem, we are definitely thinking it's something in his laptop configuration for Java - as we see the JS file references in the error details, as shown below.
The details for the "Error on Page" message are referencing the following messages and JS files
Index error messages in details:
Object doesn't support this property or method - whthost.js
'innerHeight' is undefined - whutils.js
Search error messages in details:
Object doesn't support this property or method - whthost.js
'innerHeight' is undefined - whutils.js
'gaFakes[...].nB' is null or not an object - whhost.js
'Node' is undefined - whfhost.js
What should he check in his Java? He's using Java 6, Standard Edition, update 16. Any ideas or suggestions about what he should check on this laptop? I would appreciate your help and expertise in solving this mystery! Hopefully I've provided enough details here - but let me know what else I need to provide.
Thanks so much,
Susan

We were getting this error sometimes.
I modified the code in wsutils.js as follows:
Original code:
function    getClientHeight()
    if(gbSafari3)
         return innerHeight;   //this is for safari
return document.body.clientHeight;      }
New code:
function getClientHeight()
return document.body.clientHeight;
Seems to work (at the cost I guess of losing support for safari browsers - but I haven't tested that), but I can't test that it never fails because it was an intermittent fault...

Search not working on Task Description

Hi,
I am facing a strange scenario with search not working on Task Description for a particular task item. This task item has around 18 versions of itself within it.
I tried replicating the same scenario in our Test environment with following changes in the task item description:
1. Copied the task list over to Test environment.
2. Deleted all the versions of this task and put a single line description as.
3. Initiated full crawl and search results with task description were
coming up fine.
4. Made few more versions : 5 Versions and again initiated full craw. Search results are fine.
5. Made few more versions this time and again a FULL crawl, but now NO results with this task description.
So, my question here is that is there any limit by MS for multiline text limit or version limit which prevents the task description from coming up in search results.
This task description as multiple line text with links to other lists/libraries and user names who created the versions in this task item. We are not using FAST search.

I found the answer elsewhere on the forum:
Somehow the main drive was added to the privacy list in Spotlight. Search is working fine now that I've removed it.

Search not working in Mail app

Hello,
I am on a 3.2 ghz intel core i3 iMac 27in from 2010. I'm on 10.7.5 which I recently upgraded maybe a couple months ago from 10.7.2. Mail version 5.3.
For a while now, (and I honestly can't remember if it coincided with the recent upgrade), I have not been able to search my emails which is a huge inconvenience. For example, when I know an email came to me 2 weeks ago with the subject line 'invoice' and I go to type 'invoice' in the mail search box, it comes up with 0 results. Nothing. I know there are probably 30 emails in my mailbox that include that word and nothing comes up. The only thing that does come up is if I search for people, and even then it doesn't come up with everyone, maybe just people in my address book, so if a new email came in from someone and i search their name, that doesn't come up, but if I search my mom's email name, that comes up fine.
This is incredibly annoying and makes no sense why this would just start happening. I have a lot of emails in my inbox and need to search often for old ones. And strangly, the search function works on my phone and seems to work when I connect remotely (my main email I use is icloud).
I have looked at other similar threads and tried using Onyx to reindex my email and spotlight. Didn't help. I tried removing the search box, also nothing.
Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone have a solution? I'm going a little crazy trying to figure this out and wondering why certain things like reindexing seems to work for some but not me.
Thanks for all the help!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Archive folder missing from Mail & search not working

I've been having trouble getting the Archive mailbox to appear in Mail. What's worse, often the search function is broken, and Mail doesn't turn up any search results. I've found some ways to get the Archive folder to reappear, but these only seem to help temporarily. For instance, clicking on the gear at the bottom left and selecting "Get Account Info" then selecting the Archive folder causes it to reappear, but this is only temporary and it disappears after another restart or sometimes after an hour or two. The search not working is the worst, as it sometimes is working and sometimes isn't. I don't have any idea what's causing this, but I am at my wit's end because I NEED Mail to be firing on all cylinders.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
What are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for this Gmail account, if using IMAP, regarding keeping message for Offline use? The Mail search can only access the list of messages to search Subject, From, etc, but not the entire message unless copies of all messages are being kept on the computer. This would be true for any IMAP account, btw.
More info, please.

Mail search not working properly

Just upgraded to ML and the search function in mail just isn't working properly, I didn't think the Lion mail search was great but this one seems 10 times worse. If I search for words contained within a message, the results only show messages from the last couple of months even though I know there's dozens of messages containing the same word from the last couple years.
I tried repairing permissions and rebooting. Still same issue.
If I manually open an old message, and then perform a search, that particualar message will get included in the results, but I can't open thousands of emails just for the search to index them.

You should try rebuilding your Spotlight index, as that's what Mail uses.
Go to Spotlight preferences, and drag your boot drive (probably called "Macintosh HD") into the privacy pane. Say OK to the warning. Then after about 10 seconds, remove it. The whole drive will be re-indexed (this will take a couple hours) and then search should work again.

Mail search not working + Spotlight keeps indexing

I have an old problem that has resurfaced after creating a new user on my Mac. Mail search brings no results and Spotlight is constantly indexing - day in, day out. It never seems to get there. I tried turning my hard drive to private in Spotlight settings and then taking it out. Previously Spotlight seemed to get bogged down with external drives now it's stuck indexing my Mac.
Any advice? Is there a way I get unstick this?

I can't believe that Apple have STILL not sorted this out. I haven't created a new user (so it's nothing to do with that), but Mail.app won't find anything when searching "Entire Message" in the current Mailbox or in "All Mailboxes". This has been ongoing since Leopard was first released, and we are now up to 10.5.8 without this being fixed.

Can I install the online version rather than using my dvd? it successfully installed (up to a point) that way, it just wont accept my serial number for some reason. my dvd isnt working properly.

If it gets far enough to reject your serial number, it won't help to download it. It must have installed ok.
What is the message you get (DON'T tell us the serial number!!)?
Does it mention a "qualifying product" by any chance?
