N73 doesn't search Contacts correctly

I've sync'd my new N73 with Outlook (XP) using PC Suite 6.80.21. All my contacts are loaded ok but when I try to search alphabetically the N73 picks up all contacts *containing* the letter(s) I key in rather than all contacts *starting with* the letter(s) I key in. This gives a very confusing search result.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix?

Just started a new topic about this before I saw this thread. I really think this is a problem. The N73 is not a business phone, it's for personal use and I think most people know the names of the people they want to call. I can understand that for business use it could be helpful to search in various ways for contacts you may not know the name of, but for personal use if I want to phone home I think typing in 'Home' should be enough don't you? At the moment if I do this it will bring any other contact I have with home in it and I have to scroll through 10 numbers before getting to mine.
As with so many things it seems that the lower models make more sense! I can't see how this can be an improvement.
I would be really interested if anyone had managed to find a work around for this problem.

Adress book doesn't search contacts

Three times I tryed to recover Lion 10.7.2 /cmd/R/ to resolve problem in my contacts _address book. In search field when I typing letter to find the name , Address book doesnt react. Double click on name only extra pop up window is open ,on opposite site nothing is change. Address book showing former contact without any change. What I have to do?to resolve this problem.

HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!
I recentally upgraded to Lion last month. I am having problems with address book since i uploaded new addresses in just yesterday. All of the sudden I cannot view individual addresses when I click once on them. It always just shows the first address I have in the book. This is extremely upsetting and I cannot figure out how to scroll through them.
Also when I do a search on a name, nothing comes up.
It is frustrated when there is no support and I can't figure this out on my own. All I have figured out is to try to update Address book but it is already updated. Am I missing something?
WILL TRY WHAT YOU SUGGEST THOUGH....

NOKIA E51 - Is it possible to search contacts in a...

I have a new Nokia E51, very great device, but I have to manage 2243 contacts (!). The (new) actual searching contacts way is just crazy for me: if I try to write the word john... the phone shows me hundreds of contacts with that part of word.
I'd like to know if there is a way to set the phone so to search contacts using names in the usual alphabetical order: just writing the first letter, than the second ,the third, and so on?
Somebody on this forum suggested to use Text-Quick (http://mind-flip.com/textquick/index.html) but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in that way, but just keeping memory of more searched contacts.
It is really really annoying the way it searches.
Help please!
Somebody else on this forum said It is a bit counter intuitive at first, but once you get used to it the wider search is actually much better than the first name search (particularly if your memory for names isn't too great) but what you can do if you have thousands of contacts?
There will be soon an alternative option in the contacts settings for next E51 firmware?
Thank you

You wanna know the weirdest thing...
In my E51 it DOESN'T search for any string even in the middle.. it only searches alphabetically on the first name or the last name. But not something in the middle.
HOWEVER, other applications that show the contact list, such as Fring, *DO* search on any in-between string.
So apparently the phone can do both.. I don't see it as a setting though.
As a personal preference I think I would prefer being able to search for any in-between string.. I mean to me it just seems like a natural transition from the old days when contact names were in SIM memory and you only had like 8 characters to enter someone so you ended up with loads of "John K", "JLee" and other cryptic but short names.
These days I would recommend that if your contact is called "John Samolowicz" to actually spell that out in the appropriate fields. Then you find someone instantly by searching for something more unique than his first name...
AND/OR use the 'Groups' feature: If you put people in groups then simply moving to the tab to the right from the contacts list would give you a much reduced list of people in a particular group; Don't tell me that you actually CALL 2000 people on a regular basis..
To search middle string, use the SEARCH from OFFICE Folder. You can find on the Contact part of search result.

Does your phone show the correct time?
If not, change the time on your phone, see if it helps.
If it does, then sign out, sign back in. If that fails, the delete and reinstall. If that fails, then contact Facebook, as they're the developers of the app and will have the proper documentation to help you further.

How to fix spotlight doesn't search movies,places or bing web search?

spotlight doesn't search movies or anything bing web search, it only search file on my mac in yosemite. How can i fix this???

Hello arnoota,
for me Spotlight's content search works for docx, too. Are the info in your signature correct? If so you should install the 10.5.4 update of Leopard! At least for 10.5.3 some changes concerning Spotlight are documented by Apple, so probably this issue got fixed as well with one of these two updates.

Spotlight/Finder Doesn't Search In ASP and other file types?

.asp and .c file types are nothing more than .txt files with different extentions..
Am I correct in thinking that Spotlight doesn't search inside these files? I have a folder full of asp files and spotlight doesn't seem to find anything when I type text that I know is inside one (as a test)
It does appear to search INSIDE .html files in the same folder.. Can you add different file extentions that spotlight will search into?
If not, then "Spotlight" is much ado about nothing as google desktop search, X1 and the msn desktop search (Windows) released years ago search inside ALL files..

Spotlight makes a content index for files using mdimporter, and that process depends on mdimporter modules for the specific file type. Thus in /Library/Spotlight you will see a collection, such as Microsoft Office.mdimporter, of "extras" for special file types. There are also the built-in ones in /System/Library/Spotlight. If you installed Xcode/Developer Tools, there should be a SourceCode.mdimporter, which I imagine would index the asp and c files. If not, some people have modified it to also index php files, see this discussion:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050514182520714&query=spotlight%2 Bphp%2Bfiles
at MacOSXHints. I think you could do something similar (at your own risk of course) for other pure text based files. Be sure to expand the the replies and read them.

Search Contacts & Directory fails

End users using OWA on Exchange 2013 CU5. Doesn't matter what browser or any other client-side information. I can give myself delegate access to various mailboxes and come up with the same error.
They compose a new message. Type the name in the To.. field and the application pops the drop-down with the magnifying glass that reads "Search Contacts & Directory". When you click, it states in the same box "Can't connect. Please
try again later."
Troubleshooting steps, thus far:
Recycle OWA Application Pools.
Recycle ECP Application Pools.
Recycle OAB Application Pools (yes, I know, this is for Outlook only).
Restart all CAS servers.
Nothing works. Has anyone else seen this and found a fix for it? It has to be something simple that I am missing.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify if the email address you search can be listed in Default Global Address List.
Open EAC -> organization -> address lists -> Default Global Address List

Spotlight stops searching contacts

Hi, this one is a 'baffler' - new state of puzzlement.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion spotlight would occasionally stop searching my contacts, the artist previously known as Address Book. The Spotlight preference box for Contacts is ticked, and the Privacy tab does not have anything listed. Occasionally it would start searching Contact again after a re boot, but this is a mac and shouldn't need that. Now even that doesn't work, I can't get spotlight to search contacts at all. I have also added my HD to privacy, then removed it off forcing it to re index everything, which takes a while. It would work after that then stop after a few days.
I am normally not alone if ever I have a problem and find helpful solutions in forums etc. But alas, I seem to be on my lonesome on this cold dark night.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

I am on OS 10.8.2, All Latest Updates, MacBook Pro 17', SSD all maxed out.
I don't remember having this issue prior to OS 10.8.2, to which I Upgraded from 10.7.4.
I did not try Deleting any Files or Folder to fix this yet!
I did recently Signed Out and back Into iCloud while on call with AppleCare.
This issue of - Spotlight Stops Searching Contacts - comes and goes!
This issue existed before and after my Sign Out and Into iCloud!!!
Below is the Log of my Latest Research:
Thursday, November 15, 2012
Re-indexed Spotlight on my MacBook Pro by Dragging my Macintosh HD in and out of Privacy Tab in Spotlight!
54 minutes remaining at halfway point. Looks like it could be a two hour project!
That took 1hr 9min on my SSD!!!
Problem still exists
Time Machine Backup ran during Re-Indexing, but I decided to let it do its thing!
Unchecked Contacts in Spotlight
Restarted
Checked Contacts in Spotlight
Problem still exists - even if it worked for the l1nu5r post on Apple Discussions below
Saturday, November 17, 2012
After 2 SuperDuper Clone Backups + Time Machine Backup - All Contacts can be Searched in Spotlight!!!! The Issue Fixed itself - All Contacts could be Searched in Spotlight, but... That "success" lasted only for a day:)!
Sunday, November 18, 2012
After my SuperDuper Clone Backup, Contacts could not be found, even after UnMounted External HDs, turned them off and Restarted, and Shut Down my Mac twice!
I Edit a Contact and that Contact showed up in Spotlight, but only that Contact
I did a Safe Boot - Nothing in Spotlight was available except Web and Wikipedia
I Shut Down for 2 min and Restarted. Spotlight did some more Indexing for about 1 minute!
That Edited Contact showed up in Spotlight, but only that Contact
My Best Guess:
This issue appears to be related to iCloud!
I hope Apple is reading this and all our posts!
Apple is welcome to call me...
I will be calling AppleCare soon!
I hope All Our Dots Will Connect, so that this Issue is fixed!!!
Stay tuned!

Search contacts: Google App is a teaser. Any other that works?

I'm searching for a way to search Contacts beyond first and last name. Google App had a teaser that it would search contacts, but indeed it is untrue and doesn't search any fields other than first and last name, just like the 2.0 software update.
Anyone finding another app that performs better? I need to be able to search all fields, especially the notes field, but heck! I'm willing to take any incremental improvement at this point.
Thanks.

I am now seeing this same IP address resolution problem slowly (but surely) populate into other browsers (firefox and internet explorer) in windows. The only way I can rationalize this is there is some kind of address resolution problem with one (or more) of ICANN's DNS servers.

K9N Platinum doesn't read SPD correctly

K9N Platinum doesn't read SPD correctly. When i put any RAM to my computer and set timings to auto it always set timing to 5-6-5-15 ignoring SPD on RAM/RAMs.
Is it only my board problem? or all K9N Platinums?
I have 601-7250-020....
i use 1.5 bios,and i am going to update to 1.6 today.

Yes you are right: http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/products/specs/TWIN2X2048-5400C4.pdf
However, MSI could change something in the BIOS to make your memory work properly.
As the Jdec standard is Intel system testing only (if I'm not mistaken) it could well be that the AMD CPU can't work with those values, so it ups them a little.
Don't forget, Intel uses "CPU -> Chipset -> Memory", but AMD uses "CPU -> Memory"
The only one that can answer this is Corsair, so I suggest you ask them why the SPD is different on AMD's.
They know that, we don't.
But it's not strange that AMD's have higher timings.
In any case, it has nothing to do with the board, as the AMD's have an in-CPU memory controller! Intels do not have this.

Doesn't Search SWF and Magnify Tool doesn't work

I got the PDF to SWF thing down pat in Flashpaper. But It
doesn't search the text.
YES, the text is selectable, so why can't it search the text
of my swf. Also the Maginfying tool doesn't work in flashpaper.
I'm going to test a couple different things first such as
messing with the PDF in Acrobat Pro first to see if I need to do
something there in order to make the search function work.
I did notice there are barely any replies to this forum, but
GEE-WIZ guys somebody should answer some of these questions if you
know the answer.
Yes some people are vague, and others are so new to this
world, they shouldn't be doing web design at all and asking
questions on a board. anyhow. please help.
If I find the answer I'll post it here.

I went back and checked out the Indesign file. Apparently
whoever made the catalog grouped alot of the text boxes. After I
ungrouped these I exported to PDF and opened it up to do a check.
Everything was searchable. There was something I toyed with in
Indesign referring to subfonts. However, when I convert it to an
swf using flashpaper it loses some of the searchable text. I got an
idea and printed to FP but instead of choosing FP once the window
came up I selected PDF. It is doing the same thing in the same
spots. Everything is selectable right now in the PDF I printed from
Indesign, I can even copy and paste the text perfectly into word.
There are no settings for FP so I am lost as to what to do from
here. I am using Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Indesign CS2 and FP 2
Any ideas?

Calendar Third Sunday of February doesn't show the correct day in all years

Calendar Third Sunday of February doesn't show the correct day in all years?
The day of month repeats the same day as saturday.
Example: February 20 2010= Saturday. Sunday shows 20 and not 21.
February 19 2010= Saturday. Sunday shows 19 and not 20...
I'm in Brasil, where DST begins exactly on the third sunday of February (coincidence?)...But the problem persists even if I deactivate the hour fuse control !

Yes, it's a DST issue. I've had this problem before at both ends of DST.

E71 how to search contact by phone number

Hi All,
any idea for E71 how to search contact by phone number? sometimes it will be useful if i can just type in the phone number and it show me the contact name
Thanks

There is no way to do that directly from Home Screen, however you can always get in the "Search: Internet and My Content" application, choose contacts and start to type phone number. You will get what you want.
Enjoy!

Keyboard doesn´t use the correct symbols

Using the shift key doesn´t produce the ´correct´ symbol. For example, SHIFT + 2 produces " rather than @. (To type this I had to type it out in word first, where the shift key does work normally, and copy and past in this Details box. From left to right on the keyboard, these are the symbols I get with the shift key
§"#$%&_()'?
As you can imagine this makes it very difficult and irritating to work in firefox.
Hopefully you have a solution for this.
Thanks, Jane

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident by using the key sequence to rotate the keyboard layout.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
* The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that is used in Firefox for menu items, so it is possible to change the layout accidentally.
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)

Spotlight doesn't search Stickies

I've just realised today that Spotlight can't find entries in Stickies. I have all boxes ticked in Spotlight so you'd think that Stickies being an Apple app, that it would also search in Stickies. I keep my software up-to-date, so it's not that.
I have snother notes application called PadsX - and Spotlight doesn't search that either.
Any suggestions anyone on how to make Spotlight more efficient?
