New search functionality in SDN

Hey everybody
Since past few days i m seeing a new feature in search functionality on SDN.
If i search for any specific term it sorts out the links as per the assigned points/answered questions.I m not really sure if thats the best option coz a lot of times the correct answer might be in the thread but the original poster didn't award points or forgot to close.
Anybody else feels the same way as i do?
Thanx
Aamir

I also noticed this a few days ago.
I thought the indexes were corrupted again and was waiting for it to go away.
I guess formally, in a perfect world, the sorted-by-points should be a usefull indicator, so we could learn to live with it (there were requests to "show" the thread status (but not necessarily sort it) as "answered" etc... which is a good thing as it gives more credit to the whole thread value and not (necessarily) an individual contribution to it.
Most of my best posts (in my opinion) have remained unrewarded.
But this new search sorting might also be helpfull for finding points-gamers when searching for easily searchable terms )
Where it bothers most is that the old search sorted by relevance of the thread title. This was very usefull when the thread ID was not known (yet).
Cheers,
Julius

  • Deleted emails found when using new search function in 3.0

    When I do a "search iPhone" I see a list that contains emails that were deleted, some as old as two months. These found emails do not exist in my Comcast account, and they were deleted from Trash. I thought I was not storing any emails on my iPhone, but I can actually call them up.
    How do I get rid of these "deleted" emails?
    I hope this hasn't been covered too much already, but I could not locate a thread.

    I too have done some search's today in the new search function and found deleted e-mails. I use bigpond for e-mails and they get sent to my phone. I then delete them from my phone and trash box and delete them from my e-mail. Using my computer and bigpond my e-mail account has 33 e-mails that I can find. Doing a search on my phone with this new sortware update I can find 870 e-mails which I believe date back to december last year when I got the phone. Some e-mails are VERY sensitive business wise and deleted as required at the time. But if a work person was to pick my phone up they could do a complete search of all my emails without the requirement of a password. If I let someone make a call on my phone, they can get to all the emails that have ever been through my phone within seconds if they choose. A patch or update is needed!!! This fault would hinder business from wanting to use Iphones.
    Is there a way to fix this? and how soon?

  • New search function on 5g

    i have a 5g 30gig and updated to itunes7 and v1.2 but don't seem to have the search function they show What's up any ideas?

    the Search function is already in firmware (I guess the firmware is the same for 'old' and for 'new' iPod Video) but is not available (blocked). The 'switch' is probably model number, i guess. Obviously, Apple narrowed the availability of Search function only to newer iPods to make them more attractive to buyers. Sooner or later someone will find the way how to patch firmware and unblock Search function

  • New search function limited?

    I upgraded to 3.0 last night and immediately tested my new OS's search function (the one I am most excited about). I put my haircut person's name in expecting to see a list of all my past and future appointments. Instead only my last one (in May) and my next on (a week from now) were listed.
    What is going on? Why is the list only the two closest to today on the Calendar shown?

    Yes, Spotlight does seem quite crippled, indeed. Quite a huge number of informations are not found. E.g. Notes: a lot of words is not found by Spotlight, not even if it's written right as first item of a note. Second, Contacts: No contents are found except of the names. Not even such essential pieces of informations like addresses, phone numbers or notes are returned. These issues make Spotlight almost worthless. So I stick with AB Search, which has no problem finding all these contacts info properly.
    On the other hand, Spotlight does return phantom results from mails that have been deleted long ago and do not exist any more neither on the phone nor on any server.
    Come on Apple, we expect that a highly praised search function does return essential results reliably!
    EDIT: And yes, I did send feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • How do I use the new search function for ipod?

    itunes 7.0 and ipod is up to date:
    when i scroll through the music, i get the nifty little grey box with the letter in it, but how do i get to the search where i use the click wheel to input a query and search through all items in my ipod?

    Unless your iPod is one of the recently announced upgraded 30GB or 80GB iPods, you don't have the search function. It was not added to existing devices in the recent update. It may or may not be added in some future software update but there's no official word on that.

  • New search function

    Ignore the title. My question was answered with some forum browsing.
    Apple, add the search feature to the old iPods. No ones going to spend another 370 canadian for it, and they can get the longer battery life for 20-40 bucks from a 3rd party.
    Also,
    -Bring back the old headphones
    -Add the ability to put a custom backround into the iPod.

    You can install the new firmware on the older 5G iPod, but it does not add the search feature.
    You'll get some other benefits, such as gapless playback and brightness control... but the search feature is specific to the Late 2006 model of the 5th Gen iPod.

  • Weird question about GNOME3 and its new search function

    Ok, it may sound a little strange and I fear for your answers but here is the question...
    Is there any way to make gnome3 not to search for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING when "typing to search" in the menu?
    I mean, for god's sake, I was testing all the menus and so on, and suddenly typed "3" and a pair of NSFW movies showed up in the screen. WTF????!!! xD
    Is there a way to stop it showing recently opened files? XDD
    I do not like this "feature"....

    You can remove recent documents by deleting this
    rm ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
    You can stop logging all recent documents by creating a folder there, i.e.,
    mkdir ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
    Some tutorials recommend making that folder un-modifiable, but I'm not sure it's necessary
    chattr +i ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

  • New 'search' function on video iPod?

    I noticed on a video ipod and nano that i used in an apple store yesterday that they have a nwe 'search' menu within 'music' which allows you to search your ipod on a keyword.
    but .. when i came home (ipod not on me!) mine does not have this, despite being up to date with the latest firmware, etc.. anyone know how i can get this mine?

    This feature is not available on the 60GB 5th gen iPod.
    You need a 'Late 2006' model 5th Gen iPod for the search feature.
    All 60GB 5th Gen iPods are not Late 2006 models.

  • New iPhone search function totally lame!

    I was really looking forward to the new "search" function in iPhone 2.0 update. It is totally lame. It will only look for first and last names. This was easy enough to find before. I need it to find phone numbers and information in my notes (just like the real address book search function does).
    Hopefully, some other company will make it work properly with a new App.
    Scott

    How about a search function that can search your calendar? What good is a "datebook" application if you have to remember where you entered a specific event? iPhone is the biggest disappointments ever. HUGE downgrade from my Treo. Glad they had all of the problems launching 2.0 (which should have been considered 1.0beta)- serves them right for being so arrogant about a less-than-ready product (again).

  • Where did the Forums Search function go???

    Hi All,

  • Adding new custom functionality on BBPAT05 transaction

    Hi all,
    I have searched the forum to figure out an answer, but since i could not find it, iam posting my query:
    We are on SRM 5.0.
    Our requirement is to add a new search functionality for one of user's custom org attribute 'Default Approver' in the BBPAT05 (Change my Settings) transaction.
    We need to add an input box, where the user can enter a pattern search word, and a search button. Upon clicking this he should get the list of users, from which he can pick and save it as his default approver. It gets saved in his org attributes.
    Currently, he only gets a list of users in  a drop down box in the Attributes screen from which he can pick, he cannot search for a user though.
    I figured out that none of the CUF BADI's get triggered from this transaction. So does it mean that we cannot add custom fields/screen on this transaction?
    Thanks a lot.
    Ramya,

    Hi,
    Find the link below  which has step by step process of adding custom fields:

    Hope this would be helpfull.

  • Search function lost in new itunes Store

    You used to be able to search podcasts and get lists that you could rank by popularity. The search function has been severely reduced in the newest itunes store.
    Now all you can get is thumbnails with no details.

    I'll echo this. Look up Classical Music, anything there is nigh impossible to find. Telling me that a song is "symphony no. 9 movem...." is useless. I don't care, I know that. What I want to see is the movement. But I can't. Or how about dance remixes? I know the name of the song, I'd like to be able to see the actual remix name.
    On top of that, you can't even choose what you want to view by. If I am searching for all the U2 songs, I don't need to see that the artist is U2. I'd much rather use that space for more productive things.
    I simply cannot understand who at Apple thought this was a "better" user interface. Sacrificing user operability for a "spiffy" new makeover is not what I would expect from Apple.

  • New itunes search function is terrible

    The new itunes search function is really terrible, as a dj and listener with over 250GB of mp3s I find the new system to be extremely frustrating. I want to be able to type in a tag and sort my music hierarchically and I am no longer able to do this.
    Sad.

    If you want to go back to iTunes 10 I am happy to show you the way.
    I am happy to regard myself an expert now on how to downgrade iTunes 11 back to 10. Having found a straight forward and logical way of doing so I thought it my duty to share with others. I can't express what a relief it is to have version 10 back again. See the method below. Let me know how you got on.
    You can jump to the method below but I feel I need to express my view on the experience I have had of using iTunes 11.
    I have been a mac obsessed devoted fan all my life (I'm 46), never used a PC and got my first mac back in 1988. Until just the past few months I wouldn't hear anyone say anything derogatory about anything apple. However a few things are rocking my 'religious like' devotion. Most of all I have been dumfunded about issues of the recent iTunes evolution in version 11.
    I am also obsessed with music, movies and music videos. It's not just a hobby - I am a DJ and Video DJ by proffesion. iTunes, since the very first release, has been the backbone to the way I organise and store all my digital media. I never had any need to seek an alterantive and have also enjoyed the intergration it provides with my iPhone and other things etc etc.
    My libary is huge. I don't mean to brag but aside from my digital music collection of 40,000 + tracks, either purchassed from the iTunes store or imported from my CD colection, my music video collection is over 10,000. I am a proffeciant iTunes user and I often have reason to need to retag my files within iTunes or sometimes I use MetaX.
    Until now I have never resisted installing any available apple updates and even feel some excitement in anticipation of improved features etc. iTunes version 11 has changed all that now. It is, without question, an inferior version to 10. Anyone who feels otherwize is probaly only using itunes in a basic way and for this reason I have always thought there was a market for a pro version of iTunes for people like me.
    iTunes 11 simply doesn't work. I click to play a track, click again cos it hasn't started and click another time and only then do I get to hear the track play for the start three times. It takes ages to build links to external files, just as long as it takes to actually import them to the media folder. Tagging takes rediculous long the point yu would need to leave the job to be done over night. I could go on but you are probably reading this because you have aleady experienced your own issues concerning version 11.
    Befoe following the method below, I tried to seek alternatives to iTunes all together. I briefly tried Double Twist and Song Bird amougst many other but it truth iTunes is better for my personal purposes.
    The most dispointing thing about version 11 is the silence from Apple about the obvious problems. It is this specific fact that has agrivated me so much. Maybe I am romanticising, bt I can't help imagine that SJ would have never let version 11 go as far as actually being released.
    Here are the Stages and Steps: For OS X only. (have no idea for PC users). Thank you to Bogoss on MacForums, whoever you are.
    Stage 1.
    Note: Any changes you have made to your music files since you used last used version 10 will be lost but any purchasses you have made in the time since can be downloaded again if you can't find those purchasses in your media folder. If recently made playlists are of particular importance you could export the lists to somewhere for later.
    1. Back up your iTunes Folder(s) just incase
    2. Download these apps 1. AppZapper from http://appzapper.com (the free version will do). 2. Pacifist fromhttp://www.charlessoft.com.
    3. Download iTunes 10.7 (last version before 11). Check your download folder, it might still be there. You can also get it from : http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/0...iTunes10.7.dmg
    4. Using AppZapper simply uninstall itunes 11. Before you drag the iTunes icon from the Application folder to the window you will need to open the preferences of AppZapper and deselect the tick next to "Keep Apple applications safe"
    5. Open the 10.7 dmg file, you will see the pkg file(usally you would double click it to install), but now, this time drag it out somewhere, eg desktop.
    6. Open Pacifist
    7 drag the pkg iTunes 10.7 file to pacifist and then click install from the menu bar
    8, during installation, click replace everytime a window pops up.
    9. installation finished, iTunes 10.7 is back!
    10. Don't open it yet!!!!
    Stage 2.
    See this video that explains the pocess here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXKZ2IBNsIA
    1. In FINDER - go to your iTunes Folder in the iTunes Folder.
    2. Within it, open the folder called Previous iTunes Libraries.
    3. Identify the most recent backup. It has the date at the end.
    4. Duplicate it. Move it to the desktop.
    5. Rename it as iTunes Library.itl. Basically remove the date from the file name.
    6. Go back to your iTunes Folder and rename the file there which is already named iTunes Library.itl to iTunes Library.itl.old.
    7. Now move the iTunes Library.itl file from your desktop to this location.
    8. Now open iTunes 10.7. If it can't find your iTunes library, select choose library and navigate the application to the new iTunes Library.itl file you created.
    9. Breath sigh of relief, you're done!
    10. Copy this and post it to help others. Only come back to me to say Thanks, not for more support.

  • How to auto create Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu on new pages

    Hi
    First off I want to say I have just started using Html DB, and think its a great product! I have been using it for a few months now to create an application, and find it flexible, powerful, but still fairly simple to use.
    When I create a new Application using "Based on Existing Tables", the pages that get created have some very nice Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu features generated automatically.
    I want to do the same when I add pages to an existing application. That is, I want new pages to automatically include those Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu features.
    I have tried various combinations of the existing wizards, but I have not been able to find any that generate all those features automatically. I know I can create pages using the page wizard, and then manually add the Report Search and Breadcrumb Menu. But that is very tedious. Nor can I find a better answer in the forum
    Any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Can you show the scripts and reports screenshort, so we can have a clerarl idea.

  • Search function on new ipod video

    I bought a new ipod video from america and it had the ood box, but the brightness control and the new battery on the actual ipod. But there is no search function on it.
    I have a friend who just received a new one back from apple with a brighter screen than the old one but without a search function or brightness control.
    Does anyone know whats going on?

    The search function is only on late 2006 model iPods.
    If it's a latest model, the serial number's last three digits will be one of the following: V9K, V9P, V9M, V9R, V9L, V9N, V9Q, V9S, WU9, WUA, WUB, and WUC.
