Nokia Maps - Postcode search is no longer working

Please help!
The is a post on the navigation and GPS section but I wanted to see if anyone on the main forum has experienced the problem, because we cannot find a solution.
Up until the last few days whilst online when I searched for a post code on Nokia Maps the result was the full post code location. When I did the same search offline the result was truncated. ie bp11 4re became bp11 4.
This is pretty useless in trying to locate anything using a post code.
Today I noticed that whether I was online or not, the post code search always produced the shortened result.
I have now searched on line and found nothing save for the post mentioned above. I have performed a hard reset and have the latest firmware for my phone (v12) I also have the latest version of maps v1.2.
Please can someone shed some light on why this search facility has changed. Could it be something to do with the Nokia Server?

A late reply but in case somebody is looking:
/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Nokia-Maps-Pos​tcode-search-is-no-longer-working/td-p/244168
The last one suggests that a full postcode search needs an internet connection.
This lead to a solution!
In Maps, under Settings / General / Connection you have a choice of Online or Offline. If you have Offline then the search is limited as described, with the last two postcode characters ignored. If you have Online selected, then it works properly.
So even though Nokia Maps are offline maps, the full postcode search is done on their server.

    Have you tried going to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy and dragging your hard drive into the box then drag it back. That will trigger a re-index.

  • DVR Search Option No Longer Works - After The Crap Upgrade

    The new software upgrade is crap. DVR search option no longer works. I can't use the search option to find my favorite programs and set the DVR to record them. It only lets me put the first letter in the search field and then nothing. I can't enter any more letters aftet that.
    Verizon sent me another DVR but it has same issues. They sent a technician to my house and he basically told me, the upgrade is crap and lots of people are having technical issues.
    He gave me another box and said it is working. Now I have three DVRs sitting in my house and I have to return two. After he left I tried to search and I have the same exact issue so basically he just lied and didn't fix anything.
    I called tech support over and over, and they just told me that they can't do anything. They basicaly admitted that the upgrade is crap and the are clueless on how to fix it. So I'm stock with 3 DVRs that don't work. Billing department told me they can't give me any discounts either.
    Anyone else is having these issues?

    Same issue here.  Sent me another box, same model as the old one.  Same exact issues.  Called Tech support back, they admitted it was a known issue, and nothing he could do about it.  Was told I had to talk to someone in SALES to get them to send me a newer box.
    New box is here, and now i have no option to record.  Oh, and last time I called tech support... I got 'disconnected' (after being on hold for 30+ minutes).  They are really dropping the ball, and I will not be renewing.

  • Does Nokia Maps need to be online to work sometime...

    Hi all,
    I am very confused about the use of the free Nokia Maps applications. I have an N97 mini, and I was using the maps application throughout Egypt last week.
    I had the settings placed "offline", and the application would open and would work fine, but whenever I did a search for a place, most times it would not find the place. Even common street names or popular tourist sites, could not be found offline. I then changed the settings to "online", and when I would do the same searches, it now would fine the places and streets.
    However, when I checked my mobile phone provider account, using the "online" mode was using up all my phone credit. 
    So I am confused about whether I must be online to use the Nokia Maps application to find places, or should it work offline. What is the difference? And why does Nokia tell us its free, if in fact it uses up my phone account's data to find places that should already be in the maps application?
    So I have 3 main questions I am unsure about:
    1. Do i need to be online to search for some places, as it seems that offline it does not find all places?
    2. If I am online, should it be charging me, or should it still be free?
    3. When I update the maps, as I did, should that not include all the places on the maps that I find in online mode? Or are some places only found if I an online?
    I must say we had so many problems using the maps application throughout Egypt- I do not recommend it to anyone for this place. It got us lost so many times, and once we ended up in some isolated poverty stricken town near the Pyramids of Sakkara- it was hell getting back! And it only worked when I went into online mode, and used up all my phone credit.

  • I recently downloaded 6.1.2 and am regretting it...for one reason...the search function no longer works correctly. !!

    I personally and professionally rely on text messaging extensively. Since upgrade, the search function doesn't work correctly. It only returns partial results. This has never happened with previous upgrades.  All the old texts are there but it does not search the entire history.  If i compose new text and duplicate the recipients from an old text, it will bring up string...just cant search for it.  PLEASE HELP SOMEONE.

    I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
    The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
    That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
    You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.

  • Search function no longer works when Mail folder is encrypted

    I posted a reply in another forum that has already been marked as answered...BUT I was not satisfied with the answer...Here is the link to that forum for some context:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6362207&#6362207
    And here is basically what I posted there:
    This problem is a result of my attempt to put my User/Library/Mail folder onto an encrypted disk image, so that my mail images would be encrypted without having to encrypt my WHOLE Account with FileVault (rendering Time Machine virtually useless). Like many, I had to create a symbolic link from the terminal rather than use the Alias...that wasn't a problem. I can send/receive/read/write email all while it stays safely encrypted on the Sparse disk image that I created (by the way THANKYOU for making creating the sparse BUNDLE image an option, this makes it useable for time machine so it doesn't back up the whole thing)...Mail appeared to work perfectly with my folder in the new location
    HOWEVER...I quickly discovered that the search tool in the upper right hand corner of the Mail View no longer works...It will allow me to search the "from", "to" and "subject" lines like any old mail program would, BUT the "Entire Message" option returns on results. There must be something special about the Library folder in my Home folder, because I haven't restricted my spotlight settings. In fact with the disk mounted, I even re-indexed my WHOLE computer just to see what would happen. Spotlight is able to search for FILE names on my encrypted disk, but the search "Entire Message" still doesn't work...are there any solutions? I've spent a great deal of time searching the internet for a solution to no avail. I feel like this question requires a real mac genius, but there are other people throughout other forums posting the same question with no answer. I'm no genius, but I'm not afraid of using Terminal if I'm told the basic gist of what should be typed there. I would love to see his answered fully. Thanks!

    Ahhh! The proverbial missing information. Thanks for clarifying. Apple always has plans to fix problems, but their timetable might not meet your expectations. I strongly suggest that you report this to Apple. Send Feedback and send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • Finder's 'Search Contents' no longer working

    I used to be able to use this to search for keywords in text files. Not the file-name, but the actual contents within the text file. It's no longer working. I'm wondering if perhaps FileVault is the problem? Can anyone else cross-verify this, or suggest possible solutions?

    OS Lucinity wrote:
    Also, .as files are actionscript docs.
    Unfortunately extensions alone are not always unique file type identifiers, especially short ones that may have had origins in the "dot plus three" restrictions of DOS. OS X uses multiple criteria to make a 'best guess' at the file type, including filename extensions, Finder info, & even OS 9 style type & creator codes if present. It compares this info to type identifiers in application bundles registered with launch services (which determines which if any apps appear in the "Open with" Finder contextual menu popup & the choices in the "Get Info" window).
    Thus, what Finder shows for "Kind" can vary depending on the applications installed & the metadata associated with the file at the time of creation or re-saving it.
    Also, some apps include mdimporters in their bundles or installers. It may be that the mdimporter of the 'parent' app of the actionscript docs (if included) isn't playing well with the latest Leopard update, or that the file type isn't being recognized by launch services properly. (This is a simplification of a complex topic that frankly I do not completely understand as well as I would like.)
    Anyway, it may be that an update to the app, reinstalling it, or rebuilding the launch services database may cause the contents of these files to be indexed again without need of a third party importer. Or, the third party importer may be a simpler or more effective solution for you.
    I wish I could be more definite about this, but perhaps someone else with a better grasp of the topic can suggest the best way to go.

  • Search Option No Longer Working

    We discovered today that the Search function is not working
    for a compiled Help build. The Search feature worked on builds done
    in the past (I tested this with a completed CHM Build done 6/2007),
    but no longer is functioning on builds completed today. Any search
    returns a "No topics found" result.
    I see that others have experienced this same issue recently.
    We have the TC Suite, recently updated to include Acrobat 9.
    So far, this TC Suite has been nothing but a headache for us
    here in my company (but that's another story entirely).

  • Search function no longer works after upgrading to 10.5.6

    After upgrading to 10.5.6 I noticed that the search command no longer finds anything on my connected AFP Server (OS X Server 10.3. 9). When I start a search in the finder, even though I can see the item on the screen it gives a result of zero. Is any one else out there experiencing this issue. Is there a workaround?

  • Is the search feature no longer working?

    I have been trying to search the KBase for answers to posters questions but no matter what text I type in I simply get sent to a page that asks me to select a country, when I do it simply takes me to the main forum page. The same thing happens on the main forum page also. No matter what you do it won't work. If you are in a specific forum and use the search feature it will work within that forum but I cannot get it to work using the advanced search or on a search for a particular Kbase article. Even some of the links to kbase articles that I had return me with the same error. In fact, all of them do.
    It seems a shame that all that knowledge is going to waste!!
    Is there any idea what is happening and a timetable as to when it will be operational again?

    Hi Al --
    I've experienced this, too. I don't know the cause, but a work-around is, when you get that "select a country page," simply hit the "back" button on your browser so that you're once again on the search page and then hit the search button again.
    It's worked for me in the past and I just tried it again just now to make sure and it still works.

  • The clear history in the google search box no longer works

    I'm using firefox 3.6.16. Suddenly the clear history link on the google search bar is not working. I can clearch history under tools but not within the search bar ,I don't know how to correct the problem. Can someone tell me what to do?

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Also, I think the Ask toolbar (add-on) has been reported to create problems with the links in Google search results. You could try disabling it here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    A search also turned up an issue with the HTTPS Everywhere add-on: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/867796 Google links redirect to Google homepage, not the link itself! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • Search functionality no longer works in any of my recently generated HTML Help projects

    I'm using Rh 10.0.1.292 and Rh 11.0.4.291 for different projects.
    Recently, I've noticed that the Search feature returns no results, in any of my projects that are generated in either Rh10 or 11. I just get the "No topics found" message. This used to work.
    The only thing that has been done recently (that I can think of) involved working with .slp files to fix an issue with the Glossary tab and the Search functionality in a Rh 11 Responsive HTML5 layout. (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1690579) I can't, however, see how that would break the Search functionality in my HTML projects.
    Any ideas?

    In either Rh 10 and 11, whenever I generated a project as HTML Help (even an example project) the Search functionality was broken. Finally, when I couldn't think of what else to try, I uninstalled and reinstalled Rh 10, and that solved my problem--in both Rh 10 and 11!
    Apparently some file was corrupted, but I don't know what was broken or what caused the corruption. I am still trying to get some clarification from Adobe, but so far, I have only received the following comments:
    The robohelp cache folder and the preferences might have caused this.
    The problem can be either with the updates on system.
    If I should receive any definitive information, I will update this post.
    Thanks.
