OD settings: "maximum search results" guidance needed

Hello OD users -
I can't seem to find any guidelines as to what settings I should be using for the field "Return a maximum of ___ search results" or the "Search timeout" field after that in Open Directory protocol settings.
I think the default is to leave it wide open- 11000 results timing out in 1 hour. Apple's documentation says you can change that to prevent one type of denial-of-service attack, but they don't give any suggestions as to what settings to use. We only have about 170 OD users set up, but I'm not sure how many LDAP records would be needed in a search, or what a reasonable timeout period would be.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
Before responding to your points I want to give a little more context:
We have an intranet based on pure html and a little aspx containing many of those pdf- files. By clicking on the links in the intranet the files open correctly in browser handled by the adobe plugin. Now we set up this search server crawling the file system
accessed through a share to the root folder of the intranet. In the search server settings a host mapping rule is applied to replace the file://[share] with http://[intranet host+domain+port] to access files over http.
And now to answer your question. The resulting urls are the same, copying the link from intranet and copying the link from the search result (except some case issues).
The event viewer not seem to show any errors on this, though I'm not very familiar using it.
If any further information are from interest and any ideas come to your mind - please let me know.
Thanks.

  • Search results sorting

    hello ,
    I would like to have a custom control that sort search results  ( A to Z or Z to A ), so , i created a dropdownlist with two entry : A-Z  et Z-A.
    When user click A-Z , i would like that search results display in the right alphabetic order from A to Z.
    How to accomplish my goal step by step ? 
    Thanks.

    Hi Piing,
    To sort the search results, you need to define the results to sort by which managed property.
    As each result has many managed properties, I recommend to use Title managed property to sort the results.
    If that is the case, then we need to write the sort dropdown like this:
    [{"name":"A-Z","sorts":[{"p":"Title","d":0}]},{"name":"Z-A","sorts":[{"p":"Title","d":1}]}].
    After that, we need to edit the search results page and then edit the Search Results web part, then expand Settings and check Show sort dropdown. After that paste the above JSON inside the box and save the changes back to SharePoint.
    You can refer to the link below for details about how to write the JSON inside the sort dropdown:

  • Google search results won't open in a new window

    I like to have Google search results open in a new tab and, until recently, using Google's settings allowed me to do that. But now if I click a lik in search results, it opens the page in the same window. In other words, FF "refuses" to obey Google's preferences.

    Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
    "Open search results in a new browser window"
    I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
    In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
    Does it make any difference?

  • Is Quick View (preview of file contents under search results) supported in SharePoint 2013 Foundation?

    We recently deployed SharePoint 2013 Foundation but can't make Quick View (seeing the contents of a file when you hover the mouse cursor over it) work in the search results.
    All Site Collection/Site Features are turned on.  Not sure what else to do.
    Does anyone have this feature working in SharePoint 2013 Foundation?
    Thank you!

    Hi Charlie,
    To view the Preview of the Search Results you need to Install/Configure Office Web Apps Server in your farm.
    Please check the below links for reference.

  • Podcast feed keywords and itunes search results

      my feed is http://jimlockwoodshow.libsyn.com/rss I have a list of 12 keywords in the feed. One keyword is Limbaugh. but, my podcast doesn’t come up as any of the results when searching under Limbaugh. none of my keywords work.                                     

    Hi Jim,
    Per Rogers comments above - when I checked your account there were no keywords entered for the Show (Channel) Level and Episode (Item) Level keywords.
    To enter in the Keywords for the show level - when you log into your libsyn account - click on the gears icon next to your artwork in the upper left.  Then enter your keywords / tags and click save.
    For Keywords for your episodes - you will need to go click Edit for each episode in the episode list and one episode at a time add in the keywords.
    If you put yourself into the "Advanced" editing mode - and then go to "Description" you will see the place for editing the keywords near the lower right.  Click on "Tags / Keyword" and enter you keywords in the box below and then click on Publish when you are done.
    Please note it may take up to a week for the changes to be reflected in search results in iTunes.  And even then search results are sorted based on the all time number of subscribers your show has in iTunes. 
    So to better place yourself in the search results you need to increase the number of subscribers you have via iTunes. 
    Good Luck,

  • InterMedia Text Search results

    We have interMedia Text enabled on our 3.0.9.8.2 install and, for Search Results, I need to understand how the percentage score is calculated and, if results have the same score, how the order is determined. Is it possible to reorder the results because it appears to be random? Can anyone point me to the relevant documentation?

    So Stephen, if I understand correctly, you have URL items, where the URL references the content in the IFS repository. This means that these items are being indexed by the WWSBR_URL_CTX_INDX. It'd be interesting to see if the results are returned as you would expect them to be using this index alone. This will tell you if there is a problem with Intermedia Text or if the problem lies with the way that Portal is using Intermedia Text and combining the scores from the multiple indexes.
    Try running a SQL query like
    select i.title, score(10) scr from wwv_things i, wwsbr_url$ u
    where i.id=u.object_id
    and contains (u.absolute_url,'${oracle}',10) > 0
    order by scr desc
    This will match your search term against only text which was indexed by the URL index and returns the display name of the corresponding item. Here I've searched for the term 'oracle'; change this to whatever you were using in your testcase. Note also that the $ implies the stem operator which is used by default in Portal.
    If this query doesn't return you the scores that you were expecting then the problem is to do with the way that Intermedia Text is indexing your PDF documents. If it does return what you'd expect then we need to look more closely at what Portal is doing with the scores.

  • Need to create link to Word Doc in blob column in search results report

    I got the Oracle Text boolean search of word documents in a blob column of a table working.
    Now I need to be able to create a link in the results report.
    I know that Oracle creates a link for each document in the column when you attach a file, I just need to know what the link should be to allow users to open the document in the search results report.
    Right now the application is set to do a search in the attached word documents, and in the results window it shows the names of the people who match the search, but it won't allow me to create a link to their resume in the results report.
    the name of the table is CONTRACTOR_LIST and the blob column is RESUME.
    How would you go about creating a simple link to the word file in the results window?
    Here is the code for the query
    select score(1) relevance, Name, Resume
    from contractor_list
    where CONTAINS (resume, :P1_SEARCH, 1) > 0
    order by 1 desc
    That works, but I can't get it to link to the resume file.
    Here is the code I'm using for the link
    javascript:popupURL("#RESUMEL#")
    This just give me an error page and the the link is
    http://server-namer:8080/apex/[datatype]
    the error is
    Bad Request
    The HTTP client sent a request that this server could not understand.
    Thanks again!

    It is within the table I believe (I'm not a DBA or a developer) since I created a BLOB column and then used the file browse feature to allow users to attach a resume to the table in order to be able to perform a search of the attached documents.
    I'm just having a hard time pointing the link in the search results report to the document in the blob column.
    The information on that page is great if you're trying to create a link to the document on the initial report.
    But I created a query using Oracle Text to run a report that does a boolean search of the attached word documents in the table.
    When it displays the search results, it doesn't create a link to the document and I can't figure out how to do it.
    Here's a link the the instructions I used to create the initial search report with Oracle Text, mind you I only created the index and query, I didn't add in all the link data since they're using documents on websites and I'm using documents in a table.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_text_application_v1.6.pdf
    If you can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks again.

  • What setting do I need to change to have a search result file (pdf. or whatever) open instead of automatically download?

    Firefox downloads files automatically when opening a opening a search result. What setting do I need to change to have the search result file (pdf. or whatever) open instead? Something changed yesterday and I lost the ability to open the files vs. download.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == July 7, 2010

    Hello,
    Normally, when I use my online account, when i select a document to open with excel or with adobe, the applicaiton installed on the PC, is used to open the files.
    Can you check the under control panel, default programs, and see what program  is associated to the PDF files?
    When you try to open one of those pdf files from your back, what happens?
    If you download them to the HDD, are they automatically associated to ADOBE?
    Thanks,

    After you run it, open the 'All Programs'/system menu. There should be an item under the 'JavaHelp System' menu for the 'JavaHelp System JavaDocs'. That link is to launch the application again. [Java Web Start|http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_webstart.xml] *(<- link)* is what installs the menus. JWS can also install menus specifically for application help.
    Older applications declared the required menu items and desktop shortcut in the JNLP launch file, but JRE 1.6.0_18+ offers the IntegrationService *(<- link)* to applications, and provides feedback on success/failure. Note that some systems will ignore requests for desktop integration. Ubuntu Linux will allow for the creation of desktop shortcuts, but silently ignore requests for menu items.

    Question
    I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, I visited some website and then I want to return to my search results and pick another search result. And there is a problem: I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE) that would help me to distinguish visited and not visited sites.

  • Pointers needed to enhace BP Search Result

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where i need to bring an extra field  STATUS in to the BP Search result list. I did a bit of investigation on this and found out the class that is getting triggered is CL_BUPA_IL_SEARCH_SERVICE and the method search_by_bp_general. The control is coming to this method but i didnt find a BADI where i can write the logic for populating the additional result list attribute. I have looked into the BADI_CRM_BUPA_IL_SEARCH_EXT but the control is not coming here. Any pointers on this will be of great help.

  • Need Adds on to highlight or select several(next) pages in search result on current page?

    Need Adds on to highlight or select several(next) pages in search result on current page?

    Do you mean this: you would select a bunch of links with your mouse, then right-click and choose something like "open all these links in new tabs"?
    There are extensions like that. Here are a few examples, but since I don't use them myself, I don't recommend any particular one. You can check the reviews and try the one(s) that sounds good to you:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/multi-links/ Multi Links]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/selection-links/ Selection Links]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/SnapLinksPlus/ Snap Links Plus]
    If you already have one of those but it stopped working, make sure you have the latest version. You can check for updates to your extensions here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > "gear" button > "Check for Updates"
