Pantone search not working in illustrator CS6

Hello everyone - this issue has been a problem for me in Illustrator CS6 for over a year now.
The Pantone Libray in Illustrator CS6 has a search box, but when I type in certain numbers (541 for example) it takes me to 7541. However, if I look around and manually pick the swatch by hovering (which takes forever and is ridiculous) I find it.
The 541 swatch is there but the search function doesn't work for many numbers. This is an incredible waste of time for me and after many updates and putting up with it for a year, I am at the end of my rope.
What solution would you all suggest short of buying yet another version of Illustrator which I find silly since I already shelled out several thousand dollars for this one and I do NOT want to have to buy new software because there's a bug Adobe refuses to patch.

wow actually that space workaround is still MUCH better than i've been dealing with so far, so thank you! i saw a thread where someone said to type a space beforehand but that doesn't work. you are the first person who's given me any sort of reasonable solution - greatly appreciated!!

  • Selection tools not working properly -- Illustrator CS6

    The two selection tools in CS6 Illustrotor not working properly.  They don't select the object when I click and drag a box around them and the handles on drawing path won't stay highlighted when I use the direct selection tool so I can adjust them -- Worked in Illustrator for about 12 years and never had this problem.

  • Pinch to zoom not working in Illustrator CS6

    After replacing a lot of the hardware in my MacBook Pro and re-installing CS6, I've found that pinch-to-zoom no longer works in Illustrator.
    It's functioning fine in InDesign and PhotoShop though.
    Am I missing some preference option to enable multi-touch gestures?

    yes, what in the world is going on with this latest OS, even claimed to be world's most advanced!?
    I was shocked enough when I realized no 4finger swipe to switch apps, and 3finger swipe to go back and forth between pages not working when you have 3finger drag enabled
    now what's utterly frustrating is NO MORE PINCH TO ZOOM IN FINDER
    this is like one of the most important functions in the OS, and it's gone!?
    this must come back
    please fix these in the next update

  • Actions not working in Illustrator CS6

    I created some actions that work on my PC. They area currently working in CS3, CS5 and CC. I had a friend test the actions on their MAC which is running CS6. The actions did not work. I am desperately trying to figure out why they work in previous builds with no problems but so far 2 people with macs running CS6 cannot run them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Charles

    Hello Dhirendra,
    I've recreated all my actions in AICC 2014, because the ones I created in
    AICS weren't working.
    When I test the AICC 2014 newly created actions in AICC 2014 they seem to
    work fine.
    When I restart my computer and open AICC 2014 again and use the actions
    they don't work. Please find attached a screenshot.
    They default AICC 2014 do seem to work, so I'm not sure what is the problem.
    Any help is much appreciated as I rely on my actions
    Best,

  • Activate Artboard using selection tool - Not Working in Illustrator CS6

    When using Multiple artboards, typically you just need to click within an existing artboard to activate it as the selected artboard.  For some reason this function is not working for me suddenly.  I can still activate an existing arboard in the artboard panel, but I am working with 40 artboards, and it's much more efficient when it automatically selects the artboard you're working on as the active artboard (for aligning, pasting, etc...).  Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this?
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • 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 + 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.

  • Knowledge Search not working in Win client

    hi there
    i have a problem with knowledge search not working in IC Win Client in CRM version 5.0
    i guess the problem is with the workspace that is IIA for solution search that is assigned against the knowledge search
    please tell what should i do as right now when i am trying to execute it or open the knowledge search dump is coming  stating null object referenced
    i wonder what could be the solution
    best regards
    ashish

    Hello ashish,
    I had that problem too. You have to apply note 1002299 to restore missing configurations in SAF.
    Also, if you worked with IIA in previous versions, take a look at note 656321 to check it's evolution (replacement by SAF).
    Good luck and Kind regards,
    Bruno

  • AIR SDK 17 (BETA) is not working with Flash CS6

    Hi,
    The latest AIR SDK 17 is not working with Flash CS6.
    I tried to publish and install an iOS app to my connected device via USB but I always get an error "Check if iTunes is installed".
    The latest stable AIR SDK 16 is working fine, and yes, iTunes is installed on my PC.
    DETAILS:
    - Flash CS6
    - AIR SDK 17
    - System: Windows 8,1
    - iPodTouch with iOS 8.1
    REPRODUCE:
    Open new AIR iOS template and publish/install it to a USB connected iOS 8.1 device.
    Anyone else got that error?

    I was getting this intermittently.   Not a super problem.   A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

  • CS5 plugin to work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?

    Hello,
    I have a plugin that should work on both Illustrator CS5 and CS6. CS6 also supports 64-bit illustrator.
    Can i create a 64-bit configuration for the CS5 SDK and make the plug-in work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?
    Thanks

    I don't know if its possible to build a single binary that works in both anymore. Its definitely possible to have a code base that generates two without a whole lot of problems though -- we do it
    The main problem is that in CS6, none of the legacy suites are present (unlike CS5 and earlier). Also, a lot of types have changed (and its going to get worse next version since they've indicated they're going to change AIReal from float to double). So if it is possible to make a single binary, its a very short window where its useful because I can guarantee it won't work for CS7 (CS6.5?).
