Results Priority - Search Display Name 1st

Hi,
I've set up a custom search which works great, apart from one thing - It seems to be giving priority to word 'hits' in the document items before the display name.
For example
When searching for 'Asset' I get the following results:
Accommodation Provider Payment Form - 100%
Asset Inventory Form - 20%
Asset Inventory Transfer Form - 11%
Accommodation is picked out 1st as it contains several occurences of 'asset'. I would like the search to give preference to 'Display Name' 1st, then the document body text. Is there any way I can do this?
Thanks.

You need to add the "exe" file extension to the list of file types that need to be included in the search index. You can do this on the File Types page of the Search Administration (Central Administration).
Go to you Search Service Application and under the Crawling section you find a link called
File Types. At the top of the page click on New file type and add the "exe" file extension. Once that is done, restart your search service and do a full crawl.

How do I get the List REST method to return the results with the display name and not the internal name. I also need the hyperlink to the attached document.

FileSystemObjectType: 0
Id: 2
ContentTypeId: "0x010100517BCCBD1C63034A8C1141184DAB12C5"
Title: null
OData__dlc_DocId: null
OData__dlc_DocIdUrl: null
zopv: "Paint Specification"
s2ue: "J"
We'd prefer to make a single call. It's too bad the REST Api doesn't return the data in the same format as the WCF service, which uses the Display Name and not Internal Name. It also includes the hyperlink to the document.

Hi,
You can get the display name of fields with typedisplayname property.For more information,you can refer to the article:

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

SEARCH RESULTS NOT SHOWING THE NAME OF DOCUMENT

When I search for a document on the top level, the results in my case are relevant but they do not display the document name, meaning I have to go into the document to check if it is the one I'm looking for. For some reason the name of the file is displayed
in results as the first line of the document. I use a document template for letters meaning that the search results gives as list of documents that all have the same name displayed. This renders the search function almost useless as all the results are showing
the same name. Is there a way to change the results page to display the name of the document??

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to show search results by document name instead of the Title.
Here are two links about how to show document name in search results, you can use as a reference:

Problems displaying results after search

I am new to webdesign so I apologize in advance if the anwer is obvios. As you can probably see I rely a lot on dreamweaver to write the code.
Here is the problem:
I have a mysql database where I would like to search 3 columns (it contains 38 column in total). I have a search page with a form that has a text input field. (See code below)
My database is just in test stage, however the columns will not change

Hi Martin,
I did'nt have to re-start the portal. Just hitting on Preview worked. Also, these are my iView settings: The parameter "Enable KM Search Advanced" is set to True, "Show 'Open in New Window' Option" is set to True, "Show 'Details' Option" is set to True
and as Matthias advised me, in "KM Search Parameters" and "KM Search Advanced Parameters", I have "SearchPluginName=<my_search_options_set>" and "SearchCompsName=<my_search_components_set>" and also, I have "Advanced=true" for "KM Search Advanced Parameters". I agree it's a bit strange because initially it did not seem to work but after a while, I got the "Advanced Search" link back. Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Sri

Amazon search results do not display properly as of Firefox 33.0

Hello,
This one is a bit strange. Lately, I've noticed that many (but not all) search results on Amazon display only eight items per page, even though the Amazon site believes it is showing me 48 results. It is as if the rest of the results are hidden behind the "next page" control.
To reproduce:
1) go to amazon.com.
2) In the search bar, enter a search term that will get lots of results. For example "sweaters women"
3) On the resulting page, go to the side menu, and choose a sub category - for example, "Women's sweaters".
4) Look at the resulting page. It will tell you "1-48 of 37,824 results ..." but you will (or at least, *I*) only see eight items -- two rows of four. Directly underneath the second row is the grey bar that shows the pages and the "previous" and "next" links. Underneath *that* is a very large white space, which looks about the right size to contain the remaining rows of results -- but they are not there.
Do you see what I'm seeing? It's strange, and it just started a short time ago. I'm only now really looking into it, and IE and Safari both show me the search results as I expect.
I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 33.0.
Thanks for looking.

No problems here.
I do see 48 results as 12 row of each 4 results.

30EA2 - Search Source Code results - Go To package name problem

As mentioned here 2.1 RC1 - Search Source Code results -> Go To <package name> doesn't work , Reports -> Data Dictionary -> PLSQL -> Search Source Code -> right-click -> Go To doesn't go to the specific line: can this be fixed?
Alessandro

Sorry Vadim, but the procedure to reproduce the bug is different:
1) Open the Reports tab
2) Expand Data Dictionary node
3) Expand PLSQL node
4) Click on Search Source Code
5) Select a Connection
6) Click on Text Search, enter a string to search and click Apply
7) On the results page, right-click any line and select Go To <package name>
8) The package opens on line 1, not the line shown on step 7
While we're at it, do you think it would be possible to make the above process more user-friendly? Like, for example, right-clicking on a Connection and have the Search Source Code option there (that would take me directly to step 6)?
Regards.
Alessandro

How to display item procedure results in Search results?

I have a custom item type based on Image that displays a thumbnail instead of the image itself. This is accomplished using a procedure call and displaying the results with the item and modifying the region attributes to omit the image, but when the items appear in search results, the procedure results are not displayed.
How do I get an item's procedure results to display in search results?
TIA

Are you asking how to pivot the results of the query? Do a search for horizontal looping. If that's not what you are asking, please provide more details.

Why can't I search/filter on display names?

See Question. Yes, it's 'display names', so I guess you can only see them on the display while thunderbird pretends to not know them really.
Still this is a less useful non-feature which annoys me a lot.

Display name:
is useful in identifying emails from specific people like family and friends.
It is more informal.
The shortened format means the 'From' column header does not need to be so wide - especially if these emails have been filtered to suitable folders.
for example: it is more user friendly to see FROM Mum instead of the long email address and many peopke do not always send emails showing their name.
However, like many things, you are not obligued to use it in the contact properties.
Regarding searching:
It depends upon how you are doing it. there are different search methods and each will search in a slightly different way.
If using 'Quick Filter Bar' then it does not search on Display name as those options are not available. It searches on Sender , Recipient, Subject and Body. But if the display name happens to be used in the body content then it will display.
If using global search then it does search on a display name.
Enter the display name in the search eg: Mum and select the Mum and email address option from the drop down offered.
It will show display name and email address, so you can select the search parameters.
If using this method:
Edit > Find > Search messages
This method searches on specific fields/headers and therefore will not search on a display name.
So I would recommend you try using the global search option if searching by a specific display name.

Cannot search EAC by Display Name - Must search by Alias

My company is slowly migrating users from E2k7 to E2k13.
We have noticed on several occasions that room resources that are on E2k13 can only be found in EAC when we search by their Alias. We absolutely cannot search by a display name.
However on some rooms we can search by the display name.
Any known issue here? Or anyone experience this?

Hi Johnny,
We can search the rooms by using Alias, if they also working well, then it seems the migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 complete successfully.
Did someone rename the display names? It needs some time to cover the modification.
Please also get mailbox via display names to verify whether we input the correct display names.
Command as below:
Get-Mailbox DisplayName
If everything going well except the "searching via display name on some users", I suggest intalling the CU3 or SP1. The Exchange 2013 SP1 will release in a short time later.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

Bundle search by display name

I'm using ZCM bundle in Israel and my Display name of the bundles are in Hebrew but the bundle name is in English.
Is there a way the search bundle by display name ?

I have an annoying but useful data gathering process -- I dump out all the
bundle info to XML files (the process automatically puts the data into a folder
structure following that in ZCC) and then use FINDSTR to locate any bundles
having a given reference.
It's hokey but it has saved me huge headaches at times, like when we had to
switch all the assigned folder-rights changes in actions from "Domain Users" to
"Authenticated Users".
This is from ~2000 bundles, so checking each one via ZCC would be impossible.

SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

Hi!
Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
10/7/2012 2.497
11/7/2012 2.723
12/7/2012 2.722
13/7/2012 2.699
16/7/2012 5.055
17/7/2012 4.963
18/7/2012 4.954
19/7/2012 4.998
20/7/2012 4.965
23/7/2012 5.117
24/7/2012 5.012
25/7/2012 5.071
As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
The number of page views remained constant.
So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
#    Visitor                  Page Views   %
1   Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359      0,55%
5   Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
15 nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
60 nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
73 nt\aglsiqueira                 65      0,10%
"Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
About the environment:
We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Manas!
First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
Step 2: Access site "A"
Step 3: Access site "B"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
Step 2: Access site "C"
Step 3: Access site "D"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
Step 2: Access site "E"
Step 3: Access site "F"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
Step 2: Access site "G"
Step 3: Access site "H"
Step 4: Close the browser.
I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
XXXXXXXXXX".
With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
Thanks!

Script to set display name in iCS Calendar view to the LDAP CN

Script to set the display name in the Calendar view for iPlanet Calendar
Server(iCS) to the LDAP common name(CN)
By default, iCS uses a user ID(uid) based on an employee number, rather than on
an employee's first and last name, as the calendar ID(calid).
The current release of iCS (5.0 P2) does not create a display name for a
calendar when a user enables a calendar by logging in; by default, it will
list the calid again in the Display Name field of the Calendar view.
For example, if an employee has a calid of "12345," when you click the
Calendar tab to view the calendar, the Display Name will appear as follows:
<P>
12345 (12345)
<P>
A problem arises when a user tries to subscribe to another user's calendar.
Although the search criteria are based on the calid and the Display
Name, the only information currently stored in the calendar database is the
calid. Therefore, users will be unable to subscribe to another
user's calendar unless they know the calid of that person. The next
patch release for iCS will remedy this problem by using common names(CNs) as
the Display Names. That is, the database will store the CN values
from LDAP for users, and the Calendar view will appear something as follows:
<P>
12345 (John Doe)
<P>
Until this next release of iCS, there are two options to work around this
problem.
<P>
<OL>
<LI>You can "provision" users by running the cscal
administrative utility with the
Display Name option.
<P>
OR
<P>
<LI>If the user community already exists, you can use the sample Perl script
below to search through the calendars of users.
<P>
Note: If a default calid exists that doesn't have a Display Name, the script
will search the LDAP directory to find a CN to set as the Display Name for
that calendar.

Hi David,
About your confuse about"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end".
You can try in your locale.
You will find they are different.
BASED ON THAT you have two table product_d and calendar_d AND they are related by one Fact table.
THEN When you type in
"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end"
AND
"calendar_d"."year",
IT WILL SHOW U TWO different RESULTS.
I need to show year which its related product is not null. but I cannot use SHOW->SQL RESULTS->TYPE SOME "WHERE..." because I also need to use "constrain"..
That why I choose to use a case when function..
So, do you have any idea about this?
Regards,
AnneWhy not use two filters in your request? Have something like this:
product_d.name IS NOT NULL
AND
calendar.year IS PROMPTED?
...instead of using a CASE statement? This way you can have both filters show the way they should in a meaningful way.

Display name of bookmark in WebVPN

Hey,
I'm using very heavily the bookmarks within ASA WebVPN and let different users only show some of them.
Currently for my user I get 8 different bookmark lists displayed and when I reduce e.g. 3 lists, I can't see the names.
Is there a way to displan the title where I can expand/reduce them?
Thanks!
