Saved Search as a Stack?

I created a saved search for all my Numbers spreadsheets, and I want to put that in the dock as a stack. How do I do that?

Oy... Me too. Here's what I've found:
1. You can save the search and add it to the sidebar. "Right"/Ctrl click on it and select "Open Enclosing Folder". Find the search and drag it to the Stacks area of the Dock. Ironically enough, we want it as a stack, but it only opens a new window in the Finder with your search (this is ironic because I've heard people wanting this feature for other folders, but they get added as stacks...). Blah! Not what I want, but I'll take it I guess.
2. You can make a custom stack. In my Home directory sits a new folder I created called "Other Stacks", which contains individual folders that are my stacks. Inside each of those I have aliases ("shortcuts" for you Windows switchers out there) of the files/apps I want in my stack. So, alias everything, put it in a folder, put that folder somewhere you can find it easily, then drag it on to the Dock. Voila! A custom stack. Not what you really want for an ever changing situation, but maybe it will help for now if option 1 isn't to your taste.
I just pray they troll these forums looking for user complaints/suggestions =) It'd be nice to have some of these additional features in later updates of Leopard.

Change the appearance of a 'saved search stack' in dock

Hi,
I read a hint on Mac OS X Hints which I particularly like, allowing for a saved search in the dock to behave as a stack showing all recently used documents. See here for the original hint.
The problem I have is that the icon of this stack is a drawer with papers in it. It looks really out of place next to my other stacks, so I would like to customise it. I have changed the icon of the entry in ~/Library/Saved Searches, but that doesn't get reflected in the dock. I have looked at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist, but there is no reference to an icon in there that I could potentially change.
How do I change the appearance of a 'saved search stack' in the dock!?
thanks,
Rob

I agree with you that this is not good design and only adds to the confusion of new users, not lessens it.
It also makes more steps for experienced users.
Still it is what it is. Personally I'm sticking with Snow Leopard. After all the anticipation I found Apple has screwed up Lion and it is looking like their version of Vista. A rearrangement of the deckchairs to distract you from the gaping hole in the side of the ship, and that the Shipping Company has decided they are switching to other businesses.
Save a version is Save, and OSX handles all saves using versions you can step back through.
Duplicate is Save as with an extra step inbetween where the file has another name that you need to change. btw also lacks a shortcut. Nice one Apple.
Revert has always been there in OSX and was one of the few improvements in that it consistently lets you go back to your last saved version.

Saved Search Not working in WEB UI

Hi,
When I am creating a saved search for opportunity and run it. The results are activities, not opportunity. But it is perfectly working for other saved search (like accounts, etc). Please help me in finding the reason behind this.
Thanks.

Hi Stefen,
Thank you for the reply. There was misunderstanding in understanding the actual issue.
User faces the issue as follows:
"When they try to save a search for visit report, and run it later, they get the action items, not the visit report".
Please note visit report is kind of Activity. Also we havnt implement any badi for saved search. Even I doubt whether this is a standard functionality for activity/visit report, when saved search runs to display the action items.
Please help me on this.
Thanks.

How to implement Quick Query and Saved Searches in ADF?

We are using 11gR2 ADF.
The requirement is to enable Quick Search and save the Searches.
In the Oracle ADF documentation, it is mentioned that
- Create a view with view criteria named.
- In the .jspx drag and drop the view criteria and Select Quick Query
Upon doing the above, we see that a Search panel is getting created, but with a message 'No Search Fields Added'.
In the named view criteria, Under 'UI Hints' we have set
-- execution mode as Both
-- Search region mode is Basic
-- Show Operators in Basic
Under 'Criteria Definition'
the attributes are added in a group with OR condition.
Thanks for your reply. Oracle ADF developer guide does not help!!
If you have any other documentation that helps in implementing this Quick Query and Saved Search, your help is greatly appreciated.

Set the following on your af:query component
SaveQueryMode = hidden
ModeChangeVisible = false
This should work for you ..

Adding Saved Searches task flow to a Page Template

I am trying to add the Spaces "Saved Searches" task flow to my custom page template. I have tried a few different approaches and none seem to be working.
First, I tried simply dragging and dropping the task flow from JDeveloper's Resource Palette into my template. JDeveloper created added the following to my template source code:
+<af:region value="#{bindings.allsavedsearches1.regionModel}" id="pt_r1"/>+
After uploading the changes to Spaces, there seemed to be no change to the rendered template.
Second, I tried to simply add the task flow to a page in my test space via composer. However, as soon as I click the "Add" button next to the Saved Searches task flow, the page goes blank (white screen of death) and the following message shows up in the spaces error logs:
javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.el.parser.ParseException: Encountered "\'" at line 1, column 65.
Finally, I looked at how the out of the box templates implement the saved searches functionality. It appears that the saved searches use a custom folder in the Default Navigation Model. I looked at the source in the Default Navigation Model and found the following node:
+<customFolder factoryClass="oracle.webcenter.search.view.rc.SearchServiceContextFactory" id="savedSearchesFolder" visible="true">+
+<attributes resourceBundle="oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.resource.WebCenterResourceBundle">+
+<attribute attributeId="Description" isKey="true" resourceBundle="oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.resource.WebCenterResourceBundle" value="NAV_APPLICATIONS_CUST_FOLDER_SEARCHES.DESCRIPTION"/>+
+<attribute attributeId="IconURI" value="/adf/webcenter/foldersavedsearches_qualifier.png"/>+
+<attribute attributeId="Title" isKey="true" resourceBundle="oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.resource.WebCenterResourceBundle" value="NAV_APPLICATIONS_CUST_FOLDER_SEARCHES.TITLE"/>+
+<attribute attributeId="WEBCENTER_SERVICE_ID" value="oracle.webcenter.search"/>+
+</attributes>+
+</customFolder>+
I copied the entire node and put it in my navigation model. Upon rendering the template, I can see the new node in the navigation but when I click on it, nothing happens.
Can someone please tell me if I am on the right track with any of these three approaches? Or where to look to diagnose the issues I am running into?
Thanks,
Joe

UPDATE: I updated the "activation" property in the page def for the allsavedsearches task flow to be "deferred". Now I am getting an ADF popup menu with two menu items: "My Searches" and "Other Members" but clicking on the items does not trigger anything...
Any thoughts? What additional information would be helpful for analyzing this issue?

Error in saving search result in MDS application

Hi All
I'm developing a ADF customizable web appicatoion using jdeveloper 11.1.2.0
It works fine when I deploy this application to metadata repository, but when I Save a search result in search panel it gives following error "You do not have permission to replace this search"
This is my configuration in ADF-Config file

</persistence-config>
Please help me to resolve this error

Hi,
you are trying to change a system search, which is not allowed for customization. You can save custom searches in MDS but not override system searches
+"Query component now support the overriding the saved search functionality. When user click on the "Save..." button, "Create Saved Search" dialog comes up with name field populated with the currently selected saved search. If user enters a "System Search" name and click OK button, a error dialog stating "You do not have permission to replace this search:" is shown. If user enters an already existing saved search name then a warning dialog stating "Replace existing search:" is shown. On clicking OK existing search is replaced with the new definition. If a name that is not already present in the saved-search list is provided, a new search with the given name is created. For this a new event QueryOperationEvent.Operation.OVERRIDE is added.+
+Query component now allows the deletion of saved-search which is currently active search in the query-panel. When user deletes currently active saved-search, we set the first search from system-search list as the currently active search, and refresh the query-panel when "Personalized Saved Search" dialog is closed.

Yosemite: Saved search from Spotlight does not work the same

Hi,
I have various Logic Pro folders throughout my computer and want to create a Saved Search that brings all and only the Logic project files together into one place.
There's a couple of catches: the Logic file extension has changed over the years with the various application updates.
It would be nice to create a Smart Folder/Saved Search with something like File Extension:logic OR File Extension:logicx OR File Extension:lso
However if you just add these search criteria as separate lines, it appears they are "AND" filters so nothing shows up at all.
I seem to remember older versions of Smart Folders allowing you to have much more control over boolean search parameters.
After a bit of online investigation I discovered that you can do some more complex searches using Spotlight and then save it as a Smart Folder or Saved Search.
In Spotlight I used:
Kind:Logic -.0 -(crashed) -.cst -.pst -.prf -.patch -.logikcs
This cleaned out all the extra unneeded files and backups that are associated with Logic and just displayed only my desired .logic, logicx and .lso files.
Awesome! Then I saved it as a Saved Search in the sidebar.
Which doesn't work. Or at least the extra flags don't work. All I am seeing is the Kind:Logic again.
This is how the Spotlight search translates across into the Saved Search window (I can scroll across to see the extra flags). Any good ideas or workable solutions? Thx!

>
fromObject in the code above is a key (String) that I retrieve from the OrderedHashtable and clone it using the code above.No. How could that code possibly clone a String? Where are you telling it what the new String's contents should be?
(HINT: Nowhere.)
I guess there is a work around where I can check if the cloneClass is an Instance of String and just do fromObject.toString(), but I was curious to know if there was a change in the way class.newInstance() works in Java 1.5No, it has not changed.

How to hide the Save Results Layout checkbox on the Create Saved Search pop

I need to hide the Save Results Layout checkbox on the Create Saved Search popup. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
This popup is used when the user is on a query (rendered by the af:query component) and they select click the "Save..." button. The have three options, Set as Default, Run Automatically, and Save Results Layout. I have an implementation that supports everything except saving the layout. So I need to hide that checkbox.
Thanks,
Mike

For anybody else who needs to do this, here is how I did it.
Add this to your css
/* This hides the Save Results Layout checkbox on the Create Saved Search screen */
span[id$='saveLayout'] {
visibility: hidden;
}

Saved search for Photo Stream not working in Mavericks

I have a saved search for JPGs in my photo stream so I can easily access them via Finder instead of iPhoto. In Mavericks my saved search no longer sees my latest photo stream iPhone pics. Anyone else notice this? I can see them in iPhoto though. I've tried re-doing the search, etc, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Oh man, I've been beating my head on the desk trying to fix this. The only clue I have is that photos taken from iOS 7 (vs iOS 6) devices after about a week ago (wasn't there an OS X update recently?) don't show up in finder the same. When you dig through the "sub" folder to find the long-named folders with the photostream files in them, hit command+i and check out the "More Info:" section. The recent ones don't have anything in them (see http://d.pr/i/WKzR). Furthermore if you drill down to one of those folders containing such an image (see: http://d.pr/i/nIUP) and try to create a saved search from there it won't show up (see: http://d.pr/i/FOri).
I even tried to create an automator to pull those images out, but when you're searching for a file in any of those new folders finder doesn't see anything.
Not an answer for ya, just more confusion. Let me know if you get any bright ideas.

Saved search issue with custom link

Hi all,
Generally we do have one opportunity search . But according to my requirement I have added one more opportunity search for separate Opportunity type .
I do have 2 different view configurations for regular search/result and newly added custom search/result.
here the issue is with Archived Saved Search( those are saved in regular Opportunity Search) is not working properly when I am open custom Search and then open the saved Search( from Home Page) . Here again I need to open the regular opportunity Search and execute the Saved Search then it is working.
When I come out from custom search/result, then execute the Saved Search it is calling the configuration of Custom Search/result.
here I need to destroy the custom configuration search/result when I come out or execute the saved search . already I tried the WD_DESTROY method in Mainview set level. But it is not working .
Regards.

Solved my self.
Below is the solution. Go to the Viewset implementation class ZL_BT111S_O_MAINVIEWSET_IMPL   and call the default configuration in method DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION .
CALL METHOD me->set_config_keys
   EXPORTING
     iv_object_type          = '<DEFAULT>'
     iv_object_sub_type      = '<DEFAULT>'
     iv_propagate_2_children = 'X'.

How to hide Saved Searches in the header area of web ui

Hi All,
My Query Is how to hide Saved Searches in the header area of web ui.
For This is there any configuration or we have do through the code.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat

Another approach:
Open view CRM_WORKAREAHDR/WorkAreaHeader and change the configuration. There is a button in the bar named "Attributes" (probably hidden under MORE).
Once in there in edit mode substitute the content of attribute "UI_COMPONENT_3". It should be
Window=CRM_ALLSEARCHES.CRM_ALLSEARCHES/LauncherWindow;horizontalAlignment=right;
put there a
Width=0px;
The other way using business role is fine as well.

Reorder Saved Search items in af:query component

Hi,
Is there any way to change the order of Saved Searches listed in the af:query component. The order that the view criteria are displayed in this component does not seem to have any relationship to the order that they occur in the VO.xml file, nor are they listed alphabetically.
I'm only interested in ordering the view criteria in the choice list, that I have configured at design time.
Is this possible?

forgot to mention in my initial post that I'm using Jdeveloper 11g Rel 1.
Thanks,

Af:query saved search not getting deleted.

hi,
I have a af:query component in which I am setting saveQueryMode="default".
As per the docs, setting this value to default implies: "default: all saved searches are displayed. In addition any saved search can be created but only user saved searches can be deleted/updated."
I fire a search on the query component and then save it as "mysearch".
I then try to personalize it.
However, here I don't find the Delete button enabled for it.
I want the user saved searches to be deletable.
Am I missing anything here?
Thanks.

Simo,
I guess you have to look for MDS or Meta data service. MDS stores changes to the ui like table layout and query state for each user in a central store (db or file).
To use MDS you must use ADF security as this gives MDS the user ID.
I can't search for more info right now as I'm not in front of my pc. Check the doc for MDS and you find more info.

How to implement saved search delete feature in af:query

Hi,
I have implement MDS for af:query. However, delete button in "Personalized" window of af:query is still being disable.
My test flow is the following:
1) fire a search on the query component and then save it as "savedSearch1".
2) then try to personalize it. Observed that "Delete" button in Personalize window is being disable. Not able to delete "savedSearch1"
My question is: Is there a way for me to enable the "Delete" Button at the personalized window so that user can delete the saved search?
I have af:query component with the following code:
<af:query id="qryId1" headerText="#{uiBundle.SEARCH}" disclosed="true"
value="#{bindings.KanbanCardSummaryVOCriteriaQuery.queryDescriptor}"
model="#{bindings.KanbanCardSummaryVOCriteriaQuery.queryModel}"
queryListener="#{KanbanSummaryBean.queryListener}"
queryOperationListener="#{bindings.KanbanCardSummaryVOCriteriaQuery.processQueryOperation}"
resultComponentId="::pc1:t1" maxColumns="2" rows="1"/>

Hi,
Does anyone knows the answer for this question?

ADF : af:query saved search issue

hi
Please consider this example application from Andrejus Baranovskis
http://jdevsamples.googlecode.com/files/UserCustomizationsSession.zip
(which he refers to from his blog post "User Customizations for Duration of Session in Oracle ADF 11g")
I see some strange behaviour with a saved search in this scenario:
(a1) open the UserCustomizationsSession.jws file in JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0 and configure the "Hr" database connection in the Application Resources panel
(a2) right-click the main.jspx page in the ViewController project and click Run
(a3) on the "Index" page click the "Employees" button
(a4) on the "Employees Form" page, without entering any search values, click the "Search" button, which causes (all) the rows to show in the table
(a5) in the "Firstname" search field, enter "a" and click the "Search" button, which causes rows with "a" in their first name to show in the table
(a6) click the "Save..." button
(a7) in the "Create Saved Search" dialog, enter "my-a-search" in the "Name" field and keep the default values for the checkboxes ("Set as Default" checked, "Run Automatically" checked and "Save Results Layout" unchecked) and click "OK", which causes "my-a-search" to show up in the "Saved Search" dropbox
(a8) click the "Close" button
(a9) on the "Index" page click the "Employees" button, which causes the "Employees Form" page to show up with the results of "my-a-search"
(a10) in the "Saved Search" dropbox, select "EmployeesViewCriteria" and click the "Search" button, which seems to cause the table to refresh but still showing what seems to be the result of "my-a-search"
(a11) try to change the value of the "FirstName" search field or use the "Reset" button, each time the result of "my-a-search" shows up
question
(q1) Why don't I get all the rows in step (a10) instead of just "my-a-search"?
many thanks

Hi Jan,
seems related to bug 8817108 - AF:QUERY DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITH MUTIPLE VIEW CRITERIA
I'm copying below an except of the SR with possible workarounds:
The key point in the modified testcase is that we created a method in the
Application Module that resets the View Criteria of the View Object:
    public void unapplyViewCriteria() {
        String[] allVC = getViewObj1().getAllViewCriteriaNames();
        for (String vc: allVC ) {
            System.out.println("Unapply View Criteria: " + vc);
            getViewObj1().removeApplyViewCriteriaName(vc);
    }This method was published as a client interface and added to the bindings of
the Page definition (by a drag&drop from the DataControl palette):
    <methodAction id="unapplyViewCriteria" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
                  Action="invokeMethod" MethodName="unapplyViewCriteria"
                  IsViewObjectMethod="false" DataControl="AppModuleDataControl"
                  InstanceName="AppModuleDataControl.dataProvider"/>This created a button that we updated as the following:
        <af:commandButton
                          text="Go To Other Page AND Unapply View Criteria"
                          disabled="#{!bindings.unapplyViewCriteria.enabled}"
                          id="cb1"
                          actionListener="#{bindings.unapplyViewCriteria.execute}"
                          action="otherpage"/>This button will execute unapplyViewCriteria() and then navigate to the other page.
That's a first solution, where we unset the View Criteria just when navigating.
Another option is to unapply the ViewCriteria when the af:query has completed its query.
This can be done by the method we exposed in the aforementioned Note.
The method processQuery() in the backing bean is:
    public void processQuery(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
         * add your PreQuery code here
         * invoke the real processQuery
        invokeMethodExpression("#{bindings.NameStartsWithMQuery.processQuery}",
                               Object.class, QueryEvent.class, queryEvent);
         * add your PostQuery code here
        // Workaround for Bug 8817108
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("unapplyViewCriteria");
        Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    }where we first execute the standard processQuery, and then unapply the View Criteria.
If memory serves me well, customer opted for WA 2.
Regards,
Didier.
