Search does not work in Mail

After upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and reindexing my mails, "Mail" does not find anything when using the built-in search feature (neither does Spotlight). I tried removing the envelop files in the Library folder (- reindexing), deleting + adding email accounts within Mail, and removing / adding the mail folder to Spotlight (following Apple's suggestion (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409)). Interestingly enough, when re-adding the mail folder to Spotlight, nothing seems to happen.
I have the impression that this could be related to the fact that I have my mails stored within an encrypted archive file (sparse bundle). Therefore the Library folder does not contain the Mail archive directly but refers to a disk volume via an alias. I had no problems with this prior to Mavericks.
Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas how this could be solved?
Thanks,
Tim.

hi tim....see what you think
here is one more thot.
have now reconciled to the idea that the 'to' name will not show, only the 'from' name,
so, sorted the trash box by 'to'. (by clicking the top area to 'sort by to'
then started going down and looking at each emails header to see if all the listings were in order of 'to',
to miss A
to miss A
to miss A,
however that is usually the case but often the person they are 'to' are not all togher, like all the 'to Miss A' are not all togher but scattered thru the list...
should it be like that?

  • Mac Lion. Search function does not work in mails.

    Hello,
    I already wasted several hours trying to find solution for a problem which appeared with Lion, search function does not work, in mail at least.
    I was not using Leopard before and I am not a mac expert.
    (search function was already bad in the normal it was already bad in the normal 10.7 set up but at least it was working in mac mails).
    I tried reindexing via spotlight privacy settings (adding and removing HD) but does not work much better.
    I don't want to go to terminal, as as mentioned I don't know enough about mac to try this.
    What to do?
    Thanks,
    C.

    Anyone? Any ideas?

    When I generate and then view the help, it looks perfect!  I changed the name of the project folder since the information is proprietary.  I have several pictures including the parent folder and the only 3 folders that are generated.  I cannot find the Webhelp output folder.  I think this is what you need to see.

  • Address Book SEARCH does not work anymore

    Since the last week or so, my "Address Book" does not search at all anymore for any contacts on iCloud (which is where I have all my contacts). I saw others had a similar problem, and that one person was able to fix it -> https://discussions.apple.com/message/17417340?searchText=Address%20Book%20SEARC H%20does%20not%20work%20anymore#17417340 -> but this fix does not work for me. Interestingly it searches if I have contacts "On my Mac", which I usually don't.
    I tried exporting my address book and re-inporting it (replacing all contacts), but it did not change anything.
    Was anyone able to fix this besides the person in the above linked discussion?

    YEEHAH !!!
    I HAD THE SAME "SEARCH" ISSUE, HOWEVER I AM NOT USING iCLOUD... so my situation was yet slightly different I guess, I tried a bunch of things (exporting, reimporting etc.. Nothing worked..).
    FINALLY WHAT WORKED WAS: I deleted everything in the Application Support/AddressBook EXCEPT the Metadata folder. When I relaunched AddressBook.. everything worked fine again, searches etc.. and all icons even reappeared I guess they are also kept with the metadata info not jsut the images folder since I had deleted it) .. and all my contacts from Facebook that I had synched using Cobook and some other utility before that are also there...
    I've also played around with CoBook again.. to make sure things were stable, and so far they are.
    HOWEVER.. iCloud scares me... so I'll refrain from playing with that for now

  • *BUG* Open Parameters Partial Search Does Not Work

    Similar question: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1773556
    Quite simply, using the open parameter #search=<keyword list> does not work at all if the search terms are partial matches.
    For example, if a document contains:
    abcdefg
    abcdef
    abcde
    abcd
    If I use the open parameter #search="abc", this will return ZERO results.
    If I use the open parameter #search="abcd", this will return ONE result.
    Is this intended? Is this a bug? Is Adobe going to respond to this?

    It isn't a bug. Read the documentation:

  • Search does not work on webhelp or webhelp pro

    I save and generate with webhelp or webhelp pro-- search function does not work. If I open the same project on another system with robohelp and save and generate it ( during save/generate, I reselect DHTML>Pure HTML and check Search input field in toolbar)   SEARCH FUNCTION WORKS!
    It looks to be configuration or corruption with my robohelp? Any suggestions?

    Yes, I think you may have found your issue there – try deactivating, uninstall RH and reinstall.

  • BINARY SEARCH does not work as before after upgrade

    We recently upgraded from HRSP 26 to HRSP 40 as well as similar upgrades in non-HR areas on our ECC 6.04 system.  We've been in SAP since 1998, and have a lot of old custom programs which were written when we were still new at ABAP.  In a few, we put records into an internal table sorted the table, maybe added a few more records to the table, and did a READ BINARY SEARCH.  Granted, this is not correct, adding records to a table after it is sorted.  But these programs have worked for more than 10 years and now, since our upgrade, the READ BINARY SEARCH does not always find a record where it did before the upgrade.
    So this is mostly just a heads-up.  If you are missing data in reports after upgrading, this might be the issue.  Also I am wondering if anyone has experienced this.
    Heads-up!
    Janice Ishee

    Hi Janice,
    you did not give any context. Please note that it is a popular error to think that a SELECT statement will fetch data in order of the primary key of the table - although it happens quite frequently. So always first sort, then binary search.
    Probably not related to upgrade.
    Regards,
    Clemens

  • Groups does not work in Mail under Mavericks

    Its not just smart groups, by I cannot get any of my Groups to work with Mail under Mavericks.  I am weary of having to type out the address for each person separately.  Is there some better way?

    I don't know why typing he name of a regular group does not work for you, but…
    Another way is to open the address panel, select a group, then select all in the group, then click the two button.

  • I just downloaded (updated) Firefox to V 20.0.1 now the "search" does not work, either via the mouse click or the enter key. Windows XP.

    Updated to latest version, V 20.0.1 Now when on the home page the "search" does not function with mouse click or the enter key. Currently running XP Service pack 3. I also have the same problem (after same firefox update at home with my HP laptop running Windows 7.

    You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder.<br />
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Try to delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Windows 7 x64 - outlook 2010 - search does not work

    Hi,
    I have a sbs 2011 essentials, and 5 workstations win 7 pro 64 bits.
    On one of these Workstation (and not the others), searching for a text in mails in Outlook doesn't work. System tells indexing is in progress. No text can be found (even the sender of a mail displayed on the screen).
    Antivirus is MS Security Essentials. The mailbox is not very big.
    No Windows live account, mails are stored on the LAN (sbs server).
    => Indexing status: shows everything is indexed (0 remaining).
    => delete/rebuild index then reboot: no change.
    => tried chkdsk /f: no change (and no error found)
    => deleted temp files. No change.
    => checked indexed contents. Outlook, office Note, and a few (small folders). Appdata is excluded from c:\users.
    => Tried when disabling Security Essentials Real-Time protection, no change.
    It seems that either text indexing blocks / freezes on a file (perhaps the last one, perhaps due to something else like Antivirus), either doesn't tell Outlook/Windows that indexing is finished.
    Is there any way to see where this indexing tool stops? To force it to continue, ...?

    Hi,
    Regarding the issue here, Please first take an attempt to repair your Outlook personal folder file (.pst) :
    How to repair your Outlook personal folder file (.pst)
    We might also take a try to reinstall the Windows Search feature:
    If your installation of Windows Search got damaged, we can remove and reinstall it in the following way.
    Control Panel-> Programs-> Turn Windows features on or off
    Deselect: Windows Search
    Press OK and wait until the installer is finished.
    Reboot your computer.
    Repeat the above steps to enable it again.
    If still have troubles with outlook search, we may need to take a look in the Event Viewer and look for any errors logged by the “Search” or “Microsoft Outlook”, And if they are not helpful to you, please post them back in together
    and we will help you troubleshoot it.
    In addition, we might consider seek help in the forum below regarding outlook issues:
