Search doesn't work properly in iOS SMS app

For many many years I've used search in the SMS app to find the name of someone I want to text. So I'll type "Jon" in the search area expecting it to pull up all of the my conversations with people named "Jon" in descending order by date.
This has ALWAYS worked before. Since I switched to iPhone 6 it's stopped working about 50% of the time. It' INFURIATING.
At first, I thought the problem was that I hadn't texted these people on the new phone and somehow that mattered. But it doesn't.
I've tried everything.
I'm 99.99% sure this is a glitch in the software.
Can someone offer an explanation/solution???

There is no such thing as private API's working "properly" or not. You cannot use private APIs because it is highly likely they will change. That is the reason they are private.

Wallpaper Function Doesn't Work Properly in iOS 7 on iPad

When I select a photo for wallpaper, it zooms down to a small section of the photo and won't zoom out at all. It also won't pan up or down. Never had this problem in iOS 6. Photos were taken with iPhone.
Opened a case with Apple support maybe 6 months ago. After spending a long time with them, I was told that the problem would be fixed on an iOS upgrade. The first couple upgrades there was no change. Now on iOS 7.1 it got much worse. Opened another case. After the superviso tried one thing, he refered me to apple.com/feedback to file a bug report. When I asked him why I had to do this after Apple had already commited to fixing the problem. He said he didn't see the problem on his iPad and seemed to say other people didn't see it. But made no effort to find out why I was having a problem, but he wasn't. Very unhappy with the situation. Anyone know about this problem and maybe have a solution?

Username search doesn't work properly if there are spaces in the username

I was experimenting with the watch user widget and you have to select a user from a list of users based on a search.
The problem is that spaces are not respected in the search so that you can't easily set up a watch on a user name with spaces.
Two examples that I tried were b noir and katrina s.

I actually just set up my watch user for you, p, saw your post title and wondered if you were looking for me. I have the same sort of trouble.
My workaround for this (and also constraining discussions search on my posts) is to not refer to the drop down list. Instead, I click the wee blue "Select People" link next to the field. In the Username Lookup thingy that comes up, I type b noir into the Username field, and then click Lookup. That'll bring me up.
I agree it's not easy. Took me quite a while to work out the procedure.

Forum search doesn't work properly

try this:
in the JDeveloper forum search on JBO-25046. you will NOT find any hits. Same if you just search on 25046.
Search on jbo-25046 and you will find thousands of hits referencing jbo without a number.
search on RowNotAvailableException (the actual exception which accompanies JBO-25046) and you will find many posts with JBO-25046 in the subject of the post as well as the body.
when i first started using the forums i found them almost completely useless because it would return any page with any of my search words in it, not even give me the results with most of my search words in first.
once i dug around for a bit, i found that you could do boolean searches using AND in caps. this seemed to to work ok aside from the fact that the search also seems to search for and hilite the word AND throughout the search results.
please put some intellegence into your forum search engine so that forum users can actually find things and benefit from the huge amount of knowelege available there.

No,Its working fine.
Can you tell what's the problem that you have faced ?

ITunes library SEARCH doesn't work properly

Very recently, a search for a particular artist starting yielding songs by that artist but also many other artists. Some might think I shouldn't be disturbed by this, but the search function was perfect until now. There were no unwanted selections. What is wrong? How can I get iTunes to function as perfectly as it has for many years?

I now know what is causing the problem, at least for the singer in question, but I don't know how to overcome it. I now know that the problem started when I downloaded an MP3 album from Amazon. This album contains 25 songs sung by 25 singers, INCLUDING Annette Hanshaw,THE SINGER I'M INTERESTED IN AT THE MOMENT. So, when I do an iTunes' search for Annette Hanshaw, I get her, but I also get all the other singers on this album. This puzzles me. I've downloaded many entire albums, but I've never run into the unwanted linkages before. In other words, I want to keep all of the songs in the album I just downloded, but I only want Annette Hanshaw when I put her name in the SEARCH bar. Is there a way to do this?
Are all the songs in all Amazon MP3 albums linked together in this way?

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

Search in Outlook 2010 with Exchange Server 2010 doesn't work properly

Hi all,
I have a problem with a clients Exchange 2010. Search function in Outlook 2010 doesn't work properly, the employee can't search mails and contact - he doesn't get any result :-(
In application syslog/protocol I get this error:
Function 'CISearch::EcGetRowsetAndAccessor' found, content indexing for database 'Mailbox Database 0139257080' caused by MSSearch-Error '0x80041820' deactivated
Can anybody help me with this, if its necessary I can give further information :-)

Hi,
What’s Exchange Version? Sometimes, after Installing Exchange 2010 SP 1, Searching via OWA or Outlook Online Mode may Fail. If so, please try the following solution:
Download the script
Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 from the Script Center.
Copy the Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 script to the Scripts directory on the Mailbox server (default installation is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14\Scripts).
On the afflicted Mailbox server, open the Exchange Management Shell by right-clicking the shortcut and selecting “Run as Administrator”.
Within the Exchange Management Shell, navigate to the Exchange Scripts directory.
Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script: .\Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1
Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script (without the symbols [] and substitute the database name(s) for any databases you wish to reset: .\ResetSearchIndex.ps1 [-force] <dbname> [<dbname>]...
You will receive an Event ID 109 when the rebuilding of the index starts for each database and an Event ID 110 for each database when the index rebuild has completed.
After receiving Event ID 110 for each database, test to make sure search functions correctly with both OWA and Outlook operating in Online Mode.

Interleaving doesn't work properly for Cisco 3725 router, IP Plus IOS

Dear All,
I am deploying VoIP between 2 sites using Cisco 3725 routers. Currently, interleaving doesn't work properly which result in voice quality problem only during data trafic.

The cable doesn't work properly when connected as data cable.

Hi,
I have recently encountered problem of the cable. The thing is that if i use it just for charging with the plug, it works fine. But when i wanna use it with computer (i.e., accessing itunes, etc) or with my car, it doesn't work properly, it keeps switching between charging and discharging very fast. I will appreciate your quick support!
Regards,
Farhan

Just for all the people to know, I found out the solution. You have to mark the correct side of the charging cable which connects at inlet of the phone. Because this point acts as a chip when used as data cable or auxiliary use (car,etc). That's why it charges with the plug on any side. I don't know what's the frequency of it happening to iphone 5s users, because I bought it recently (iOS 7.1.1) Hope it helps to others in future.

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro. But in editable PDF combobox search is not working properly.
It's only search first character.

My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

Mail search doesn't work well after changing mail file to another drive

Hi, I need some help making the search in mail work for Mountain Lion. After I changed the mail folder to a new drive, SSD, creating an alias, everything works fine for mail except the search. When I search most of the times I get back emails that I received before doing the change.
I already tried at rebuilding the mailboxes, and also I erased the Envelop index files, and they rebuilt themselves, and still the search is not working properly for the emails I have received since I changed the mail files to the new drive.
Other than that the mail program is working well and as I work a lot with search I am experiencing a loss of productivity.
I wouldn't like to revert it to the old drive, as the new drive is SSD and goes much faster for the big size of my mail fines.
Thank you for your help !
Javier

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Microsoft Outlook doesn't work properly since I updated to Mavericks?!

Hello.. so yeah ever since I updated to Mavericks, Outlook from Microsoft Office 2011 doesn's work properly. It won't pop up with a window to either reply, forward or write a new e-mail and it gets annoying because I need it for work. So it's totally useless. I don't want to be deleting and installing MO again because my friend did it for me and I don't know all the registration details to prove it's legit or something and I don't want stuff deleted. Sooo.... can anyone help? I don't know how to get it to work, so frustrating!

What Apple wants from his customers?
1) I've paid my iPhone 4S 900 euros;
2) I'm used to buy music and apps from iTunes store;
3) my iCloud space costs 32 euros per year
and, like me, millions of customers around the world!
and Apple does not allow me (and many others) to use the internet traffic for which I (we) pay my (our) provider, that's not among those that directly sell iPhone??? Is this your idea of a really unblocked device as you falsely declsre from the pages of Apple online store ?!? Shame on you!
If I had know that the 7.1 led to this I'd never updated my iPhone. No one (Apple and the sites that live because of her) told about this issue in their enthusiastic comments on the new, updated version, of iOS. Shame on you!
This would claim a class action against such a behaviour!
I'm disgusted
thank you
