I dowloard a book sample to iBook. I then deleted it and bought the book and downloaded it. The search engine will only search the 45-page sample and not the full book. How do I get iBook to search the full book?

I downloaded a book sample to iBook. I deleted it and then bought the full book and downloaded it. The search engine keeps only searching the sample, about 50 pages, and not the full book. How do I get the search engine to search the full book?

I am having this exact issue. I just downloaded a book and went to open it and got this exact problem.
I purchased he book through indigo/kobo edition and paid for it and immediately went to open it and am getting the same error
Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem only mine says Bad Device key after.
Not sure why someone has not answered this question yet...i am using windows 7 and this is how i always do it. Never had this problem before when purchasing a book.
i hope someone answers this soon.

Search Scope that Only Returns Sites

I'd like to create a search scope that only returns Sites. I don't want any documents, lists, items, or anything else in my results. How would I do this?Murray

You can use ContentClass:STS_Web
You can either create a scope or you can simply append it to any query using the search query web part. This would allow the user to search for "project1" and the executed query would be "project1 ContentClass:STS_Web" and therefor only return sites with project1 in the content.

A php search engine that only shows results that match entire serch string

I have set up a dreamweaver search engine through php and a fulltext search (WHERE MATCH (....) AGAINST (...). However, when someone inputs more than one word into the search form, the search engine churns out results that only have one of those words. How do I get it to only show results that have all the search string words inside? (or, at least, how do I get those results to show up at the top?)
I have seen some advice (here) that uses php code to process the search query, divide up the words, and place a BOOLEAN '+' between each of the words. By doing this, the search engine will only show results that fully match all the terms.
My problem is that I do not know how to put this code into my Dreamweaver-created code.
My dreamweaver created code:
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
$form_rsSearch = "-1";
if (isset($_get['search'])) {
$form_rsSearch = $_get['search'];
mysql_select_db($database_dataConnect, $dataConnect);
$query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT title, content FROM encyclopedia WHERE MATCH (title, content) AGAINST (%s)", GetSQLValueString($form_rsSearch, "text"));
$rsSearch = mysql_query($query_rsSearch, $dataConnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearch = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearch);
$totalRows_rsSearch = mysql_num_rows($rsSearch);
$input_rsSearchResults = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
$input_rsSearchResults = $_GET['search'];
mysql_select_db($database_EMdataConnect, $dataConnect);
$query_rsSearchResults = sprintf("SELECT title, content FROM encyclopedia WHERE MATCH(title, content) AGAINST(%s)", GetSQLValueString($input_rsSearchResults, "text"));
$rsSearchResults = mysql_query($query_rsSearchResults, $dataConnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearchResults = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearchResults);
?>
and the code the website (link above) gives is:
function search(String $search_string) {
     //strip Boolean search characters out of search string
     $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"+","");
     $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"-","");
     $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"*","");
     //split the search string up into an array of words
     Array $tokenized_search = split($search_string, " ");
     //init an empty final search string
     String $processed_search = "";
     //for each word in the search, wrap it
     //with an + and * character and then append
     //it to the processed_search variable
     foreach($tokenized_search as $token) {
          $processed_search+="+"+$token+"* ";
     //build the sql for the query and query the DB
     String $db_query = "select id, description
          from product_descriptions
          where MATCH(description)
          AGAINST ('"+$processed_search+"' IN BOOLEAN MODE)";
     Array results = execute_database_query($db_query);
     return results;
If anyone can instruct me on the correct way to go about this, I would be very much obliged.
Thank you,

Don't use the Search bar, type the address in the Location bar.

Only Yahoo and Bing appear in the search box and the Search engine manager only shows them too.

No matter what I try, only Yahoo and Bing search engines appear in the search box top right on Firefox. The Search engine manager only shows these two engines as well. I want to add Goggle and have not been able to. The default restore in the Search engine Manager is "Greyed out". What can I do to fix this ?

If those search engines are also missing in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) then a (re)install should restore them.
If they are present then try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Any search engine search crashes Firefox.

Any search engine search instantly crashes any browser I try (Firefox, Chrome, IE). I have checked all my add-ons, used safe-mode, and reinstalled Firefox--nothing has worked.

For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

Why can I not open any tabs on any search engine or any web site located under the toolbar

How can i change my searches so that only UK sites/info are found. and i want to have a master password but don't know my existing one.

Hello lindyh, for specific Search results you can install specific Search Engine Plugins, example for google : http://mycroftproject.com/google-search-plugins.html
Google UK (SSL) en-GB (google.co.uk) by Mycroft Project

How do I prevent search engines from indexing my site?

I have a site that I would rather not password protect but would like to keep reasonably private. In the past, I would simply add the tag in the header (<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">) and was done with it. I can't figure out how to edit headers in MobileMe. Anyone has an idea?

I kind of thought that this was a finished site, but none of the links work.
Add Text. Lots of text. Text that includes words that people will use in a search. YOu dont need to make it a book that no one will read, but include plenty of text.
Make sure you use your <h1> tag...and 2 and 3 and..
Put a meta description using common words and phrases that people might use for a search. You will hear people say meta tags are a waste of time, but the 5 minutes you spend to put them up hardly seems to be a waste.

Search engine finds wrong iweb site

I have two iweb websites
www.jazzana.com
www.royalstrings.com
when I use google seach and type in Jazzana
the result shows royalstrings website www.royalstrings.com
if I type in the url www.jazzana.com
the site comes up
the royalstrings site
has no issues search locates it url is fine
just started happening today?
help please

It would appear that, some how, Google has the wrong info for the Jazzana site. You need to correct that, get them to re index this site and then wait for the new results to appear.
It might be easier to go into your Google account and remove the site and then start the process of adding it again from the beginning.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/SEO.html
Get a new verification file, upload it to - iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites - and verify it with Google.
The url to give to Google is....
http://web.me.com/username/
Create a new sitemap.xml, upload it to the same folder, add the site to your Google account and verify the sitemap.
After you have done this it will take a while for the results of a search to show the correct info.

Whenever I use the search engine, it brings up sites within the topic but when i press on a website it goes off on an entirely different topic. And it happens all of the time every time except with my favorites.

I type in a topic i want to research, it gives me a list of websites, any website i click on, the search goes in random sites,,,,,,,,,,,,unrelated to the topic.

How can I get search engines to "find" my site?

Hi.
I would like my website to to show up on Google and similar searches when someone searches for keywords relevant to my site.
I've heard sites can be tagged with keywords, but can I do this for my iWeb site, and how?
Best regards,
Rolf

(My site does have the option for making a $2 a year donation to help cover bandwidth costs as I am disabled waiting for a heart lung transplant and live on a government pension, but it is not required or sort after. You are free to use it when ever you want)

Everything I click on on any browser (including search engines, links to other sites, pictures, etc.) redirects me to a bogus spam site. What can I do to fix this?

Literally every single thing that I click on will redirect me to some bull crap website (ie. mackeeper, bullet flix, russian mail order brides). This happened once before but went away after I noticed that my firewall wasn't enabled. But now its back and really making me irritated since I can't do anything anymore without being led somewhere else. Please Help!!!

Web Site Search Engine

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me locate a code for a search engine of my web site. My dilemma is, most of the search engines I've located search the web. This's not what I want. I'm looking for a search engine where you can select from a menu display and then hit search and it will return results in a text format from my web site only.
If you're not sure what I'm looking for, an example can be found at www.westernvirtualairlines.com
They use the Quick Flight Search which is exactly what I would like to use.
If you enter Salt Lake City in the "from" box, and Los Angeles in the "to" box it will return the results in the same format I wish to use.
Any help would be awsome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help and assistance.

Well, you can use Google to search your own web pages, but I don't think that's quite what you're asking.
That site you pointed to undoubtedly has its own database set up, so when you click search, it searches through their database and returns any relevant data to your search. If this is what you're attempting to accomplish, there's not going to be any script you can just cut and paste and have everything magically work for you.
While you may not see it, those aren't simply HTML pages you're looking at. That site uses Active Server Pages, orASP, Microsoft's parallel to JSP (Java Server Pages). This pages query the database, organize the result and display it on the page. If you want something this complex, you'll either need to invest some serious time into learning a technology that can handle it, or hire a developer to do it for you.

Need advice on web search engine

I may need to install a search engine for a asp.x web site I am working on. I know nothing about ASP.NET and the these are secure web pages. Also, this is for just a portion of the web site.I have no experience with search engines.
First question: Can search engines limit their search to just a section of a web site?
Second question: What would recommend for my circumstances?
Thanks!

Answer to your first question: No, I don't want to provide a search engine to the entire site. There is a section you go in with several divisions. One division is the directory of services. The way that it's set up now is they have about 9 PDF files that are link to 9 headings. You click on a heading and it opens the PDF for that topic. The problem is that it takes a long time for the PDF to open and then the person may have to search it for the information they are looking for.
I think you may have answered my question already. If robot files are required to limit a search, then a search engine may not be the practical choice in my case.
By the way, to answer your last question, I am not coding in ASP.NET. I have made it clear to these people that I don't know a line of it. But I also think the solution to the problem is to convert the Directory to web pages, set up links of topics and maybe a JavaScript jump menu for linking to other bookmarked information. That way the searched is limited to only certain topics we decide beforehand but also limited to the directory.
What do you think of this solution? Do you foresee any problems?
Michael
