Search everywhere first?

I know this has probably been brought up but to try to find previous posts about it exemplifies the actual problem! Why does the initial search in any forum search all the forums first?  For this post I tried to search for words such as "search" and got every forum listed except this one. I only wanted to look through this discussion. If I'm in the PS forum searching for "paths" I don't need to find every instance of "paths" in every forum.
Of course after waiting for an initial search of the whole Adobe discussion universe I know I can then choose "Search Options" to narrow the search parameters in that tiny little scroll box of every Adobe discussion.
I hope this gets changed to search in the present discussion first.

As Dave says, the Jive developers are Jive A$$ Developers... who approach the world rear end forwards. An Ostrich would score points over them and not just because, in its traditional pose, its rear end points skywards... it would score because an Ostrich knows its own limitations and doesn't try and write software (complex or otherwise) for a large and active forum / fora. To add to said Jive A$$ developers (aka as inferior Ostriches, Latin name: Ostrichusmajoridiotus) they have no clue how people in complex discussion groups like these operate.
Unfortunately the Adobe top management has fallen under the spell of the bean counters... or, maybe, now comprises the bean counters.
The disaster of these new forums is symptomatic of the malaise pervading the whole system. New versions of various software are trundled out with an emphasis (or emphases) on delivering new features without any attempt to fix broken issues. In many cases, i'm not saying all, the new features will run into various problems as underlying root issues have not been sorted out.
Oh well... <shrug> pointless... as, apart from us users, no one from Adobe listens.
Cheers all and have a great week!
JJ

    2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different).  I am running 10.7.5.  I searched everywhere and nothing.  Not on iCloud either.  This happened a few years ago and never noticed it again.  I received emails before and after the 2 that never showed up so can't figure out why I didn't get them!  Does Apple automatically delete some emails based on text?  These were nothing crazy.  One was about decorating cookies for a party and which colors to use!  HELP!  Now I am worried I am missing important emails!

  • Get Spotlight to search everywhere

    Hi everyone,
    I consider myself a pro user, certified Apple tech, sys admin, blabla. Sometimes I need to configure plists manually or edit some hidden/system files. I know how to search for these using a Finder search window and the kind dropdown menu or via Terminal. I also made a saved search to search everywhere. But I would rather use the menu bar Spotlight icon to do my searches. Is there any way to configure it to always search everywhere? I once read about a config file where Spotlight's exclusions (such as Library) are listed, but I can't remember it anymore.
    I know that searches will get me lots of unneeded stuff and will probably take much longer, but I don't care. I want cmd+space searching everywhere!
    Any help is really appreciated!

    ah, that could be. I tried to see what files are read or modified when you do a finder search and it looks like that file is the only one involved but changing it does not seem to affect anything.
    BTW, I never found anything that would fix the Spotlight menu item. As far as I'm concerned, Spotlight's crippled in its present state and I usually use Terminal's locate command, rebuilding the locate database using Leopard's /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb file.

  • Select-String to search only first column in .CSV

    Hello all,
    I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to only search the first column of a .CSV file using Select-String. I guess I could probably import-csv and pipe the first column to select-string, but I was wondering if Select-string has this capability within itself?

    Yes, a "large file that I only need a few lines from" is more the issue. And I was also just curious if Select-String had such functionality. For the file I am reading, it has over 23,000 lines (13MB), and there is a significant
    performance increase with using select-string (over %4000 increase) :
    Using Import-CSV and Where-Object: around 5.938 seconds
    Using Select-String: around 0.138 seconds
    Thus, if I have several strings that I want to search the file for, I would prefer to use Select-String. I suppose I could just do the following?
    1. Use Select-string to search the file for each string I need to search for
    2. Once I'm done searching for all strings, I can query the resultant data set to be sure the string is in the first column of each record in the dataset
    3. If the string is not in the first column in the resultant data set, I can just remove the record.
    Am I way off base here?

  • When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

    When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words.  I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
    I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

    But these are not related to flash..
    And then I found that flash still worked until just recently when I was messing around to get the java web plugin to work on a 32bit swiftfox with lib32jdk from aur. It sounds unrelated but then flash only started working on 32bit swiftfox and not the 64bit firefox. So now i've uninstalled all the lib32jdk, 32bit swiftweasel and all the nspluginwrapper stuff before trying with java(gcc-gcj + java-gcj-compat) and nspluginwrapper again or gnash-cvs

  • Unable to search for first record using the Preview tree

    Post Author: TheBig1980s
    CA Forum: General
    Hello:
    Users are unable to search for the first record in the Preview tab's tree.  The reason for this is because the first record is within the first page header of the report.  My guess is that, by design, Crystal takes the end user to whatever the first instance of the record iseven if that first record is in a page header.  That's not "good".  I want the user to be taken to the first record within the details of the reportnot within the page header.
    I have suppressed the page header to not print on the first record by using OnFirstRecord.  But, I still get the same issue where end users cannot select the first record in the tree without being taken to the page header.  Very strange.
    Can anybody think of any other ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thank you Dave Merchant and try67 for your responses. As per my previous post, I contacted the company re the catalogue and they have responded favourably. I'll include their response because it gives the reason for the search failure as document compression which you might find interesting. I'll await their new catalogue and see if they have fixed the problem.
    Company response:
    Thank you very much for your input.  And yes, you are correct, the compression we used for the current catalogue's PDF format does strip out text included in the catalogue.  We used the compression settings we did with the intention of minimising download time, however I take your point about including text for search purposes (which I also utilise when I'm scanning through PDFs).
    We will actually be posting out our new catalogue next week and we'll release the new PDF version on the website at the same time.  I've asked our graphic designer to ensure that the PDF we use for the new catalogue includes searchable text.

  • UCCX 9 Search by first 4 letters and another data

    Good afternoon everyone
    Could you please advise me on this question?   I need to search a person's information by using first 4 of ID number, first 3 of area code and another data such as his/ her birthday...
    My script is....
    1.  Ask a caller to enter first 4 digit of ID  (Complete ID number is 10digits or longer)
    2.  Ask a caller to enter first 3 numbers of area code
    3.  then, ask his/her to enter complete birthday (MM/DD/YYYY)
    4.  With those information, I need database to search person's recent activity data
    I tired for first 4 digit ID search as    SELECT * From VW_Database WHERE CustomeNumb LIKE 'CustomerNumber%'      in DB Read Field Selection.   However, it comes back as no data found...   It does not look like taking wild card (%) 
    Please advise how i can use wildcards with this data search....
    Thank you ,

    Thank you so much for super quick reply.
    My team member Left function   LEFT (CsuomterNum, 4) = $CustomerNumber and yes,  it worked

  • Perform Search without first logging into OCS?

    Is it possible to configure Ultrasearch to allow users to perform a Web search without having to first login?
    I'm using Ultrasearch as part of OCS and each time I try to send a query string as POST data to the search page, I am asked to login. Same if I'm just trying to access the search form. I'm hoping to leverage Ultrasearch to allow our users to search our intranet (developed in-house) without requiring them to login to OCS.
    Thanks!

    Hi Rob,
    enable guest login n BIP

  • Regex: searches for first letter in word return all letters

    I want to init-cap the words in a sentence, and I use the pattern "\\b[a-z]" to search for the first letter of each word. However, it actually matches all the letters, so that the entire sentence is capitalized. If I reverse the pattern to look for the last letter of each word, "[a-z]\\b", then only the last letter is capitalized as expected.
    Is this a bug or a misunderstanding of regular expressions on my part?
    Here's my code:
    String s = "this is a test";
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\b[a-z]");
    Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    boolean result = m.find();
    while(result) {
    m.appendReplacement(sb, m.group().toUpperCase());
    result = m.find();
    m.appendTail(sb);
    System.out.println(sb.toString());

    It capitalizes only the first letter of words for me. Try getting the latest version of the JDK.

  • STARTS SEARCH ON FIRST LETTER

    When I try to do a file search using Spotlight or using the window file search feature, the system does not give me a chance to type the whole word and starts searching on the first letter. It will not allow me to stop the search until it is completed or I have to quit the application. Is there anyway to type in a whole word or file name before searching? My only alternative has been to keep the MAC OS 9 Find File application on my dock which gives me exactly what I want after MAC OS 9 boots up. Find File gives me a list of files to scroll through instead of trying to figure out if the file is a document, movie, music, pdf, attachment, and then having to search these subheadings for the file. Is there a simple find file application for Tiger where I can type in a word and get a list of file names instead of all of these subheadings?

    Hi Marcia,
    You might want to try a little app called Laserlight:
    http://mysite.verizon.net/oneleftfoot/laserlight/
    It's a simple little program that presents a search box that won't start searching until you hit return. It then passes the search string to spotlight and the search carries on as normal.
    It's totally free, so give it a try and see how you get on with it.
    All the best,

  • Country list dropdown search by first letter doesn't work for some countries in the list

    Hi,
    We have this issue with the country list search in Travel Request with the drop down list when user is trying to choose the country by entering the first letter say C for Canada (finds Canada in the list) it works for the countries from A to O  and  doesn't work from P to Z.
    It is NW7.31 portal
    What seems to be the problem ?

    Hi Denis
    Get them to take a look at this wiki page:
    http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/x/2oQCFQ
    It lists the latest notes for your basis version and the notes are usually cumulative which means if you apply the latest notes, it will bring in the pre-requisites and earlier notes too.
    Hope it helps you Denis.
