Search feature not finding all correct results

Hi Everyone. Need some help please. I have just edited my sons soccer game. I have marked all 10 goals as favourites and added goal as a keyword for each goal.
I now want to search all goals. I click in the in the little search box at the top of the event browser and type goal. Now the result only brings back to me 9 goals. I have found the one that is droping from the search and check if the keyword goal was added. It was.
Why is the search not recognising the 10th goal even with keyword added?

I can't open FCP X for the moment, but I'm pretty sure you need to click the magnifying glass rather than type into the box to search keywords.
This opens up a much more powerful search box. Deselect the 'Type' search that comes up by default, then click the triangle in the little box on the right to modify your search.
Deselect all the ticked boxes (there's a selection to do this) and then tick keywords.
Type 'Goals' into the box and all your goals will be there. If you want to include more keywords, you need to decide whether you want 'Any' or 'All'.

Mail subject search is not finding All copies why?

mail 6.3 using a subject search (in the small spotlght) - is not finding All copies in my folders and subfolders why? I have done indexing for all mail folders and that did not correct it.

Are you really still running OS X version 10.7.4 as your post indicates above? I don't believe Mail 6.3 would run correctly on Lion.
If not, and you're really running Mountain Lion, then I suggest Mailbox > Rebuild on the box(es) / folder(s) not working correctly.

Finder search does not find all files

Hi,
I am doing a search in Finder and files missing from the results.
I am searching for "silverlight" in "This Mac" in the "File Name". The results give me one file "Silverlight.plugin" in the following folder "Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins".
However there is also another folder in "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Microsoft" with name "Silverlight".
Also there is another folder in "Macintosh HD/Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Microsoft" with name "Silverlight".
Why finder does not find in search these files/folders? Any idea?
Thanks

this happens because system files are not included in default finder searches. I'm not sure why it even found the first file. you may have started the search from inside the main library folder somewhere.
anyway, to include system files in a search do the following
in finder enter command+f to start a finder search. click on "Kind", hold the mouse button, scroll and click on "other". in the resulting popup select "system files" and include them in the search. then all instances of Silverlight will be found.

General searches do not find all applicable files

all files meeting a search category in Finder do not show up in the results. Even when I search for a known specific file by the exact name it does not show up when searching for it in Finder. The same thing happens when I search in Adobe Bridge. any ideas?

Has anyone else noticed that iBooks search does not find all information that should be located for a specific search criteria?

I am converting a novel to ePub format. I am currently in the process of adding "end notes" to the book. Each will have a flag embedded at the proper spot in the various chapters that is coded as "[See End Note xx]" where xx is a one or two digit number. Each of the flags has those words surrounded by the HTML that links the flag to the proper end note at the back of the book.
To verify that I have indeed inserted correctly each end note, I copy the book's epub file from my desktop PC to the iPad. I then do a search in iBooks to locate each occurance of "[See End Note" or just "End Note". I should see each of these flags listed. Last night it would list all of them except "[See End Note 28]"! If I did a search for "28", it would appear.
I then copied just the flag itself ("[See End Note 28]") without the associated linkage HTML to the back of the document, and placed the copy just in front of the paragraph that contains it. Neither of the two flags were found.
I then duplicated just the flags for end notes 27 and 29 which the search function had located. I placed the copies surrounding the copied flag for 29. The result was as follows in the text of the book:
[See End Note 27]
[See End Note 28]
[See End Note 29]
Although 27 and 29 were still being shown in their normal places, none of the above three inserted (test) flags was displayed by the search!
It seemed that the iBooks search goes through part of the book, but cannot take the whole book in one piece. It then continues, but leaves a gap that is not scanned per the search criteria. To test that theory, I removed the entire text of several chapters that did not contain any end notes. I then loaded this modified copy of the book into the iPad. When I ran a search using "End Note", all of the flags (including the special test flags) were displayed. The list included the "missing" "[See End Note 28]" that cannot be found if the all of the chapters have their text!
I shall be calling Apple in a few minutes to again attempt to get the apparent "bug" (aka design or coding flaw) removed such that it does not
impact the ability of the iPad to be a useful tool.

Package feature not finding all Links

I have a master Illustrator file which in turn has individual illustrator files placed in the master. The master is then placed in an InDesign document. When the package feature is used, the placed files to the master Illustrator file are not placed in the links folder, only the files directly linked to the InDesign document are included. Now I know it can work this way, I have a rather large project completed this way. I was wondering if the files have to be in a specific hierarchy to work right? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

Thanks for the reply.
I could see that of ID, but it is the Preflight feature that has found them in the past. As I say, I just got through with a project that when I did the Preflight Package it placed all 15 of the graphics linked to the master .ai file in the package's links folder along with the master .ai file.
This latest project didn't find them and one thing I see is that the files are in a different hierarchy in the file structure. The last project had all of the linked .ai files in the same folder as the master .ai file and the latest one does not. I guess I need to do some experimenting.

Global search does not find all relevant emails

Hi
Some emails do not appear in global searches or filters when they should appear. For example, there is a starred email from person X in folder Y which is not found when I search for person X, or click on my filter which identifies starred emails. In effect the email is hidden from searches and filtering.
I've rebuilt the global database by deleting the sqlite file, but the email is still hidden from searches or filters.
A bit more information about my set up; I use Exquilla to interface with my Outlook account and Nostalgy for putting emails in folders. I tend to keep emails in quite a complex folder structure, e.g. lots of folders inside folders.
Thanks

File search does not find all matches.

If I ask for a file whose name begins with "WXYZ" on <Boot Volume> or "This Mac", matching files in subfolders of /Library do not appear. The only files that appear are in my user directory or on external disks ("This Mac" only, of course.) If, on the other hand, I chose to search /Library, the files are found.

Mail search feature not working

Not a good day today but to top it off, my Mail search feature doesn't seem to be working. In the past I've praised OSX Mail search features and enjoyed the instant results all whilst bashing the inop feature Outlook and Notes try to utilize. I'm afraid to say the OSX Lion Mail search feature is completely non-functional. As I was searching for this issue through the support topics, I noticed this very topic appear then quickly disappear. I couldn't duplicate the search again for anything. Hmm.
Also, what's the dealy with opening a PDF in Mail with Preview and your last 5 PDF's open as well? Uncool. And I want Safari to open with my Home page, not the last page I visited.
At least the Spotlight will still identify the messages I'm wrangling for.
No need to reply... just need to vent a bit.

A lot of things are broken in LION. Not recommended for professionals (only iPad users).
But here's a way to make better use of Mail Search:
In the new Mac LION MAIL app, it's not apparent that you can search for any part of any email address the way you could before with any previous OS, for when you type partial email text in the MAIL search field, it simply gives you a drop-down list of wrong or limited suggestions and none of the suggestions are email addresses, but people's names. I don't want to search by name, I want to search by email address. (Maybe I'm the only one who does this.) If two different email addresses have the same associated name (which I have), it chooses the wrong one and searches for the wrong email address!
But there is a way:
1) Select the mailbox you want to search (if any).
2) Type in the search field:
          to: any_string ["return" or "enter"]
          OR
          from: any_string ["return" or "enter"]
3) Your entry will change from this:
to this:
4) Notice that after you press "return" or "enter", your "to:" (or "from:") becomes a pull-down-menu button and the MAIL's silly choices go away. If you click the button, you get this:
and you can change your choice.
3) Strangely, "to:" or "from:" MUST be ALL lowercase for this change to take place. (It will still work if "To:" and "FroM:" are all or part uppercase, but the change to a menu button will not occur.)
4) On the menu bar below the toolbar, you will see the places to search ("All…Selected mailbox…Inbox…Drafts…Sent…Flagged")
Hello Lara_Croft.
Again, this time with your original fix. This works for me.. big help until Apple gets this squared away.

YIKES! "Searching" & Spotlight not finding

OK, I'm scared. I copy the name of a file. I do a Cmd + F and paste the name of the file into the "Search for" field. Nothing. I have only one criteria, "Kind" "Any" I ask to search the directory it's in. No response. I remove and add the directory to the parameters continually. No response.
Spotlight not finding it either.
I try others. Same thing. Spotlight preferences are factory default and include "Music."
I have two files with the string I am looking for, one in a directory on my hard drive, not locked, I read and write to it daily. The other file is on a CD.
I ask to search both places. Spotlight finds the string on the CD but not on my hard drive. I started trying other files in other directories and I'm getting the same thing in the Finder Search. Spotlight not as bad, but still has problems.
This string is "stoddard." The file on the drive is actually located in two different directories and is labeled "1.01_stoddard.mp3" The one that it does find on the CD is "AUGUST 6 STODDARD.mp3"
Help me. This is scaring me. I've got tons of people I am converting to Mac. This is not going to go over well.
I've been looking and I just can't find any options or parameters I should be checking that would affect this. This is pretty simple stuff.
I tried looking for envelope.rtf which is in a completely different directory and Search did not find it though Spotlight did.

My results are disturbing. My eMac G4 doesn't seem to have a problem with finding files. My G5 definitely does. And it has a few other funny glitches, like a couple of my Mail filters are wonky. I've set up hundreds of them and there are three that are just plain stuck and send the mail to unexpected places or don't filter at all.
Since the Spotlight glitch is intermittent, I don't think we can set up any benchmarks between us. Because Spotlight might not find envelope.rtf on my system, doesn't mean it won't find the filename on yours.
What you need to do is search for various files on your system and see if Spotlight finds them.
I doubt this is a string recognition problem, it's likely a search program error at the processor level. Probably something to do with the logic that makes the search appear speedy. Likely there's something in that programming that "falls out" when G5 is processing.
Apple is ****-bent on getting the G6 out there pronto. These anomalies may be why.
-Wm
Your results are strange.
If I try using your "1.01_stoddard.mp3" filename I
find the file with the Spotlight menu, the Spotlight
window and a smart folder.
If I delete the file, then search for it again
"1.01_stoddard.mp3" it is, of course not found, then
I create a new file and rename it to
"1.01_stoddard.mp3" Spotlight finds it immediately.
Do you want to try to debug this here in the
discussion?

Link Checker not finding all errors

Hi. I am running the link checker, but its not
finding all my errors - does anyone know why? -- for example -
links like "/products/index.html should be "../products/index.html
-- but link checker is not flagging this as wrong.
Also the opposite - if I have this "../../products/index.html
- and it should be : "../products/index.html - it doesnt know its
wrong.
Help - I really wanted to implement my new site tomorrow -
but I cant trust the results I am seeing right now.

Either link will work fine. Both point to EXACTLY THE SAME
PLACE, assuming
your file doing the linking is one folder level below the
root. The former
link is called a root relative link since it describes the
path to the
linked file from the root of the site no matter where the
linking page is.
The latter is called a document relative link because it
describes the path
to the linked file from the location of the current page.
Neither will be
flagged by the link checker, since both could be right.
> Also the opposite - if I have this
"../../products/index.html - and it

Is this a real or a made up example? If you have the former,
and it should
be the latter, then your site is not properly defined.

It's a cockpit error, I believe. To read more about

Exchange 2010 Outlook search can not find messages older than 1 year

Hello,
I have an exchange 2010 sp2 server. One of my users complains that Outlook search can not find any message older than 1 year. He have all his 5 year mails in the mailbox, but looks like search engine cant recognise them :(
Any thoughts? thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please verify that indexing is complete in Outlook:
1. In Outlook, click in the Search box.
2. Click the Search tab, click Search Tools, and then click Indexing Status.
3. When the Indexing Status dialog appears, you should see the following:
Outlook has finished indexing all of your items.
0 items remaining to be indexed.
Besides, please use the Search-Mailbox cmdlet to check if you can get messages older than one year in this user mailbox.
Best regards,

Edit find/change (not finding all instances)

I am using Edit>Find/Change to change a brand name in a document — however, this feature is not finding ALL instances of the brand name. I am having to manually/visually edit through the entire doc. Suggestions?

Hi,
You could check whether "Case sensitive" is switched on in your find/change dialog. Also check that your find format options are cleared. Click the "More Options" button if the find format options are not showing in the dialog.

TABLE(CAST()) function not returning the correct results in few scenarios.

I am using TABLE(CAST()) operation in PL/SQL and it is returning me no data.
Here is what I have done:
1.     Created Record type
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE target_rec AS OBJECT
target__id          NUMBER(10),
target_entity_id NUMBER(10),
dd           CHAR(3),
fd           CHAR(3),
code      NUMBER(10),
target_pct      NUMBER,
template_nm VARCHAR2(50),
p_symbol      VARCHAR2(10),
pm_init          VARCHAR2(3),
target_name     VARCHAR2(20),
targe_type     VARCHAR2(30),
target_caption     VARCHAR2(30),
sort_order      NUMBER (4)
2.     Created Table type
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE target_arr AS TABLE OF target_rec
3.     Created Stored procedure which accepts parameter of type target_arr and runs the Table(Cast()) function on it.
     Following is the simplified form of my procedure.
     PROCEDURE get_target_weights
     p_in_template_target IN target_arr,
     p_out_count          OUT NUMBER,
     IS
     BEGIN
          SELECT count(*) into p_out_count
     FROM TABLE(CAST(p_in_template_target AS                     target_arr)) arr;
     END;
I am calling get_target_weights from my java code and passing p_in_template_target with 10140 records.
Scenario 1: If target_pct in the last record is 0, p_out_count returned from the procedure is 0.
Scenario 2: If target_pct in the last record is any other value(say 0.01), p_out_count returned from the procedure is 10140.
Please help me understand why the Table(Cast()) is not returning the correct results in Scenario 1. Also adding or deleting any record from the test data returns the correct results (i.e. if keep target_pct in the last record as 0 but add or delete any record).
Let me know how can I attach the test data I am using to help you debugging as I don’t see any Attach file button on Post Message screen on the forum.

I am not able to reproduce this problem with a small data set. I can only reproduce with the data having 10140 records.
I am not sure if this is the memory issue as adding a new record also solves the problem.
This should not be the error because of wrong way of filling the records in java as for testing purpose I just saved the records which I am sending from java in a table. I updated the stored procedure as well to read the data from the table and then perform TABLE(CAST()) operation. I am still getting 0 as the output for scenario 1 mentioned in my last mail.
Here is what I have updated:
1.     Created the table target_table
CREATE Table target_table
target_id          NUMBER(10),
target_entity_id NUMBER(10),
dd           CHAR(3),
fd           CHAR(3),
code      NUMBER(10),
target_pct      NUMBER,
template_nm VARCHAR2(50),
p_symbol      VARCHAR2(10),
pm_init          VARCHAR2(3),
target_name     VARCHAR2(20),
target_type     VARCHAR2(30),
target_caption     VARCHAR2(30),
sort_order      NUMBER (4)
2.     Inserted data into the table : The script has around 10140 rows. Pls let me know how can I send it to you
3.     Updated procedure to read data from table and stored into variable of type target_arr. Run Table(cast()) operation on target_arr and get the count
PROCEDURE test_target_weights
IS
     v_target_rec target_table%ROWTYPE;
     CURSOR wt_cursor IS
     Select * from target_table;
     v_count NUMBER := 1;
     v_target_arr cws_target_arr:= target_arr ();
     v_target_arr_rec target_rec;
     v_rec_count NUMBER;
     BEGIN
     OPEN wt_cursor;
     loop
          fetch wt_cursor into v_target_rec; -- fetch data from table into local           record.
          exit when wt_cursor%notfound;
          --move data into target_arr
          v_target_arr_rec :=                     cws_curr_pair_entity_wt_rec(v_target_rec target_id,v_target_rec. target_entity_id,
                    v_target_rec.dd,v_target_rec.fd,v_target_rec.code,v_target_rec.target_pct,
     v_target_rec.template_nm,v_target_rec.p_symbol,v_target_rec.pm_init,v_target_rec.template_name,
     v_target_rec.template_type,v_target_rec.template_caption,v_target_rec.sort_order);
          v_target_arr.extend();
          v_target_arr(v_count) := v_target_arr_rec;
          v_count := v_count + 1;
     end loop;
     close wt_cursor;
     -- run table cast on target_arr
     SELECT count(*) into v_rec_count
     FROM TABLE(CAST(v_target_arr AS target_arr)) arr;
     DBMS_OUTPUT.enable;
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_out_count ' || v_rec_count);
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('v_count ' || v_count);
END;
Output is
p_out_count 0
v_count 10140
Expected output
p_out_count 10140
v_count 10140

Date difference is not showing the correct result for date interval

Hi Expert,
                I've created two formula variable one for PO date and another for GR date
while i am taking the date difference of GR and PO date for single PO date selection
it showing me correct result , but while i am taking the date interval for PO date it not
showing the correct result.
eg: PO date: 01.01.2010   for a particular PO and Gr date is suppose 03.01.2010, 06.01.2010
      it showing the result 2 and 5.
But if i am taking date interval for PO date:
eg: 01.01.2010 - 31.01.2010
PO date: 10.01.2010 and GR date are suppose 15.01.2010, 22.01.2010 and 30.01.2010
it showing me 14, 21 and 29
