Search feature of this forum

Anybody else notice how extremely bad the search "feature" of
this forum is? I type in one or two word phrases (such as
cfdocument align) and it almost always returns zero results
(probably 95% of the time, the other 5% are usually nothing helpful
or remotely related either). So either nobody has ever typed the
word cfdocument or align in this forum, or the search feature just
plain sucks.
Just had to vent....

Below is info from the Help/Search section that may make your
searching more productive. I get plenty of hits using
cfdocument or align
but nothing on
cfdocument and align.
Hope this helps!
From the Help/Search link:
Search Tips
The Search feature of the Adobe Forums is slightly different
from some 'natural language' search engines such as Google. You can
use Boolean logic (and, or and parentheses to group sections of
your query), which will search all keywords.
Search Example: Dog or Cat not (Bird and Cow)
These keywords will try to find messages with the word Dog or
Cat, but don’t contain both the words Bird and Cow. Note- if
the keywords you're searching on include either the word 'and' or
the word 'or', you may want to remove those words from the search
term so your search is not unnecessarily restricted.

  • Bug on search function in this forum

    When i try to use the search function on this forum, i get the blank page with this message : The page caused an ESI processing exception

    I have always the error too, but this error is now since more than one month.
    Is there nobody at oracle.com to correct this problem??
    Or does nobody knows of the error?
    Thats a really damn error.
    You cannot search for something and so you need
    to make for everything a new question!
    Hoping that somebody correct this problem!!!

    Good afternoon,
    We have temporarily disabled search and status levels to improve performance of Apple Discussions. We expect this to be a temporary measure.

  • Firefox search plugin for this forum

    Hey!
    I made a Firefox search plugin for this forum:
    http://cip.uni-trier.de/zaplatynski/moz-search/
    I am just too lazy for the two clicks to get the search form! 
    Note: The installation instructions apply just for the Uni Trier search plugins... I need there a redirection page.
    I hope it will be usefull for everyone. I plan to make one for the AUR too.
    So long,
    Marian
    P.S. If I get some time, I will make a nicer icon...

    Finally, I made it available:
    http://cip.uni-trier.de/zaplatynski/moz … linux.html
    Reviewed all search plugins by others and adapted them if needed.
    Please post any comments bugs. I will do some plugins for google in the next time.
    Greetings,
    Marian

  • Can't find search function for this forum?

    Am I blind or something, or is this site working as well as soundtrack pro? Where is the search bar?

    I agree!
    I've just joined this forum to look for specific answers, and searching is the first and +most necessary+ thing I want to do...
    How is not having this feature improving the performance of the forum? Is the hope that Apple will put vast numbers of users off by being annoyingly non-functional and nonsensical?!!

  • Search Default for this Forum?

    Is there anyway to set a default to make searches of this forum more quickly accessed?
    Seems moronic to have to continually specify the forum when this is the only one I ever use?
    Dan Pride

    Yes, I can confirm that behaviour, the search of the forum is useless.

  • Search tips for this forum

    How do I search for "Account accountProxy" in this forum and have only messages returned with this exact phrase.
    Currently, doing a search on "Account accountProxy" returns records with these two words not next to each other.

  • Search Function in this Forum

    Using Chrome 10.
    Search the term "contribute"
    0 results returned.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    .harper

    Yes. Everyone is.
    They've been doing some work on the back in of the forums.
    I noticed that read-tracking is back on today so you may want to give the search function a try again.

  • Did Apple remove the search function from this forum?

    I'm trying to find out if a topic has already been posted here, but I can't seem to find the Search Discussions function, which I'm certain used to be on the right of the screen.
    Did Apple remove this functionality from the Discussions forum?

    It's been temporarily disabled while they address some issues we're having with the forums lately.

  • Annoying new "feature" of this forum input page

    It may be just my machine but it only appears to happen on the forum post message/reply page.
    I'll respond to a question and the entry page will come up, can select quote and the original question will appear as a quote.  Start typing an answer and hit enter to get a new line and the message gets sent.  Appears to happen randomly.  Quite often if I mistype and hit backspace a couple of times its sends.
    I have to believe it's something on the page that is running real slow and finally completes as I'm in the middle of typing.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Any chance this issue will get addressed soon?
    It is VERY annoying and happens all the time between 10 and 20 seconds after starting a response.
    The cursor appears to move somewhere else.  Strangely you can't put the cursor back by clicking in the body area of the response but you can click on the title and then the response body to get it back.

  • DM uninstall - searched this forum, tried everything!

    I have searched everything on this forum and everything I could find on the internet.  I am running Vista and I cannot get rid of the stupid DM software. Everytime I log into one of my user accounts (not all) I get an installer notification "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD ROM or other removable disk that is not available.  Insert the Blackberry Desktop Software 4.6 disk and click OK."  The program does show up in my Windows Installer (DM 4.6) again, only for this one account, but when I try to unistall it, I get the same garbage message.
    There are very specific instructions on this forum and many other places, and I think I have tried them all.  I have searched the registry and found no evidence of any remnants to this program.  I have tried to reinstall the software and unistall again.  I have tried every registry cleaner I can find.  Still, I get the same message.
    I really don't want to reinstall my OS for this stupid application, since other than the annoyance, I see no evidence of another problem.  I guess I could grin and bare it, but I don't think I should have to. Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    If you have the CD go to add/remove programs in Vista and try to repair the installation.
    Be sure to have the full Admin rights. Then we can remove it cleanly.
    Did you install Media manager as well? There are some Roxio KB's as well.
    I think you want to read KB1720 first the Windows Installer problem.
    Otherwise I think the installation was not done with the correct UAC admin rights.
    Let us know how it goes!
    Thanks,

  • Has this forum been hacked?

    I just filled out a survey which opened in a window when I entered the forum. There was an Adobe logo in the window and I had no suspicious sites open in my browser. After finishing the survey, in which I spent valuable time giving feedback about how the search features of this site don't work, the survey said "Our Website Survey Is Temporarily Unavailable" and that I should send an email to a cryptic email address:
    [email protected]
    This is extremely suspicious. Wow... even trying to get help is making things worse.

    No, Foresee has been doing random surveys on this site.
    Not sure what net glitch caused the unavailable message (but we've sure had a lot of them on the forums and adobe.com lately).

  • Is there a way to search this forum???

    i want to search for specific topics but don't see any search button on this page... is there a way to do it without scrolling through every page looking for a particular topic?

    This forum definitely needs a search feature!
    And, my God, there are so many new threads being posted that all the "old" ones (i.e. 2 minutes old) get shoved behind the back pages!

  • The ipad safari on facebook will echo characters on the search feature.  Please fix this STUPID error!  At the least, investigate it and come to a suitable response.  Stupid things like this are making me lose faith and interest in Apple products.
