"Search for" results not shown in list view

Hello,
I just installed Leopard a few days ago, and so far I'm very happy.
The ony oddity I noticed today was that "Search for" results (the default searches in the pane on the left side) are not shown in list view.
What happens is this:
- I open a finder window in list view.
- I click e.g. on "Search for" - "All documents".
- The status bar on the bottom of the finder window says e.g. "1789 objects", but the actual window is empty (although it has a very long scrollbar). If I click somewhere in the empty space, info for an actual file is shown - as if the files were there, just shown in white letters on white background. I can also type in the search field, and the status bar updates accordingly, but again, no files show up.
Icon and Coverflow views, however, do work.
- If I switch from Icon to List view, a file list is shown for the fraction of a second, then disappears.
This is not an end-of-the-world-bug for me, but still pretty annoying.
Any idea what might be the problem here? I have no exotic software installed that could cause trouble; just QuickSilver and the usual productivity apps.
Thanks!

The problem disappeared a few launches later . ..

Can't search for someone not in contacts list

I have quite a large contact list, but in android version you cant search? just alphabetical order, you can set to "available only" but no search by name / skypename?

Hey okanagan_mike,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
When composing an email the email address does not need to be added as a contact. To better assist you can you provide some more detail on where you are prompted to add the email address as a contact?
Thank you.

Pictures with GPS-data will not be shown in list-view (PSE 11, Win7)

A lot of pictures of my collection do have GPS-data in EXIF-header. Sometimes they are shown on the world-map, sometimes not. In list-view they are never shown. The list-view knows only locations, which are matched with PSE.
The EXIF-input was made by two different tools (Holux GPS Software and Geosetter 3.4.16).
How can I get the list-view for the saved files without using PSE adding location?

Many modern cameras add GPS co-ordinates and these will usually show in the info panel of the Media module under Camera Data >> GPS
I guess your exif tools work differently to a camera. Are you able to embed the metadata into the image files before importing into PSE Organizer?

Incorrect Sizes Shown in List View

I've been running OS 10.3.9 for a while (old G4 can't run 10.4+) and something that's bothered me since the beginning is the way that OS fails to update the size of folders shown in list view and in the "get info" window. I can literally get info on a folder, close the "get info" window, move some files in or out of the folder and get info again and the size reported in the "get info" window will not change (ie, will be WRONG!).
In the past this has been a minor annoyance but now I am dealing with copying large amounts of data onto multiple external hard drives. I need to have accurate size and file counts so that I can see which folders are the same and which may have changed and need updating.
Has anyone found a solution for this bug?
(before someone suggests using backup software to make the copies, that's what I'm already doing but I want to be able to manually confirm that the files were properly copied. I've only used the backup program a few times and I don't entirely trust it yet)
thanks in advance

I have noticed something akin to this on Tiger when showing folder sizes in list view. My workaround has been to change the window view from list to icon to list again which seems to refresh the display.

How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
Platform: Windows 8 PC
Version: Acrobat 8
If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
Thanks,
Joyce.

Out the gate you've a problem.
The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
"End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
Be well...

Captions Not Showing in List View Though They are There

Ever since I've been using Aperture I've had issues with Captions not showing in List View. The caption is there and shows in the Info Panel but does not show in the List View. I close Aperture, reopen, and it appears in List View. Frustrating when trying to caption thousands of images. You think the image has no caption and when you add a caption it doubles up on what is already there, but could not been seen, and a mess is born. Any one else have this issue? I see it in every Library I create whether on my field laptop or my main desktop Library. Screen shot attached of caption showing in Info pane but not in list view.

Happens all the time. The problem has been there for as long as I can remember, and shows itself in Keywords as well as Captions, maybe others. And yes, it is a major annoyance, and it is a bug IMO. You've found the same workaround I have, namely to restart Aperture.
If you haven't already done so, submit a bug report using Aperture Feedback to add your voice to the list.

Search for a String in a list of files

Could anyone please send me a java sample code which searches for a string from a list of files and returns me the filename and the line in which the Search String was found ?
Thanks in advance
RR

Simple solution would be -
1. Traverse a directory for each file.
2. Read each file using Buffered Reader.
3. Use readLine() method to read a line.
4. Use String.indexOf to see if the data which you are looking for is there in the line or not.
5. If its there then store the line number and file name.
6. When the loop will end you will have list of file name and line number where the data which you are looking for is present.

Search for a not numerical character

Hello,
is it possible to search for a not numerical character in a string?
E.g. # 1237538, the characters '#', ' ' and '' should be deleted.
The answer to this problem should be as fast as possible, because I have very many numbers to edit.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
<u><b>Finding Character Strings</b></u>
To search a character field for a particular pattern, use the SEARCH statement as follows:
SEARCH <c> FOR <str> <options>.
The statement searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. If successful, the return code value of SY-SUBRC is set to 0 and SY-FDPOS is set to the offset of the string in the field <c>. Otherwise, SY-SUBRC is set to 4.
The search string <str> can have one of the following forms.
<str> - Function
<pattern> - Searches for <pattern> (any sequence of characters). Trailing blanks are ignored.
.<pattern>. - Searches for <pattern>. Trailing blanks are not ignored.
*<pattern> - A word ending with <pattern> is sought.
<pattern>* - Searches for a word starting with <pattern>.
Words are separated by blanks, commas, periods, semicolons, colons, question marks, exclamation marks, parentheses, slashes, plus signs, and equal signs.
<option> in the SEARCH FOR statement can be any of the following:
ABBREVIATED
Searches the field <c> for a word containing the string in <str>. The characters can be separated by other characters. The first letter of the word and the string <str> must be the same.
STARTING AT <n1>
Searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. The result SY-FDPOS refers to the offset relative to <n1> and not to the start of the field.
ENDING AT <n2>
Searches the field <c> for <str> up to position <n2>.
AND MARK
If the search string is found, all the characters in the search string (and all the characters in between when using ABBREVIATED) are converted to upper case.
Ex.
DATA STRING(30) VALUE 'This is a little sentence.'.
WRITE: / 'Searched', 'SY-SUBRC', 'SY-FDPOS'.
ULINE /1(26).
SEARCH STRING FOR 'X'.
WRITE: / 'X', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'
SEARCH STRING FOR 'itt '.
WRITE: / 'itt ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR '.e .'.
WRITE: / '.e .', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR '*e'.
WRITE: / '*e ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR 's*'.
WRITE: / 's* ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.

Search for SAP notes is very poor

I find the "Search for SAP notes" functionality very poor
I was searching for a setting from a web.xml file
<param-name>SMTPFrom</param-name>
   in application area BOJ* and it came up with nothing
I even searched for
SMTPFrom
   and it still came up with nothing
but if I searched for
email from
then it came up with note number 1308076 which has an extract from the web.xml file I was interested in and even had the very line I searched for but it failed to find
is this very poor search functionality or am I doing something wrong?

I need a few tries to find a note too.
Especially the "Did you mean: ..." function is not working very well.
For example this one. I searched for "registered serverprogram" and it didn´t find anything.
But there was: "Did you mean: registered serverprogrammmmmmmmmm"
erm... yes. Very helpfull.

Searching for sites not web pages

This is not really a Safari question, although I'm using Safari as my browser. If there is a more relevant forum, please let me know.
I want to search for sites, not pages, that contain certain keywords. I'm looking for a variety of items and I want to find a site that sells all of them, not just one or two. So I envisage typing in the name of items A, B, C, D, W, X and up come web sites that contain all of those words.
Is this possible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try the help pages for your favorite search engine. Quotation marks and logical operators might help you structure your query. You might also try entering your search terms into a TextEdit document before you past them into your search engine, so you can keep track of the queries that are more successful and build on those.
For example, a popular search engine that rhymes with 'frugal' has extensive hints and help available here: http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134479&topic=1221 265&ctx=topic
Of course there are many generalized and specialized search engines available, so if one doesn't do the trick, keep trying others!
Just from practical experience, if you are looking for mass-produced brand new items normally distributed through retail channels and cannot find all of them on Amazon.com, you are probably looking for such specialized or costly items, that one vendor probably won't carry them all.
Some manufacturers still try to sell items through "authorized dealers only": computers, cameras, electronic components, jewelry, exotic cars, weapons, and 'collectibles', so you might not have much success if your search involves any or all of them.

Workflow template not shown in list workflow setting

I created a new list, a new site content type, and new reusable workflow. The site content type is added to the list.
Worked fine at the Dev environment.
Deployed the workflow to UAT environment as WSP file and list as a list template.
In UAT, a new site content type is created and added to the list.
The WSP was activated and feature enabled. But the workflow is not associated with the site content type, instead associating with all site content type.
Then use copy and modify to associate the workflow with the right content type. It works. Save and publish the workflow.
Go to List, Workflow settings, click on Add a Workflow, the workflow template is not shown in the workflow template drop-down. Even when the associated content type is all, the workflow should display in the workflow template drop-down in list workflow settings.
Save and publish the workflow a couple of times, ususally the issue will be resolved. But not this time..
Please help!! Thanks a lot!!

Hi Prabhakar ,
just give a try for following program .
Use program RHMOVE30 - enter object type WS, and your WF number. Use eval path TASKHIER.
Use the dropdown on the request parameter to create a transport request.
When you get the result list, make sure your task is selected for transport then use the option to include it in the Transport.
You should then be able to go to txn SE09 and see your task has been assigned to the transport.
You can then transport your task.

Calendar events do not appear in List view

My events do not show up in List view, but are there in the Day and Month view. What could be causing this problem? (I used to be able to see all my events in List view.)

Some contacts can be found by search but don't show in list view

A few of my contacts (some of them are favorites) don't show up in the list view in my address book just by looking alphabetically. I can search for them using spotlight or the search field at the top of the list and there they are. Why is that? Is it a bug?

Nah. None of those that I looked through on the first 8 pages or so BUT I checked Address Book on my computer and I have the same quantity of contacts listed on my computer as on the phone under "all groups." So, I went hunting around for the missing contacts and, although the last name starts with "Sw," they were listed at the top of all the "S" contacts. Why? Beats me. Makes NO sense at all. They are listed in proper order on my computer. They are marked as "favorite" contacts, but so are some of my other contacts and this behavior doesn't happen with those.

How can I: Search for files "not in catalog"

Is there a way to search for files/photos on my hard drive that are *NOT* already in my catalog?
(a) I can do a mass search to find all photos on my hard drive.
(b) And there is a reconnect feature - for all entries in catalog with a missing/invalid link, look for the file that matches best.
But I'd like to have Elements find photos that I have not added to the catalog.
That is, do (a), but check each one to see if it is already added.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,
-ceej

What you want to achieve by finding those files?
In folder view you can see the folder which have no media files in Organizer.
If you import all the files form all the drives on your system, by deafult you will see files just imported into catalog. That means, just after import ou will have the files which were not in your catalog :-)
I know my answer could be confusing for you, but it will make sense if you know what happens after import in Organizer...

Searching for apps not showing the desired apps

On 6/28/2012 at around 4 PM EST, I searched for the app "Chrome" on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. I wasn't shown the Chrome browser in the search results. However, when I search for the same app on iTunes on my mac, I can find that app. I don't want to synch my phone to my comupter just to install this app. Any idea why might this be happening. This isn't the first time, it has happened before too. BTW my account is US iTunes based account.

But this issue always happens, whenever there is a new app. I have to wait for a day or two or install it by synching the phone to my mac. I just want to throw it out there, so that I know if this happens to others or just me.
