Search for word/phrase by ctrl+shift+F

ctrl+shift+F
One can enter here  the file/folder path the search for word/phrase should be made.
But length of this control element is really limited.
If the chosen path is very long, with lot of folder levels, longer than the control element is capable to show it,
the path string is truncated. Truncation in its middle part.
Nobody is able to see how exactly the path is, after it has been shortened.
And now, please imagine that there are several similar paths on the disc.
They differ by theirs middle section only.
Now assume the search needs 3 hours.
1. After 3 hours of search run user can't say which folder of all similar folders he has chosen for last search operation.
After search completes user is no able to check, which path the search ran in.
2. If new search in some other folder but in a folder located close to the previous one is aimed  the user
has to follow the whole path from the disc root - job intensive task.
Adobe Reader should use the previous search path as start point of new search path selection.
The full-feature product Adobe Acrobat probably also affected.

Hi vmartin01,
I tried to check at my end and it works fine at my end.

Ajlan Huda.

  • Search for a phrase with RH8

    Hello,
    I use RH8 to produce WebHelp. I thought that we should be able to search for a phrase by enclosing the search terms in double quotes. However, I have never been able to use the double quotes to look for a phrase. It still returns topics that have both words in it - but not necessarily next to each other. Am I just confused on this issue or am I missing a step?
    Thanks,
    Julie

    You're not alone. That's the way Rh8 works.
    I just tested both 8 and 10 using a topic with
    Red rabbit
    and
    My rabbit is red
    in the content.
    In Rh8 every instance of red and rabbit was highlighted when I searched "red rabbit". In Rh10, only red rabbit was found.

  • Search for a phrase in quotation marks returns extraneous results

    I'm searching for help with a specific error. I used Advanced Search to limit the search to the iTunes forums and searched for this phrase:
    "This computer is not authorized"
    The result is 199 messages, most of which do not include that specific phrase.
    I thought Search was simply ignoring the quotation marks, but when I remove them, the result is 356 messages.
    Searching this forum, I found someone had already reported this problem. I couldn't reply because that thread was opened *two years ago*, and new posts are blocked because it's archived. So I'm reopening this important issue.

  • How do I search for a phrase in a published Help?

    This is probably a very basic question, but I've been unable
    to search for a phrase in a published Help. For instance, if I want
    to search for the phrase:
    subject information, I've tried "subject information",
    (subject information), subject NEAR information. I've received the
    same list of "hits" for all of these, but when I search for the
    phrase in any of the topics, it doesn't seem to exist.
    I am using Adobe RoboHelp HTML 6 and use the WebHelp layout.
    Thanks for any help - this is making me (and the users)
    pretty crazy.

    Basically you have two options.
    1] Use ZoomSearch as described on my site. It is low cost and
    gives much improved search options.
    2] Upgrade to RH8 as that introduced phrase searching in
    webhelp.

  • Unable to search for words in a pdf document

    I am using Adobe Reader Ver 10.1.1 (All updates)
    I have a pdf document in which I am unable to search for words. No words in the document are found even though they do exist. If I copy a word from within the document and paste it into the search criteria then instead of getting the word that I copied, I get substitute characters and it can in fact find these characters as the word being searched.
    The document is a catalog and can be downloaded from the following URL.
    http://www.carbatec.com.au/getcatalogue?zenid=d1cuvbat0ois0g37r0r33vnah1
    I will appreciate any help as to why I cannot search for words in the document.

    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.

  • Can't search for words anymore after saving PDFs in Preview

    Hi everyone,
    I would love to use Preview for my day-to-day use of previewing PDFs + highlighting + setting annotations. However, once I have saved the pdf with Preview I can not search for words anymore. If I search for one letter only, I would get cryptic hits like "7;%! 2%8%P%8!".
    I am not sure, but I guess when preview saves the pdf using a Quartz PDF context, something happens with the index, or the underlying the font structuring.
    Does anyone have had experience with these kinds of troubles?
    Thanks in advance,
    Heinrich

    Hi, thanks for answering quickly, and the heads up on that other thread.
    It undoubtedly has to do with the annotations or mark ups (the last, in my case).
    In the linked-to thread they end by suggesting that it's because it's has "commenting not allowed" when you see it
    using Adobe Reader, File > Properties > Security says Commenting: Not Allowed.
    However, some documents with "commenting not allowed set in Adobe Reader I can highlight or annotate fine, without it messing up after saving.
    Besides, any document I save as pdf even from Word, will say commenting not allowed in Adobe Reader. So if even my own documents are not highlight- or annotate-able without garbling the text, what documents would these functions be for, then?
    I think what somebody mentioned in the other thread about character encodings hold some truth, I see it in documents in Danish with æ ø and å (however, not all!), but not in English-only docs (yet. Have any of you?).
    Thanks in advance,
    - Alexander

  • PDF Search: Escape chars / search for words containing dots

    Hello,
    i'm trying to do a search for ip adresses in a pdf document - eg for "10.100.0.1" - but it seems that adobe reader doesnt cope with the included dots.
    Is there a way to search for words containing dots? Maybe some way of escaping the dot?
    Thanks,
    Moritz

    Reader can find dots just fine. There's probably something going on with your file, like font issues or spaces between the text, or something like that.

  • Searching for words in Album names

    My iPhoto search function is unable to find words that are in the names of newly-created Albums. It can find words in the names of albums I created some time back but not in new one.
    This is what I do:
    1) Select several photos.
    2) Push the plus sign to create a new album.
    3) Give the album a unique name like "dazzler"
    4) Select the tab to view all photos in the library.
    6) Do a search for "dazzler", but nothing comes up.
    Very strange.
    If I search for words in libraries I created a week ago, they show up fine.
    I've already reindexed Spotlight, restarted, and tried various other general things, all to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matthew

    I can confirm your problem. Report the bug at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html as will I.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • 'Help cannot search for that phrase'

    I am getting the message 'Help cannot search for that phrase' while searching for 'xml' in a chm (generated using RH9). The old CHM (generated using RH8) shows the results for the keyword xml. Is this a known issue? Any workaround to resolve this issue?

    I just tried in a Rh10 project and got the same result in a CHM but not in WebHelp, there the search worked so I suspect it is something in the Microsoft Help Compiler.
    There is a solution if you can upgrade to Rh10. That allows you to generate WebHelp and then convert it to a skinned CHM. I just tried that and there the search worked in the CHM.

  • Need to search for words with similar meaning

    HI,
    I want to search for words which are similar in meaning,
    for example, search with the keyword LIME should give LIME , LEMON etc.
    Can it be done using the inbuilt thesaurus?

    I don't know how similar the example that you provided is to your actual problem.  Synonyms are not the only relations that you can set.  You an also use related terms and hierarchies using broader and narrower terms.  In the following example, I have created citrus as a broader term and created lemon, lime, and orange as narrower terms underneath citrus.  I have them demonstrated how you can query to return all items from the same category that lemon is in, by first finding the broader term citrus above it, then searching for all narrower terms underneath that.  I have included some intermediary results that you don't need to run, just for better understanding of how the query is formed.

  • In Pages document, how do I search for word and view its frequency and page numbers in a sidebar?

    I have a long document and I want to be able to search for certain key words and phrases, and then see how many times they appear in the document and exactly where.  How do I conduct this sort of search and viewing?  In the past, in Pages and Word, I've been able to view my "finds" in a sidebar but I can't figure out how to activate that service anymore.
    Thanks!

    Here is a word frequency concordance Automator Service that works in both versions of Pages. It does not present a page number reference. It is by descending count, and alphabetically, within the repetitive counts as shown in the image here. In any document, you select the text to process, then Menu > Application Name > Services > Frequency. The Service will open TextEdit with the n-pages of scrollable results. It is 16 pt Helvetica Neue for legibility.
    Here is the code:
    on run {input, parameters}
         try
              set mySelection to input as text
              set formatted_result to concordance(mySelection)
              if formatted_result is not null then
                   set textHeading to "Word Frequency List"
                   tell application "TextEdit"
                   activate
                         set NewDoc to make new document with properties {name:"Concordance"}
                         make new paragraph at beginning of text of NewDoc with data textHeading & return
                         make new paragraph at end of text of NewDoc with data formatted_result
                         tell text of NewDoc
                               set font to "Helvetica Neue"
                               set size to 16
                               set color of paragraph 1 to {0, 0, 65535}
                         end tell
                        end tell
              else
                        display dialog with title ¬
                         "No input selected" with icon stop ¬
                          giving up after 15
              end if
         on error errmsg number errnum
                    display alert ¬
                               "AppleScript Error" message errmsg & "[" & errnum & "]" as critical ¬
                                  giving up after 30
         end try
         return input
    end run
    on concordance(mySelection)
    -- Use Ruby to count word frequency and alphabetically sort words
        set rb to ¬
        "selected = String.new\nfreqs = Hash.new(0)\nselected = ARGV.join('  ').gsub(/[,.]/, \"\")\n
         words = selected.split(/[^\\w-]+/)\nwords.each { |word| freqs[word] += 1 }\n
         freqs_sorted = freqs.sort do |a,b|\n\t
         a.last == b.last ? a.first <=> b.first : b.last <=> a.last\nend\n
         freqs_sorted.each { |k,v| printf \"[ %8s ]          %s\", v, k }"
        do shell script "/usr/bin/ruby -e " & rb's quoted form & space & mySelection's quoted form
    end concordance
    Launch /Applications/Automator and choose New Document, then click the Service icon, and then select the Choose button.
    On the left, you will have a list of Libraries from which to choose workflow items. Find Library > Utilities. In the adjacent column, locate the Run Applescript workflow. Click on it, then drag and drop it in the large workflow window to your right.
    At the top, you can select Service receives text in any application. Leave Output replaces selected text unchecked.
    In your Run AppleScript workflow window, you will see AppleScript boilerplate. Click on it and press command+A, then backspace to delete this content. Copy and paste the above code into this Run AppleScript workflow window. Press the Run button in Automator's upper right corner. If (and it should) a TextEdit window pops up, you are good, and you want to press File > Save. A dialog box will pop-up where you can name your Service. I called my Frequency, you may wish to call it something else. Once you have save it, you can exit Automator. Services are deposited in yourlogin directory/Library/Services.
    If you have a Pages document open with text, either select it, or command+a to select the entire document. Now, you select your Service via Pages > Services > Frequency. This will now pop-up a new TextEdit document with the results. If you want to save this new document, you must use option+File to Save as...
