Search Forum - box looks garbled in Safari

The Apple Discussions webpage has a "Search Forum" box that looks a bit garbled on Safari 3.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. Everything else looks as intended.

Welcome To  Discussions mark!
You will find additional info in the Topics linked to below which I found using the Search function!

  • Irony: Why can't Safari render the Search Forum box on this page correctly?

    I've tried loading the Apple Discussions page on several different Macs, and the Search Forum box is never rendered correctly. It looks like there is a search box inside a box, and looks ugly.
    It looks more normal on Firefox.

    HI,
    Despite the aesthetics, it has no adverse effect on search results. The forum is supported by Jive software, not Apple.

    It may have no adverse effect on the search results, but it gives a poor impression and ultimately reflects badly on Apple and their Safari web browser... especially when other web browsers manage to render the page perfectly well.
    That the forum is powered by 3rd-party software is hardly mitigation and, if anything, only reinforces the irony mentioned by the original poster.

  • Search forum on right of page

    Even though I have a new Mac, whenever I start to enter a term in the search forum box on the right of the page, I get a drop down of six old searches (from over two years ago).
    How do I get stop the old search terms showing as a drop down?
    Thanks.

    Are you using Safari? If you click the magnifying glass in the search box, you should see your old searches and an option to clear at the bottom.
    If you are using Firefox, you can use the "Clear Recent History" command, select Search and Form data and change the time from "last hour" to "everything". The problem with that is it will clear all your search and form data, not just from Apple Discussions, so hopefully you are using Safari.

  • Safari 4: Search Forum input messed up

    Just installed Safari 4. The Search Forum field in these forums looks weird. There seem to be two fields, on superimposed on the other. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

    Hi Richard
    This has been a GUI bug in Safari since S4 Beta came out. Strange that Apple wouldn't have fixed it yet. Old adage about the shoemaker and his shoes.

  • Safari 4 displays incorrect the apple discussion search forum textbox

    The Search Forum textbox on the right displays double in Safari 4.0 while its ok with Firefox.
    E.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9606505#9606505

    Hi
    That's distorted image file appeared with Safari 4 Beta and still hasn't been corrected. There's been other threads reporting it. Maybe Safari 5.

  • The Search Forum "glitch"

    There's a thread going on about the glitch in the Search Forum dialog box. Some users are now going ballistic and having cows over it. It has been around for a very long time now. Why hasn't it been dealt with yet? It's no skin off my nose and I don't see why some would get all obsessed with it but they are apparently.

    This bothers me every time I login. Why wouldn't Apple fix a display glitch that affects their own browser?
    Well, as others have stated earlier, the forum software is not developed, owned, or controlled by Apple. The software vendor will have to correct the code. And before you ask, just because the glitch is not visible with the Firefox browser doesn't mean the code is correct. There are different interpretations as to correct html syntax and how the various rendering engines handle such code. What would be interesting would be to see if the glitch is present when using Google's Chrome browser since Safari and Chrome use the same rendering engine, namely Webkit.
    Still, it is mildly annoying that this glitch hasn't been dealt with. It's been around for a long time. You would think either Apple or the forum software vendor would have taken care of it by now.
    Well, I just performed my own suggested experiment. I downloaded Chrome and the display glitch is there, just like in Safari. So the problem is either the forum software coding or Webkit, either, or, or both.

  • Search forums - please restrict to current forum

    The "search forums" field in the top right of the page currently searches all the forums. It would seem more logical for it to only search forums at the level that the user is currently browsing.
    Alternatively add a "search this forum" field.

    They claim it is updated in the next production release (though I don't have a date for it making it to our site yet).
    >With Jive SBS, the quick search available in the user bar has an option that allows the user to limit the quick search results based upon the container being viewed within the context of the current page. So if looking at Space A, if you type some text in the quick search, there is now a link at the top of the results that can be used to limit the results to only Space A. The same holds true when viewing the profile of a particular user - there is a link at the top of the quick search results allowing the user to limit results to only those by the current user being viewed.
    >Also, on the search page in Jive SBS, the more options sections has been completely redone. It now includes a text field into which you can type the name of a container that you want to limit results to rather than having the select list box from previous versions.

  • The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why?!

    The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why? Eg: It doesnt show all my Sent and Received emails, but it will find an email that I half wrote and deleted. Unsure why or how to explain more fully.
    I also don't understand if I type in "James email" or "J" into the search box and all the J / James stuff appears but it doesn't show the emails I know have been sent and I know are somewhere because I rang "James" up to check, but the search box shows random thing I am NOT looking for, even if I type in fully what I am looking for and test it by typing in full titles of things.
    It also doesn't store all my sent emails in "Sent" box. Confused! I'm not sure if the "Search" box just isn't up to the job or if it is broken / i'm doing something wrong? Maybe the email address I use isn't set up properly?

    This can happen sometimes if the cache is not cleared correctly when items are not deleted from your device.
    The only solution to this is to do a restore to clean out the cache file.

  • Highly frustrated with Outlook 2013 Search People box bugs - Multiple Name Results for Same Contact & Inconsistent Results

    The Outlook 2013 "Search People" box does not function properly. It frequently displays incorrect results or a mess of duplicate results. I've reported previous issues about this and consolidating my posts into one (with screenshots this
    time). Hopefully this message will be forwarded to or seen by the Outlook programmers. It really needs to be fixed.
    Outlook 2010 and other prior versions worked perfectly. You search for name, you get ONE result with the info you're looking for. FAST AND EASY. But with Outlook 2013 Microsoft has created a heck of a mess resulting in huge frustration and productivity loss
    with such simple but important tasks.
    I have hundreds of contacts stored in my Outlook address book, and they all have COMPLETE contact info added. 
    One major issue that I'm experiencing in the new Outlook 2013 is that I now get average of 4 or more duplicate name results appearing for the same contact. And each result contains different and incomplete contact info, making it impossible for me to quickly
    find the basic info I'm looking for. The cause of this issue is that Outlook 2013 now provides results from not only your local address book(s), but it also shows results based  on your email history and social media accounts setup.
    And there's no way to turn this off, or at least specify what folders and/or accounts the People Search box should use.
    To make matters worse, the Microsoft developers conveniently forgot to add some form of an indicator (like a small icon besides each name result in the list)  that clearly indicates what result is from what source. So you must manually click on each
    result one at a time and repeat the search until you locate the correct one.
    For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my local address book called
    Infusionsoft. When I type "Infusionsoft" in the People Search box to quickly find a phone number, Outlook  2013 shows me 7 results with the same name. See the screenshot below:
    As you can see in the screenshot above, every result just says "Infusionsoft", so I have to manually click on each name result one at a time and repeat the process until I find the correct one from my address book. This same thing happens with other
    random contacts.
    From what I can tell, Outlook is pulling results based on  based on recent emails I've received from different people with "@infusionsoft.com" in their email address. So the first result shows "[email protected]" (just the email
    address), the second result shows "[email protected]", the third result shows "[email protected]" and so forth. I don't want Outlook to show all of that. I just want what's in my address book!
    And you would think that the last result would be the correct one from my address book, but no. Sometimes its the 5th result, and other times it's the 3rd or 7th result. So there's no freaking order of things here.
    We simply need the ability to turn off searching of email history and other accounts when using the People Search box. Problem fixed.
    (And please don't tell me that I need to "link" every incorrect result to one main contact. You shouldn't expect everyone to have to tediously link any and all results that appear to a record. ESPECIALLY when 5+ results for each contact appear regularly.)
    ISSUE 2: Some names must be typed in a different way for the Search People to locate them
    Another big issue I'm having with the Search People box is that some name searches don’t show the correct result, unless I search for their names in a different way.
    For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my address book named "Dave Johnson". When I type "Dave Johnson" in the Search People box, one result appears, but it's just his email address, only. It's not the result that's stored in my Outlook address
    book with his phone number, addresses, etc. Screen shot below:
    If I type in Dave's name reverse order (Johnson Dave),  no results are found at all.
    Now if I just type in just"Johnson" all by itself, it finds Dave's correct result (the one stored in my Outlook Address Book). Along with everybody else that has "Johnson" in their name (see screenshot below)...
    I double-checked how I have Dave's name programed in my address book, and it's in there as "Dave Johnson" for both the Full Name and File As fields. 
    Also, the name order shouldn't make any difference when using the People Search Box anyway. Sometimes I can find people by Last Name, First Name or First Name, Last Name. Only with random contacts does it get difficult finding  their info and
    I have to do strange things like this to find them from the People Search box.
    ISSUE 3: Some Search People results only yield an email address only.
    For other random contacts, some search results only yield an email address with no other contact details. But I can open the persons contact card from the address book manually, with the same email address shown! Screenshot below...
    In the screenshot above, I have outlined the Search People box results in red, and the Address Book results in green. You can clearly see that "Robert White" is a contact stored in my local address book with full contact details, but the Search People result
    only shows his email address! Again, it's not consitent. It's hit or miss with different people.
    ISSUE 4: Some results just don't appear at all, but they are in the address book
    Another issue I'm experiencing with the People Search Box is that some people simply  cannot be found. But I can see their contact info just fine if I click on the "People" tab down at the bottom of the page and type in their name in the "Search Contacts"
    field. Why can't the People Search box find certain people? I opened up their contact details and cannot find a single thing  that would prevent them from showing up in results.
    These are clearly serious bugs that need to be fixed. And I'm shocked as to how this got missed--or ignored during alpha and beta testing. I see the "idea" behind the developers having the Search People box search everything outside of the
    address book, but in real world application this causes a heck of a lot of problems & confusion, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
    For technical details, I have Outlook 2013 running on two computers using hosted Exchange 2010. One system is Windows 7 and other is Windows 8. The same problems occur on BOTH computers. As far as my Outlook account setup, I have all contacts stored in the
    main address book (no sub-folders or other folders).
    Can someone help communicate this message to the Outlook developers??? The "Frown" button limits me to 100 characters and one image. There's no way I can communicate this level of detail and steps to duplicate in 100 characters!

    Thanks for your reply.
    1) The instant search boxes in each individual page work just fine. If I am on the People page and type in a name in the "Search Contacts" field, it searches my contacts and displays the results that I want. But I should not have to leave whatever screen
    I'm in to find people now. In Outlook 2010 and earlier versions, I could be on the calendar page and then search for a contact without clicking off the calendar completely. For productivity-sake, it's a huge waste of time and hassle now.
    2) I'm familiar with how contact linking works, and quite frankly it's a huge mess in general. I NEVER create multiple contacts for the same person. I get that Outlook 2013 get confused now when it detects a LinkedIn or Facebook account for the same person
    already in my Outlook address book, but we need to have options that allow us to turn off results from some or all social networks. This is a big part of the problem.
    Think about it this way - The average person has 150+ LinkedIn connections, and more for Facebook. Many people today have accounts for both and they are setup with the same email address. When Outlook 2013 has to scan all the networks IN ADDITION to your
    local address book(s), it's a no brainer that it can get very confused trying to display results.
    Another big part of the problem is that Outlooks new search system also scans your email history. I receive emails from people who use multiple email addresses, or emails from companies with multiple reps or ticket systems that send you a unique
    ticket ID # ending in the same email address domain. Now Outlook displays people search results based on everything under the sun in my email history. This is beyond frustrating (see my "Infusionsoft" screenshot above in the first post).
    Again, I want to stress that for the search examples I referenced, I only have one entry in my Outlook address book for each person. And that's all I want to find when I search for people--what's already in my own address book! 
    In summary:
    We need an OPTION to turn off searching external networks when using the People Search box
    We need an option to tell Outlook to not scan email history for people search results (I think this needs to be disabled entirely actually. It's not helpful at all)
    There should be a fixed priority for displaying people search results, with local address book results FIRST, followed by social network results.
    There should be a clear icon/indicator next to each result that gives you a clue as to where the result is coming from. Your address book? Facebook? LinkedIn? We should not need to click on each result to get a hint as to where it's coming from.
    Work out the bugs in general with the new search system.
    One other thing that I didn't mention is that the Search People box also shows results for people I'm not even "friends" or connected with on the different social networks. But I've noticed that some people use the same email address for those networks that
    I already have programmed for them in my address book, which is why Outlook sometimes shows me these results. Does that make sense?
    I'll try rebuilding the index, but after testing Outlook 2013 on 3 different machines so far and seeing the same results (all slightly different results on each machine and very inconsistent), I doubt this will address the issue.

  • Error while mapping a Java class for a Search Dialog Box component

  • I'm unable to clear my search history after many attempts with the firefox instructions as I'm unable to check the "Form and Search History" box for some reason

    I've tried several times to clear my search history without any success. I've been able to do so in the past, but this is the first time I've tried in a while and for some reason it will not let me check the box for "Form and Search History." Then sometimes it will let me check that box, but when I click "ok" to apply the clearing of the search history, nothing happens and it still remembers all my sites. At that point I try to clear it again and its back to not letting me check the "Form and Search history" box (I've gone through this cycle a few times). I tried looking through some of suggested articles that Firefox sent me too, but I don't know much about computers and just doing the things they seem talking about isn't working either. Please help, thanks!

    It seems to have worked itself out. Thanks anyway!

  • Why is does the search query box collapse in  Acrobat CS4

    In the last few weeks or so, when  I try searching for text in a pdf document in Acrobat CS4  the usual search query box that is supposed to pop up is "collapsed" - see the attached diagram. (In css language it looks like a collpased dv tag) There is no place to enter text and a strange drop shadow effect emerges? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Have any suggestions about how to resolve it?
    Thanks

    OK I solved my own problem by removing the acrobat preference file and restarting Acrobat. I should have thought of a corrupt preference file before I asked

  • Two clicks required to get results from Search Input box on toolbar.

    I'm running version 8.02.208.
    I'm new at Webhelp and was hoping somebody might be able to give me some pointers.
    If I open my published webhelp on the Internet and try to search using the Search Input box on the toolbar the first time, two clicks are required in order to get search results.
    This problem only appears the first time, all other searches from the Search Input box on the toolbar work properly with only one click required.
    In addition, the Search tool opened from the Search button always works fine first and every time, but I did see the extra space that I've read about.
    This is what I don't understand...the problem I mentioned with the 2 clicks required on the toolbar, never happens when I Generate and View the results. Meaning that I am looking at the output but have not published it yet. It works fine first and every time.
    Why would the problem show up one way and not the other? Does anyone know what could be different?
    I just keep hoping that there is something that I can do to get rid of the problem. I keep getting Problem Reports opened and assigned to me and complaints from customer service from customers. They think the search isn't working and I keep having to explain.....arghhhh!
    Thanks!
    Deb

    Hi Sheryl and Peter,
    I have also tried the options as you have suggested without success. Everything works fine when the WebHelp is published to a local or network drive but when it is published to the server the issue occurs.
    I would point out too, that I find that the problem with the space only occurs on the intial attempt to search using the Search Box. Any subsequent attempts without closing the browser appear to work fine.

  • Display of files in the (search) "results" box

    I'm using Adobe Reader XI, version 11.0.09 (pre-installed in my computer, which is using Windows 8.1)
    When I use the advanced search to look for recurrence of a word within several .pdf files in the same folder, at the end of the search, the box "Results" is reduced to a very small line, the height is less than one printed line, and it is impossible to see the list of found files.

    Thanks for responding Alexandre.
    Yes its Opportunity Application CRMD_BUS2000111.
    In the application layout of the above application.
    OPP_DISPLAY_SEARCH_RESULT field group was assigned to
    Event INIT  , FOCUS_CHANGE_SRES  and SAVE  with element SRES and Position 2.

    In the activity  Application element--> field group
      the above two field groups have 20 in the last 2 columns.
