Search in iCal in 10.5.2 Not Working?

I upgraded to 10.5.2 this week and was posting a future event in iCal (several years out) and wanted to see if it posted correctly. So, I clicked in the search field in the upper right corner of the window and typed in the text I entered for the event. The columnar listing area appeared at the bottom of the window, but displayed no contents. I then manually went to the future date and found the event just fine.
In Tiger when I entered text in the search field, the columnar area at the bottom of the screen actually listed the results of my search, but I can get no results in Leopard.
I searched this forum for comments on this issue and found a similar thread from last fall, but none of the suggestions made at that time work for me in 10.5.2.
Can anyone here confirm that iCal is not displaying search results for them? I'd like to know if it's my system, or the application itself.
I find it's working on my upgraded G5 iMac, but not on this new Intel iMac.
Thanks for listening...

I had a similar problem. The symptoms were:
- Search in iCal did not work at all (no result, what so ever, returned)
- Search in Spotlight worked (the same search that did not return anything in iCal would return To-Dos and events in Spotlight)
I started by backing up and restoring, but this did not work.
I then read a lot about potential solutions involving quite extreme things (such as reinstalling Leopard). I then found out that I could solve this issue by simply exporting each calendar and then reimporting them without deleting anything.
For example, I had a "Home" calendar that I exported. I then chose "Import" then picked the exported "Home" calendar and chose my "Home" calendar in iCal as destination calendar. I feared that I would end up with duplicate events and to-dos, but no, iCal is smart.
Once this is done, my search in iCal started to work again and searching items on this calendar would return correct results (as did spotlight).
I then did the same with all my other calendars, and voilà!
Hope this helps

The search function in the itunes store does not work. It will accept a request and suggest searches but then it locks up and will not search. Clicking on the magnifying glass or a suggested search does nothing. Re-installing itunes has not helped.

In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
OS Yosemite,
Finder versión 10.10.1
Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Search tasks reminders with Iphone/Ipad iOS7 not working

Help... Using search bar above new task interface is not working. When you key in a subject to search, the tasks start showing below but if try to click on one of the tasks being displayed you cannot find it i.e. does not open and you still have to scroll through all tasks (in my case 600+).
What nonsense.
Upgrades are supposed to make things better...iOS7 has made tasks and other applications worse. Just glitz and irrelevant changes.

For those heavy Outlook/Task/Exchange users such as myself, it looks like there may be a simple App solution. I just downloaded and started using TaskTask today. At least for day one, it is beautiful. Syncs with Exchange '03 flawlessly. Easy to sort, search, add, delete, etc. I can't believe how efficient it is. This is totally objective. I am strictly a user, no connection to the company. My initial reaction is "what a relief". Goodbye Apple reminders and tasks.

The search function on my "sent" mail does not work - can anyone help?

The search function on my "sent" mail does not work. When I type in more than two letters into the saerch box - the sent mail screen goes blank. Any ideas how to fix this? Apple technical support has not been much help for the past five days...

As this is the forum for the MacBook Pro hardware, your question will be better answered in the OS X Snow Leopard forum where the Mail app is discussed.

Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.

Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.
When I sync my MacBook Pro with my iPhone and iPad, the events set in both devices (iPhone & iPad) are not transfered to the iCal on my labtop. Events created in both devices are transfered and copied betwen them when I sync them with the iTunes app (through the MacBook Pro) but they are not trasfered/copied into the labtop (iCal). The events created in the iCal (on my MacBook) are tranfered to the devices as two events on same hour. One, with the description created on the iCal, and the other as a New Event (no description). This is happening since I installed the new OS X Lion last week.
I file a report and talked with an Apple Support Representative, but they could not help me. They have not receive any other reports on this matter. Do someone has confronted this issue. I need to find out how to solve this problem.
Regards,
JAD

Hi Sydness,
Thank you very much for your help. It just worked fine. I have 4 macs in my company for 25 years (one is updated each year), and it is the first time I could not solve a problem for weeks. It gave me the opportunity to join this great community.

Search in Sharepoint Foundation 2013 sp1 do not work

When we type anything in any search bar, the result is “Sorry, something went wrong” with Correlation ID:
aa0fb79c-5878-d0b4-2016-c1ebc17f3336.
The server was originally installed with the 2013 Foundation beta version on a 2008 R2 server (single server installation). The content was migrated from a MOSS 2007 installation using “Quest Migration Suite for Sharepoint. The search
feature has never worked.
We upgraded to Sp1 (version 15.0.4571.1502) yesterday. The search did still not work.
We checked the crawl status. It had been running for some 9000 hours. We stopped it and started it again. It was still running after 24 hours so we stopped it again.
Under Monitoring / Review Problems and solutions a new problem appeared indicating that the index was fragmented. We hit the button above “Solve the issue” (or what it is called) and the error went away.
To be sure we also went to “Search Service Application: Index Reset” and hit reset. After a while of “Working on it”, a page with the text “Sorry, something went wrong”
appear with error message as below:
There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://sp-server/8E2ECE/AdminComponent1/Management/NodeController that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP
action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
So we are really not sure wether the index was correctly reset.
Going back to the crawl overview, a new crawl had been started. Having a look under Search
Service Application: Crawl Reports - Crawl Rate, statistics as below:
Crawl rate (dps) 0
Total items 34
Modified items 0
Not modified items 0
Security items 0
Deleted items 0
Retries 28
Errors 6
The crawl appears to be hanging somewhere here.
What actions should I take?

Hi Jonas,
I recommend to clear the configuration cache to see if the issue still occurs.
Please follow the link to clear the cache:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
To narrow the issue scope, I recommend to create a new search service application to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks

Formatted Search for Delivery Date field in SO not working

Hi All
Can anyone help me as to why my formatted search is not working?
I am currently using SAP B1A SP01 Patch 19.
I have created a user query as follows:
SELECT $ [$10.0.DATE] + 5
When I add this to the delivery field within the Sales Order and bring through the saved query which I set to auto refresh when the Posting Date field changes and to Display Saved Values it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks and best wishes
Gail

HI Gail,
If I am not mistaken you want to add days to the posting date...if that is so then try this out:
SELECT $[ORDR.DocDate.DATE]+5 From ORDR T0 For Browse
Set The indicator to Auto Refresh when the fields change

Search for doc's on WIN7 Drive not working

Hello, I am wondering if any of you know a work around for this. I cant seem to understand why the search for the names of documents does not look in the windows bootcam drive correctly. For example I open the HDD for windows 7 and say I search for a text document called serials.txt and I search for "serials" and serials.txt" and Finder does not find.... The document is there and inside the folder located on the WIN7 Partition I am searching. I do have Paragon NTFS installed... Confused.

Sounds like Spotlight doesn't use Paragon which actually doesn't surprise me at all.

ICal to Mail drag & drop not working in OSX 10.10

In a frequently used work flow I dragged an iCalendar entry and dropped it to mail, where it was received as .ical attachment. Sometimes I used copy/paste to insert the entry's data as plain text.
This does not work any more with 10.10. Is there any better way to insert the ical file into an existing (reply-to) mail, without creating a blank invitation first and doing copy-paste there?

Thanks, I have seen this but this process has the same number of steps as the blank invitation - I do not need to close the empty window in your version, but have to locate the .ics file in the finder.
Could it be that a product manager or programmer at Apple did not understand the merits of the old drag&drop and has killed this feature without offering any replacement?

ICal alarms on my iPhone not working correctly?

With my iPhone turned ON, any alerts that are set for any of my calendars show up in the correct way. If my iPhone is turned OFF when an alert was due to sound, with the previous software version 2.2.1, when I turned my iPhone ON it would still alert me, but since I've updated to version 3.0, this doesn't happen anymore? I'm sure it should do, I've always received alerts from my iCal on my iMac when I switch it on in the morning for any alerts that should have sounded whilst my computer was off. Has anyone else noticed this or have, is it a glitch or have I just been unlucky when I updated? If that's the case, any ideas how to resolve the problem, other than a full restore!!

Every since my wife and I upgraded both of our iPhones with the iPhone 3.0 software, calendar alerts do not work. They do not work with "all day" events. They do work if you put a specific time. The alerts were working before the 3.0 upgrade.

ICal (desktop) to iPhone sync not working

My problem is with syncing iCal to my iPhone 4S. If I enter an event in the iPhone, it syncs via cloud to my desktop iCal program, but items entered on the desktop version don't push to the iPhone. Both calendars are set to the same calendar.
Any ideas about what I'm missing?
thanks

Try moving your calendar cache files from your user /Library/Calendars folder to your desktop, then restart iCal. If that doesn't work, try moving the entire Calendars folder. iCal will rebuild these upon restart but this last step will remove all your local calendar events if you have any. Don't worry, they're still in the folder you moved. If you happne to be syncing calendars via mobileme you can just sync them back down. You could also rebuild your events via an iPhone sync.
