Search results disappeare

On random occasions when I type some key words in the search bar and then hit enter I can see the results for a brief moment and then they disappear. I then have to click Search again for them to reappear. This happens in Google. Not sure if this is Google or Firefox related issue.

We've fought this too - as we have a number of non-orderable information services that we want to display at the bottom! We're not too keen on prefixing everything with white space (old habits die hard I think!) so we found an ASCII character that would move the Information services to the bottom - it is:
Φ
However! It does not migrate in CatalogDeployer, so if you intend to migrate them frequently it's not a practical process. It would be great if you could categorise them even simply!

OHJ- IcePDF issue: The search result disappears upon multilple clicks on s

Hi,
When any pdf opens and we search for a text in pdf using "Search Text", the result gets displayed in the "Results" section. But if i click on search multiple times for the same word or any other new word, the search does not return any result. In other words the result gets disappeared from the "Results" section and re-appears after a few clicks. This is easily reproducible upon multiple click on "Search" button. It has been noticed that the result count is correctly seen but no result is seen in the "Results" box when this issue occurs.
Any resolution will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Trex Issue - Search Results Mysteriously Disappearing

Hello All-
I have a strange issue with my TREX searching. Here's what is happening - I run a search, the results come back saying there are x hits. If I start paging through the results, I get about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way when suddenly the hits drops to some number less that x hits. Where have the remainder of my hits gone? I've checked out SAPNotes and SDN but haven't had any luck. Has anyone seen this behavior before? My guesses are that it is either hiding duplicates (and I'm missing some sort of switch) or some of the results are bogus (for instance, I have some documents that won't preprocess and perhaps these are coming up as bogus hits).
I'm on EP6 SP 14/KM SP 14/TRex 14....
Thanks and points given for any help what so ever in sorting this out!
Jim

Hi Jim,
the number of search results is the total number that fits to your search term without any respect to the permissions.
But the search results that are displayed on the result page are only those that you are allowed to see. As a consequence, you can only see new pages with search results as long as there are additional search results that you are allowed to see
Kind regards

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

Error in Search results - Sorry, something went wrong. Display template had an error

I'm receiving this error in custom search results page in our SharePoint 2013 Enterprise farm:
Sorry, something went wrong.
Display Error: The display template had an error. You can correct it by fixing the template or by changing the display template used in either the Web Part properties or Result Types.
'console' is undefined (CoreRender: ~ sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Item_mycustom_Site.js
I believe a similar error was resolved by March 2013 CU but our farm us running Aug 2013 CU. I have also tried adding domain to trusted zone in IE but still the same error.
I do not get this error in Google Chrome or in IE 10 or above. Not sure if it is an issue with my display template because error disappears when upgrading IE to 10 or 11.
Update: In IE 8 I can see search results with no error if the developer toolbar (F12) is enabled!

Hi ,
Did you try these steps
Open up the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as Administrator
and run the following command: Enable-SPFeature SearchWebParts -url http://<central admin
url>
Use a browser on a different machine, or add you SharePoint
site(s) to the ‘Trusted Sites’ in IE.
Activate the feature : “My
Site Host“. This is a hidden feature scoped at the Site Collection level. The feature ID is 49571CD1-B6A1-43a3-BF75-955ACC79C8D8.
The feature folder under SharePointRoot is MySiteHost.

Store won't display search results, tabs dead

Search results in iTunes Stoe (11) won't display all items (i.e. it reads "Total: 301 items" at the bottom of the list but only 16-20 will show up (depending on my luck). This is even true of, for example, a podcast show page itself. When I scroll down, there are empty lines where episode titles should go, but if I go all the way to the end, they suddenly disappear and the "Total: 301 items" jumps to the end of the 16-20 item long list.
Categories within search results won't display either (i.e. I can see the "All," "Books," iTunes U" list on the right side, but clicking on each does nothing).
Going from "Details" to "Ratings and Reviews" also requires clicking the tab and then reloading the page. My connection is fine, this has been happening for at least the last month at home, while out, using wifi and when drectly connected by old timey cables. Updated this morning, still no change.
Help?

This article has some tips
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
(particularly under Troubleshooting on a Mac)
If that does not help... As a test, to narrow down the cause, you may want to create a new user account in System Preferences Users & Groups pane. It can be Standard or Admin. Log out and log in to the new user account (do not use Fast User Switching).
Try running iTunes from the new user account, and accessing the iTunes Store.
If the problem does NOT occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be something in your primary user account. For example, it could be user preferences settings, or something related to your iTunes library, or a background process that runs in your account that is interfering somehow.
If the same problem does occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be related to the overall OS, the iTunes application, or maybe network settings that block access to the iTunes Store.
Either way, you'll be able better focus additional troubleshooting.

How to reveal/open mailbox containing selected message in search results?

A user is trying to find a message. She searches for the sender's email address and she sees the message in the search results and it is listed as being in a mailbox named "Prism". She browses through her list of mailboxes (local and on the server) and see no such mailbox. She opens Get Info and sees that mailbox is listed as containing 53 messages, yet selecting it and clicking on the Show Messages buttons generates an empty window and the error "No Mailbox Selected".
I had her rebuild her In mailbox on the chance that the missing folder was a child of the In box (I've seen her do that before). I have on more than one occasion watched someone delete mailboxes that are the child of the In box and when they deleted the second-to-last one the last mailbox also disappears. In those cases the disappearing mailbox has always been empty so it wasn't a big issue. I'm wondering if this is how the "Prism" mailbox disappeared.
I seem to recall that there is a keyboard shortcut that would open the parent mailbox of a selected email in a search results listing but I can't seem to find that shortcut. Anyone know if there is such a thing? And anyone have any other ideas how to find the missing mailbox?

Michael,
if the search was done from within Mail, looking into "all folders" and you see the message, open that message in the Find results window and top right you will see a link to open the email in its original mailbox.
Now if you do that, the left column should show where the mailbox is.

Search Results Clear On Refinement with custom Display Template

I am working with a custom search display template. I did minor presentation changes in the template. I am showing a checkbox against each search item and there is some logic behind it.
For this I am using Item_Default Template.
ctx.OnPostRender = [];
ctx.OnPostRender.push(function(){
$('input[name=checkbox]').change(function(){
//My Logic
With this is in place, on page load it shows initial results just fine and my checkbox logic also works fine.
However, whenever user hits a refinement value the results clear out and no longer display. I know the results are there because when I do reload of the page refined results appears but again when you click on refinement value results disappear.
With some digging on the forums I found that use "AddPostRenderCallback(ctx,function(){" instead of "ctx.OnPostRender.push", I tried this as well but it didn't help.
Whenever I remove "ctx.OnPostRender.push(function(){" code from my template, refinement panel starts working properly again. So there has to be something related to this "ctx.OnPostRender.push". I cant just
remove it because I have to write my JS logic as well for that this function is must.
Please give me some pointers.
Thanks
Sarvesh
Regards Sarvesh Shinde SharePoint Developer, India

i am able to get the results by implementing the below:
<h4 style="background-color:black">
<a onclick="javascript:mycalltojs(_#=
ctx.CurrentItem.Path=#_) > click here </a>
</h4>
hope this helps anyone

Outlook 2007 Search emails disappear after single-click

Greetings,
I have at least two users that have a peculiar problem. For each, when they perform a search of their emails via Outlook 2007 (against Exchange 2010) and receive the results, upon clicking on some emails, the email clicked on will disappear from the search
results instantly. There is almost no time for the user to read the email after selecting it from the search results because it disappears so fast. These are not unread emails and it doesn't happen to all emails they click on within the search results so I
am leaning away from there being a filter applied.
If they re-run the search, the emails show back up again so it doesn't appear that they are truly deleted in any way. The users are not using Cached Exchange Mode.
Again, this is only happening for emails that show up as a result of a search, not in the users' regular inbox or other folders.
Thanks!

Hi,
It doesn't sound like an expected experience in Outlook and I didn't reproduce it. Just confirm, are the users using Instant Search or Advanced Find? Please also confirm if the same problem persists on OWA.
I doubt if it's caused by any 3rd-party add-ins, we can start Outlook in Safe Mode:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem when searching in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We can also have the users start Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews", this will reset all custom views and change back to the default view, test if this helps.

List web part -show search box (disappears)

hello everyone,
I used list web part in my page and checked the show search box. but, when i save the page and publish, this search box disappears.

Hi Sultannur,
Please check if it could help with switching to "Summary Toolbar" in web part property, or patch the latest cumulative update for SharePoint 2013 and check result again.

Outlook - search matches disappear when modified (but not lost)

I have Outlook 2010
- I search for a keyword
- matches are displayed
- I modify a match and then it immediately disappears. E.g.: I reply to the email or categorize it, then it immediately disappears. Or I click on it so it is no longer unread, but read - this is again a modification, and it disappears.
- when I say "disappear" I mean that it only disappears from the search results, it is not deleted.
- if I clear the search field, and all the emails are displayed and then I search again for the same keyword, I again have all the results.
This problem just recently started happening this week. Nothing about my computer or version of Outlook has changed. I tried running Outlook in safe mode and the problem persists.

Hi,
We can run outlook with the /cleanviews switch:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe / cleanviews” in the blank box, then press Enter.
The /cleanviews switch restores all folder views to their default settings. It works by deleting all the hidden items that store view customizations, both views that the user has created and changes to the standard views.
Or we can delete and rebuild index to check the result. Click searching box, then click Search Tools -> Search Options -> Search -> Index Options -> Advanced -> Rebuild.
Feel free to post it back with details.

Invisible search result on pages with multiple pics.

When loading the site [http://LNK.by/fjbe de.picclick.com] and searching after the search term "RI58-0-9000" (hotkey "CTRL+F") I can't find the search result, because the search result is 1-2 inches out of visual range. When using Google Chrome I can see the search result (it's orange highlighted). -Can the Firefox developers modify the next Firefox distribution so that the search result can be found by Firefox, too ?

Google Chrome seems to have problems as well as I see the text disappearing.
That site places that link on one line with whitespace set to nowrap and giving all elements fixed height with no scrolling possible.
This style either via userContent.css or Stylish makes it work better and allows scrolling the text.

Hi steve,
Still my issue was not resolved, could you help me to find the exact error.I have enhanced the component, view and context node, still i couldn't able to add attributes to the context node BTQRACT.I tried to add several fields, but it is giving the same error 'METHOD CL_BT126S_A_APPTSR_CTXT' CREATE_BTQRACT DOES NOT EXIST'.

Still after implementing the OSS note, i am getting the same error.My guess is one of the method is missing. Please help me out?

Podcast No Longer Showing Up on iTunes Search Results

We submitted our podcast months ago and it showed up on the iTunes store just fine. Somewhere along the way, someone on our end introduced a code error in the .xml file that broke the links to the audio files. We didn't find this issue out for quite a while, and in that time, it appears that iTunes flagged and took down our podcast feed from the store (I'm assuming because of this code error).
I have since remedied the code issues and I can subscribe directly to the feed now, so it is working fine. But I cannot get the store to show the podcast in any search results. When I try to resubmit the feed the store says it is already submitted - even if I change the url and the .xml file name, so it is clearly smarter than I am, haha.
Any tips on how to get out of this problem? It has been several weeks and the podcast still does not show up on the store.
Thanks,
Bill

Roger,
Thanks for the reply - in the time it took me to hit submit and tab back to my .xml file I saw that I'd missed changing the link/title. Thank you for confirming that this will do it - it let me resubmit. Take care!
Bill
