Search results in iOS ?

Hi there.
One problem I have is that I've got loads of apps on my iPad(S) and when I do a search for them from the main search area - it gives the results but doesn't show where they actually are on the ipad - which folder they are in etc.
Is there a way to find that info ?
Thx in advance

If, for example, you want to re-arrange where your apps are on your iPad, then you should be able to find them when connected to your computer's iTunes. If you select the iPad device and then select the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes, you should then get a list of your apps and mock-ups of the iPad screens. Double-clicking an app in the 'sync list' should show its screen/folder on the 'homescreen' on that tab - you can then move it to where you now want it.

  • How can I get iOS "Contacts" to sort search results on a name-first, other-fields-next basis?

    Example: I type "jo sm" into the search bar in Contacts on iOS 7, expecting John Smith and Josephine Smolens to appear at the top of the list, as they are the only ones of my contacts whose name matches the pattern "jo* sm*".  Instead, they are perhaps numbers 15 and 34 on the list, as other peoples' Notes fields also contain the pattern "jo* sm*".
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    This does not answer my question.  I apologize for my lack of clarity when I tried to explain the problem. 
    To clarify: I'm not using wild card characters; I was just trying to explain the behavior I get and how it's different from what I want.  Let me try again a slightly different way:
    When I type "jo sm" into the Search bar in iOS 7 Contacts, I want the first results to be the people whose First Name starts with (or even just contains) "jo" and whose Last Name starts with (or contains) "sm".
    Instead, I get all contacts whose Notes contain the letters "jo" and "sm" anywhere at all (which is many many people), and they are given to me in an order that seems random.  Therefore, when I type "jo sm", I don't see the contact I'm looking for because he/she is routinely three pages down the list.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Google Search Results keep freezing Safari in iOS 8

    I have an iPad Air that is only 30% full, and a good wifi connection. Ever since is updated to ios8 and subsequent updates, my Safari browser will often (but not always) freeze after a Google search. All of the Google search result links will be unresponsive, and will not even respond after I refresh the page. It will require me to close the tab, restart Safari and repeat the Google search. It has been happening for quite awhile. I can quit out of all apps, restart my iPad, close all other tabs in Safari, and still have the problem. Unlike another poster who had the same problem, I do not have any third-party blockers on my iPad, nor have I ever had them.
    This his is only one of several glitches I have experienced with iOS 8.

    If you didn't do a clean install of your system, you might want to try that. Here is a troubleshooting methodology I gave for another thread ...
    Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
    First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
    Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
    On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
    This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

  • IOS 7.1 - Safari issues with Google search results

    Since the latest upgrade to iOS on my iPhone 4, I'm have a problem with Safari.  When I do a search on Google, the results webpage will not display the forward/back buttons with the change windows button.  I have to close Safari, restart and then quickly hit the select window button before the search results display again.  All other websites seem to be working fine.  Anyone else experience this?

    Negative. Try tapping toward the bottom of the screen and the navigation bar will show. You don't have to scroll to make that happen.

  • Search results not showing book

    I am having great difficulty in getting a book to show up when searching in iTunes. (this is not a back-door way of promotion!)
    Can you help me regarding metadata? This particular book (called Why They Win) has the words 'bridge', 'bidding', 'play' and several other keywords in the description. I thought the words in the description were used to help build search terms. However if these words either singly or in combination are used in the iTunes search box the book never shows up in the search results. What do I have to do to make it appear in search results without typing in the actual title or author which obviously most people will not know in advance?

    It's not compatible with iPhones (nor iPod Touches) - from the book's description page in the store :
    This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iPad, and with iTunes on your computer. Multi-touch books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iPad. Books with interactive features may work best on an iPad. iBooks on your Mac requires OS X 10.9 or later.
    Requirements: To view this book, you must have an iPad with iBooks 3 or later and iOS 5.1 or later, or a Mac with iBooks 1.0 or later and OS X 10.9 or later.
    Did you create the book with iBooks Author ?

  • No Search Results page in Responsive HTML5 Output.

    Hello,
    I am using RoboHelp HTML version 11.0.3 and have just finished my second help project, which I need to publish in Responsive HTML5 format. I had already published one project for some new software designed to run on iOS devices using the Responsive HTML5 format for that as well. Despite some issues with the Theme1 screen layout being corrupted, which I was able to resolve by importing another screen layout, I was able to get that project released. When I compiled this latest project, however, I get several errors stating that "The Search Results widget is not allowed in the Topic Screen layout page. No Search Result layout page is present in the screen layout - the search textbox will not work as expected."
    Long story short, when the project is compiled and I view the result, there is no search control to open a search page see first image below). Instead a search field is displayed at the bottom of the initial page (see second image) and sure enough, if I enter a term in there and click the search button, I get an index of all the files in my project (as opposed to a proper list of results).
    I'm not sure why this is happening when I'm literally using the same exact screen profile as in the other project. I'm experiencing other display/formatting issues as well like some of my headings not displaying properly, the text in the header not displaying properly, and so on (these are things I experienced with the original corrupted profile, but this is the NEW profile I imported to resolve those issues). The main issue is the search page though.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this and if so, can you offer a solution. I need to get this project properly compiled and released.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hi Willam,
    Sorry, not sure what happened with the previous post.
    That’s what I did to begin with. Since I knew that layout worked for me and took care of the issues with the corrupt (Theme1) layout for the other project, I imported that into the current project. There seems to be something wrong with the layout or the project itself, though, now. Whenever I compile the project I get multiple errors stating the Search result widget isn’t allowed in the Topic screen layout page. I even created a completely new project, imported all my topics from the previous project, and imported the layout again and still it keeps giving me the error that the Search result widget is not allowed in the Topic screen layout page.
    I don’t think this has anything to do with iOS, since I’m seeing the issues when viewing the help file on both a laptop and PC; haven’t even viewed it on a device yet. At any rate, I just don’t understand why I’m getting all these errors, having all these issues with the Responsive HTML5 format. It’s been especially frustrating since I thought I had already resolved the layout issue.
    Any other ideas??
    Thanks,

  • IOS7 mail search results appear to be random by date also where are the search parameters, from to etc..? help!

    Mail search returns results by random date. Where are the mail search parameters, from,to,etc?

    This is really annoying. Mail search on iOS 7 never worked, either on iPhone
    4S or on iPad.
    Search results are not sorted in any perceivable order. I get totally random results, with messages dating 4 years back jumping to yesterday and so on.
    I have never seen Apple to respond to this issue with earnest feedback, and users are often dismissed.
    I used to have to resort to my Macbook Pro to get decent results, but due to the many mail app problems on OSX, I do not rely on it anymore.
    Can Apple please give feedback to this search issue on the IOS devices? It is really, REALLY crippling.

  • Youtube app - limited search results

    When searching for YouTube videos within the YouTube app, I get fewer results a lot of the time, particularly when searching for "official" music videos. My example: search for "la roux in for the kill" on the YouTube site (either on your desktop or on Safari on the iPhone). The top result is the official video posted by "polydor". Click on it and it plays in the iPhone YouTube app. The same search in the YouTube app misses out this result.
    The same problem was raised [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9853961&#9853961] but the answer doesn't apply to this issue. I can view the official La Roux video in the YouTube app, I just can't search for it there.
    As it seems to happen mostly to music videos, is it something to do with the access the record labels want to grant?

    Hi
    Have you figured it out yet?  It took me a minute to figure out, you need to swipte until you hear
    until it says the name of the app and gives app developer and rating then when you wipe again it will say the price, when I swipe to the right after that, it moves to the next app. This is on ios 7, I believe it worked differently on ios 6 and below.  I wish there a way to change the search results into a list view.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • Bugs on selecting photos in search result

    When you select photos from any of the albums, click "Share", that seems to be normal
    But if you search photos (for example: taken at specific location), choose a photo from searching result, click "Share", it will incorrectly pointed to another photo.
    Anyone have same issue?
    iOS: 8.0.2
    Device: same on iPhone 6 and 5s
    Thanks

    Index error make sense to me.
    1. Try turn off icloud backup first.
    2. Export all your photos to PC or MAC.
    3. Disconnect your MAC, and clear your photo on your iphone.
    4. import all the photo back.
    I wish this would help you.

  • 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!

  • 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.
    Hamza AlSughier

    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.
