SEARCH results sorted by LOCATION

does lion have the ability to report search results by location? alternatively, is it possible to /exclude/ a location once the search has returned results?
i am very much in need of a tool that will sort my results by location so i can do something as simply as collapse the folder that contains the majority of the results and simply look at (or move) the results that are /not/ in this location. at the same time i would very much like to do and/nor results so that i could /exclude/ a location.
for instance, i have a lot of times that i need this but for instance if i am trying to see if i have music files /outside/ of a certain folder it would be very helpful to be able to sort these so that i was looking at the results that weren't located in the correct location. right now i am doing a scroll through thousands of results while trying to keep my eye on the file path at the bottom of the finder window.
i have done this in the past and particularly where there are files in lots of locations this can be tedious to the point of being unmanageable.
is this something accomplished in OmniDiskSweeper or WhatSize by any chance?
thanks for any thoughts.

How are you using this portlet? Are you
(a) allowing users to enter criteria to do a search and
wanting the results page to group the results or
(b) are you using it for automatically displaying content
via auto query portlets?
Depending on your version of portal it maybe possible to get functionality similar to what you want with multiple custom search portlets on a page. Beware, in some versions of portal there are some issues when you put multiple search portlets on a page, as they dont work independently. Therefore its not guarenteed that the following suggestions will work, but its possibly worth a try.
(a)
- Create a results page and add 4 custom search portlets
- Customize each portlet
- Set the Portlet Title to be the grouping title
i.e Categories
- Set the portlet so it only searches for a single results
type,
i.e. chose category for Content typee
- For the results page option, choose 'Custom Page' and
select the same page (this ensures a search from this
portlet goes back to the same page).
- Now set your portlet you are using to run the search
to display results on the results page you have just
created
- When you perform a search, the user is taken to your
results page and each portlet should take the search
criteria and display the results of each type
- The next and previous buttons may not work independently
between the portlets depending on your versions, if this
is the case i would suggest turning the summary off in
the portlets
(b)
- similar to a, but set all the 4 portlets to be auto
query and enter the criteria. Ensure the submission
form is not rendered below the results.
Hope that helps

Search results sorting

hello ,
I would like to have a custom control that sort search results ( A to Z or Z to A ), so , i created a dropdownlist with two entry : A-Z et Z-A.
When user click A-Z , i would like that search results display in the right alphabetic order from A to Z.
How to accomplish my goal step by step ?
Thanks.

Hi Piing,
To sort the search results, you need to define the results to sort by which managed property.
As each result has many managed properties, I recommend to use Title managed property to sort the results.
If that is the case, then we need to write the sort dropdown like this:
[{"name":"A-Z","sorts":[{"p":"Title","d":0}]},{"name":"Z-A","sorts":[{"p":"Title","d":1}]}].
After that, we need to edit the search results page and then edit the Search Results web part, then expand Settings and check Show sort dropdown. After that paste the above JSON inside the box and save the changes back to SharePoint.
You can refer to the link below for details about how to write the JSON inside the sort dropdown:

ATG search result sorting logics

I would like to get the list of all sorting options in atg search results and the priority and order of each logic applied in the search result. Any one please help me ?
I am listing below the sort options known to me
1. The default sort order --> sort by relevance
2. The secondary sort order specified using docSort, docSortOrder , sortProp and docSortPred parameters
3. Search result rule positioning @ ATG Merchandising ( BCC )
4. Search property prioritization @ ATG Merchandising ( BCC )

i think this helps you
docSort
ATG Search returns a list of result groups in its query response. Normally, the result groups are sorted in
relevance order, but you may want to allow users to sort the final results by some secondary criteria, such
as date. This secondary sort does not affect what results are in the result groups, just the order of the
returned groups. Secondary sorting is performed before paging, and is controlled by the following
attributes:
<query docSort="mode" docSortOrder="order" docSortProp="prop"
dcSortPropDefault="def" docSortPropVal="val" docSortPred="predicate"
docSortCase="bool"
The mode value specifies how the index items will be sorted, and can be one of the following:
relevance —The default value, return items in relevance order, assuming the item set
is a category

Spotlight Search Results - Sort by Date Modified

Running 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro.
Is there a way to sort Spotlight search results by date modified?
Am I missing something really basic or is Apple kinda going insane?
I also don't like that I can't search my files by filename without also allowing Spotlight to index the contents of my hard drive. I don't want my content indexed.
Why does Apple use AES encryption for FileVault? It has an NSA backdoor...
And while I'm at it, I can't network with my PB180 running System 7.5.5 anymore (OSX 10.2 let me).
GRRR! I hate when progress gets senile.

Rants will get you nowhere on these forums except banned.
If you want to report this to Apple, send Feedback and send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Ultrasearch search results (sort)

Does anyone know how to change the search results, so the results are sorted by description or author not by score?
Thanks.

Currently when searching using Oracle Text the results are always ordered by score and it can not be changed.
This feature is being considered for a later release.

Generic search framework search result sorting accrding to header name

HI!
I need to implement new option to generic search result. There I should implement new sorting, user need to sort GS result according to header.
How can I add sorting option to to my GS results. Do I have to used existing option to add sorting option?
Thanks in advance.

Unless you explicitly specify type=nosort, the result list is by default sortable by a column. When you introduce the new option in the generic-seacrchbackend-config.xml, if you do not specify anything explicitly, then, the result can be automatically sorted by that column by clicking the column header.
Also, you can influence the initial sorting of the displayed result by a column. You can do so by specifying defaultSortSequence="ASCENDING" or "DESCENDING" as you desire.

How to sort web app items based on few fields of it on search result page?

I have a web app and its search. The search results are on multiple pages means it has pagination. My client's requirement is to have a feature which will sort results based on some web app items. for example we have a field price so when user select the price it needs to sort from high to low. Any one have idea how to do it?

I have just been playing around with this for something else, all you need to do is duplicate your price field into the weighting field and it will automatically sort from High to low for you.
Cheers

How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?

How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?
I generated the file in Robohelp HTML 9.
As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.
Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?
Thanks
Tom

In Project Setup look at the Window properties. I think you will find Advanced Search is ticked.

Is it so difficult for Sun to sort search result and duke stars ?

In the years that I have been visiting these forums I have frequently (well every year at least) asked Sun to sort the search results by reverse date. In the last few months I have asked Sun to sort the new format of the results of "My Duke Stars". Is is so difficult to add a 'order by' clause to the SQL or am I missing something?

DrClap wrote:
It would be nice if they could do that, and I asked them too several months ago. It would also be nice if they told you how many points you got for an answer (not how many points were originally attached to the thread) and the date and time you got them (not the original date and time of the thread). But those changes might take more than just an ORDER BY clause. (Or they might be implemented by just choosing the right columns from joined tables, who knows?)They seem to have all the functionality already there, it's just spread out across two pages when it should be all on one.

Sorting people search results

Hi
We tried to sort the PeopleSearch Results by LastName and then by FirstName using the Query Designer.
In the preview everything works fine, buth when we save the web part settings and do a seearch on the people results page, the results are not sorted as excpected.
Query Sorting, (sorting as expected in preview)
People results page using the settings above:
Not properly sorted
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks,
Stephan

Wow! I was able to reproduce your problem. There seems to be no way to get the sorting to work correctly in the search results. I have been able to sort the results correctly using either a) Content by Search part or b) an App issuing a query through
the API.
I think you are going to have to replace the OOB people search page with a custom solution based on either the Content by Search part or an app.
I have an Employee Directory app available on my CodePlex project here.

Is it possible to sort search results

Is there a way to setup the order of the search results
during the project build process? Currently in my manual when a
user searches for an item, the results come up in alpha order. If
possible I would prefer to display them in order of relevance. Any
ideas?

mitchgrrt wrote:
I see. It sort of, partly, does what I want. It seems like you can limit the search to one of the "places" that show up on the left side of Finder. So on my Mac I can choose to limit the search to Desktop, mitch, Applications, or Documents in my case (my username is mitch).
That's an improvement, but can I limit the search to subdirectory mitch/dir1/dir2? That's what I would really like.
of course. as I told you open mitch/dir1/dir2 in finder and start the search from there. the search will default to searching the whole mac but in the search toolbar you can switch to searching just this directory. and if you want you can save the result as a smart search and put in the the sideebar for quick access if you do this particular search often.
Or can I sort the search results by where they are in subdirectories?
no, you can't do that.
Thanks.

How do I sort new iTunes store searched results (ie Popularity)?

New iTunes Store (Ver. 11.0) will not let me sort search results.
I'm almost certain this was a feature in older versions of iTunes store but can't get to work in new version.
Any help would be appreciated.

I too am having this problem. Just searched for a song title which threw up around 300 results - I could always sort those by artist or album or time (this was really useful as I buy a lot of remixes and used to sort by time - just looked first at the longest, often), etc. Additionally I cant widen the columne so cant see any of the titles fully even. The whole search results page seems completely useless. Classical searches will be a nightmare with hundreds of recordings and seemingly no way of sorting and cant even see the information fully. One thing I have discovered with this awful new ITunes is that after hours of playing around many things are in fact there - just in very odd places or in different (and less user friendly) set up . . . I have also had some fantastic help through these pages - thanks everoone.
This search result glitch does seem a real mistake surely ? If nothing else it makes me FAR less likley to buy - i cant find anything ! Lets hope I"they" cotton on to that effect and sortsit out . . . .

Don't sort search results?

Hm, I guess there is no easy way to tell RH8 to list WebHelp search results in a very simple list and to relinquish the sort function within the search results?
Thanx y'all.

The topics are sorted by relevance. See the RoboHelp Tour on my site.

Sorting search results

Once you've searched the store and received the results, how do you sort by name, by popularity, by album etc? You used to be able to simply click on the header.

Richard,
Couple of questions - is the property you're sorting by numeric or date? The search server cannot sort by a text property.
Also, is this a UI customization on the search result page, or some standalone code (say, a portlet that calls the server API)? And what portal version? There is some unintuitive behavior in some recent releases (5.0.2 and higher) where the search results page reverts to the sort order previously set by the user.

Sorting search results by rank

Hi,
Is it possible to sort the search results by rank in RH8 html help ? It works when I click on Title but not when Rank is clicked. What I mean is changing from ascending to descending order.
Thanks,

Which version of content server do you have? In 7.x you can install a custom component named MultiSort, and in 10gR3 this is built in.
Basically you need to use a parameter named SortSpec
example:
http://yourserver/instance/idcplg?<original query>&SortSpec=order%20by%20dDocType%20desc,%20dDocName%20asc
For more information visit: [http://www.corecontentonly.com/2008/08/13/MultiSortWith10gR3SortSpec.aspx|http://www.corecontentonly.com/2008/08/13/MultiSortWith10gR3SortSpec.aspx]
