Search Results Window Disappears

When I go to Edit --> Search a window pops up and i can input my search term. Usually this will then display a Results: output with all the results listed below which I can see them in context. Now, this window closes immediately and i have to manually click through the results on the page. Any way to get this thing to stick around?

I guess that this is "by design". I'm observing exactly the same behaviour (annoying behaviour ).

Is it possible to select multiple files on the W8.1U1's SEARCH RESULTS window page? For instance, if 10 CPP files are found by the seraching mechanism, can I select all 10 files and have them open in Visual Studio at once?

TIA.

Brandon, this forum member is known since a long time ago an arrogant (he thinks he knows more than every other) and stupid(*) (full of misconceptions). His first post is a very good example of what I just wrote. How does he dare to suggest to use File
Explorer, if W8.1 already has a system built for doing just this search? Do I have to open File Explorer in the folder (or somewhere near) the item I'm looking for? What about the other items in folders above it? This suggestion is stupid(*). He even
asserts that I'm using Modern UI! I'm not! I'm using the desktop, but his misconceptions make him write such idiocies(*) with such arrogance: asserting what he doesn't know (arrogancy and stupidity). And more, this guy is no one to say he/he/he to me, because
I know he is what you deleted from my posts, and more, he is often crying, moaning and snivelling like a spoiled child in this forum and messing up any thread posting stupid(*) images of programs imagined/designed/developed by others. All posts from him in
this thread must be trashed (you should do it). He has nothing to contribute POSITIVELY in this thread, but just to MESS IT UP.
(*) stupid, I can write, after all, you didn't delete this word from this ... poster.
Now, look at the first reply: this forum member has no idea how much stupid is his 'work around'. And this 'work around' does not answer my question and even does address the environment I mentioned: W8.1 U1 search results window page, and not File Explorer!
His second post just reassures me he has no idea what is the searching mechanism I'm talking about. He even mentions Win-w(!) which proves he totally ignore what is the searching mechanism I'm talking about. A user like this one, must have many monitors to
keep him busy looking at them, and having excuses for not read and learn technical documentation. It's ignorance about technical aspects of computer issues that makes him post bad bug report and a bad idea in Connect site:
Using Get-Date -Format "CyM" to work around some bugs
https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/884502/using-get-date-format-cym-to-work-around-some-bugs
Only total ignorance about PowerShell makes someone post such bad 'bug' report. He got critics about his bad post, but I'm sure he doesn't understand.
Column headers for alias should include DisplayName instead of just Name
https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/908152/column-headers-for-alias-should-include-displayname-instead-of-just-name
In fact, the information displayed is already DisplayName, but this guy has no technical knowledge to understand what is happening.
These 2 forum members just messed up a thread that should be free of negative contributions, besides off topic.

Show properties in the Search Result window

Hello all,
I would like to add few properties in the Search Result window such that the corresponding values are visible at a glance rather than checking the same in the respective Details wondow.
Example: Ia have created new Properties like ReqNo, ReqDate... and would like them to appear in the Search Result window.
Please help me solve this.
Im also reading the UI topic given in help.sap.com but am unable to find the answer.
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Ritu

Hi Ritu,
Go to KM Config > Content Management > User Interface > Settings > Layout Set and put "Search" in the filter. You should see "SearchResultLayoutSet" and this is the Layout Set that is used to display Search Results. Within the Collection Renderer there is Displayed Properties, this is what you need to focus on.
There are some other threads and documents associated with your question here on SDN. If you do a search for "SearchResultLayoutSet" in the SDN search you should get enough information to achieve your objective.
Sorry for the brief reply but I have one foot out the door heading for the airport and won't be back online for another couple of days.
Let me know how you go

How To Eliminate Separate Search Results Window in iTunes 11

From my perspective (based upon how I use iTunes to create playlistsby searching for titles, listening, and selecting), the new format in iTunes 11 of showing search results in a separate window was totally unworkable. Fortunately, I found a CNET article that said how to revert to the old method. To disable the new format, and have search results show up in the body of your music library, all you need to do is this:
Click on the magnifying glass in the Search box in the uppper right corner of the iTunes screen
The first item in there is "Search Entire Library", and has a check mark next to it
Click on it to remove the check mark
That's it! Now your Search results will show up in the library itself, as it always has.
Until I found this quick fix, I was ready to trash the new iTunes and replace it

I found this article with the explanation on how to find this again. In the upper right corner of itunes (only when an item is downloading) you will see a downward facing arrow inside a gray circle with a blue status bar type line below it. If you click that it will show you your downloads progress.

Google Search Result Window Duplicating

Just recently at home and work computers (iMac G4s, OS 10.4.2 and Safari 2.0) Google search windows are duplicating. I have Google prefs set to open search results in new browser windows and when it does it now changes the 'back' window that has the Google search to display the same as the window with the results. This doesn't happen if I open the 'results' window behind the Google search window (Apple-Option-click) instead of in front of the search window (click). Weird.

Gets more interesting.
It seems to be the way Google has the pages set up. If I click on a main advertizer - the links at the top of the page that are highlighted with a light blue background, or the links on the right side of the page - the new page and the original page behave correctly.
If you click on a link that is in the main area the "Search Window Duplication" thingy happens.
Google has updated it's code recently so my guess is that this is NOT a Safari bug. Hopefully it will get addressed soon.

Synchronize results window disappears

I am using the Dual Monitor Workspace Layout and when I ask
DW 8 to synchronize, the results window shows for a split second
and then disappears. I have to click in the application "white
space" to get it to show back up.
Neither the 8.01 or the 8.02 patch addressed this in spite of
my reporting of that bug as early as MAX 2005.
Anyone experience this problem? Fixes?

Bump - anyone?

How do I get a 'search results' window to pop up?

I have a master/detail form that contains a master block (say dept), and a
detail block (say emp). I would like to be able to query by emp name, but when
I execute the query, I would like a 'search results' box to pop up that contains the name I
queried for, as well as some other emp info, and the dept no. There might be
multiple records that match my query, and I'd like them all to be listed (or
list 10 or so, with a scrollbar). I'd like a push button next to each record
that will take me back to the master/detail form with that record displayed.
Can you help me get started? I've tried some things, but can't seem to figure
it out. I'm using Forms 6i. THANKS!

How about basing a default block on a view that combines EMP and Dept.
Have a multi record block and let Forms do the work for you.
In enter query mode you'll be able to fetch based on any item, and the block will be populated with the details that match the criteria.
Now when you double click a record you can for example pass the empno to another block that will display the information you need.

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
Karin

IPhone 4S v7.1.2,safari search result- page disappears!

Can anyone tell me why, when reading a page - the result of safari internet search, the page drops and is replaced by lists of "for sale" apps? I find this most annoying. I've had this phone for a while and used it mostly as a phone. I took advantage of a Siri search and found something of interest but before I could finish reading the multiple pages it just all disappeared. Ask Siri the same question to try and find it again was a joke. Same question, different results. I did finally locate page again, but before I could write down the web address, the page vanished again! (I now know about bookmarks feature...) Is this normal functioning for this phone?

Same here. Also can't stand not being able to view attached picts the same way as before either.

Search Results Window Display

We have a RH8 project that has a custom, vertical layout that doesn't display the TOC, just some menu buttons and body content (WebHelp). When we search, the TOC page open, however, the page is so truncated that only part of the first result displays along with a scroll bar. Where can we change this so either the results display in the body page or we can customize the size of the results frame?

What version has search results in same window?

I currently have version 8.2.4
The full reader search opens in a new window. I don't like this.
There was a version where one could see search results in the same window as the document was displayed in.
What version was that, please, and do you know where I can download it from?

I never paid enough attention to the details of exactly how it worked previously, so I can't be positive whether you're right or wrong. If they did always open in a 2nd window, they did so in such a way as to seem like the same window:
The search results window now overlaps the document display window.
There are separate entries in the task bar for the document and the search results.
And I have to use Alt-tab to switch between the two windows.
What I do know for a fact is there was a version that did not operate that way. (And futzing around to resize the windows so they don't overlap is not an acceptable work-around.)
I am likely not using the official terminology to name things.
I've put up with it this way for a long time, but it's a stupid design and I want the old way back.
