Search Scope that Only Returns Sites

I'd like to create a search scope that only returns Sites. I don't want any documents, lists, items, or anything else in my results. How would I do this?Murray

You can use ContentClass:STS_Web
You can either create a scope or you can simply append it to any query using the search query web part. This would allow the user to search for "project1" and the executed query would be "project1 ContentClass:STS_Web" and therefor only return sites with project1 in the content.

How can i change my searches so that only UK sites/info are found. and i want to have a master password but don't know my existing one.

when i search for something it comes up with worldwide answers. i just want UK ones. also, how to set up a master password?

Hello lindyh, for specific Search results you can install specific Search Engine Plugins, example for google : http://mycroftproject.com/google-search-plugins.html
Google UK (SSL) en-GB (google.co.uk) by Mycroft Project

Search in Finder only returns results for "This Mac"

I'm experiencing the following, annoying issue with searching for files in Finder:
When I type a search text in Finder's search field, it only returns results when I select "This Mac". It does not return a single search result when being in any subfolder.
To make this a bit more clear assume the following structure:
| -– A
|    | -- B
|         | -- sample.pdf
|         | -- another-sample.pdf
|
| --- C
|     | -- yet-another-sample.pdf
|
| -- sample.pdf
I use finder to navigate to folder B. I type "sample" into the search bar. No results are returned.
Next I switch to "This Mac" and all of the above .pdf files are – correctly – returned.
The same happens when I'm in any other subfolder. Search only returns results when I switch to "This Mac".
Notes:
I'm not talking about network drives. All folders are local and below "This Mac" in the file system hierarchy.
I have forced Spotlight to reindex via sudo mdutil -E.
It happens on multiple machines, Snow Leopard upgrades and Lion clean installs.
Any idea? This bug renders Lion almost useful for me.

I had the same problem .... found this link

Portal Search Not Working - Only Returns Portal Content, Not TREX Indexes

I have configured two indexes using the portal. One is for documents that reside on the portal, and the other one is for a website that we have configured in TREX using Cruiser. The TREX Admin console shows that the website information has been indexed. However, when I search on a word in Portal, only the portal contents are displayed. Is there a different search field for looking up TREX/indexed files? I'm using the search field that's on the front page of the portal. Also, both indexes belong to the same index group. I did use the serach feature built-in to TREX Admin to verify that there were documents stored in the index.

A php search engine that only shows results that match entire serch string

I have set up a dreamweaver search engine through php and a fulltext search (WHERE MATCH (....) AGAINST (...). However, when someone inputs more than one word into the search form, the search engine churns out results that only have one of those words. How do I get it to only show results that have all the search string words inside? (or, at least, how do I get those results to show up at the top?)
I have seen some advice (here) that uses php code to process the search query, divide up the words, and place a BOOLEAN '+' between each of the words. By doing this, the search engine will only show results that fully match all the terms.
My problem is that I do not know how to put this code into my Dreamweaver-created code.
My dreamweaver created code:
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
 $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
 case "text":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
 break;
 case "long":
 case "int":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
 break;
 case "double":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
 break;
 case "date":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
 break;
 case "defined":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
 break;
return $theValue;
$form_rsSearch = "-1";
if (isset($_get['search'])) {
$form_rsSearch = $_get['search'];
mysql_select_db($database_dataConnect, $dataConnect);
$query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT title, content FROM encyclopedia WHERE MATCH (title, content) AGAINST (%s)", GetSQLValueString($form_rsSearch, "text"));
$rsSearch = mysql_query($query_rsSearch, $dataConnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearch = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearch);
$totalRows_rsSearch = mysql_num_rows($rsSearch);
$input_rsSearchResults = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
$input_rsSearchResults = $_GET['search'];
mysql_select_db($database_EMdataConnect, $dataConnect);
$query_rsSearchResults = sprintf("SELECT title, content FROM encyclopedia WHERE MATCH(title, content) AGAINST(%s)", GetSQLValueString($input_rsSearchResults, "text"));
$rsSearchResults = mysql_query($query_rsSearchResults, $dataConnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearchResults = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearchResults);
?>
and the code the website (link above) gives is:
function search(String $search_string) {
 //strip Boolean search characters out of search string
 $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"+","");
 $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"-","");
 $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"*","");
 //split the search string up into an array of words
 Array $tokenized_search = split($search_string, " ");
 //init an empty final search string
 String $processed_search = "";
 //for each word in the search, wrap it
 //with an + and * character and then append
 //it to the processed_search variable
 foreach($tokenized_search as $token) {
 $processed_search+="+"+$token+"* ";
 //build the sql for the query and query the DB
 String $db_query = "select id, description
 from product_descriptions
 where MATCH(description)
 AGAINST ('"+$processed_search+"' IN BOOLEAN MODE)";
 Array results = execute_database_query($db_query);
 return results;
If anyone can instruct me on the correct way to go about this, I would be very much obliged.
Thank you,

Don't use the Search bar, type the address in the Location bar.

Query that only returns items that will produce a result

Thanks to Mack for his help yesterday. I would really appreciate some help from anyone who is more SQL competent than I am. I have an SQL problem that is just completely over my head. I've created a nifty tagging system for the blog, that sorts by tags and by multiple tags, check out the beta here: http://committedsardine.com/blog.cfm
When a user selects a tag, it adds it to the value list SESSION.blogTags. If the selected tag is there already, it removes it. When the list for tags pops up, I output all the tags, and show their state. You'll see what I mean if you try it.
What this leads to is the ability to select a group of tags for which there are no query results. What I want to do is only show those that will generate results and how many results they'll show. Like this, select "fluency" by itself there are 310 entries
fluency (310) | digital (234) | writing (12)
Once fluency is selected, there are 13 articles that ALSO are tagged by "digital", but none that are tagged by writing:
fluency | digital (12) | writing
I have a table called blogTagLinks, that is just for tying a tag to a blog. It lists a blogID and a tagID. Here is a sample of it for reference:
blogTagLinkID
blogID
tagID

 </cfif>
 </cfif>
ORDER BY blog.blogDate DESC
</cfquery>

There might be a single query solution but here's a query that you
will need to run for each tag in the database (cfloop over all the
tags) and will give you the number of blogs that have the selected
tags + the current tag
SELECT Count(*) AS blog_count
FROM (
 SELECT blogID
 FROM blogTagLink
 WHERE tagID IN(<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"
value="#SESSION.blogTags#" list="true">)
 OR tagID = #currentTagID#
 GROUP BY blogID
 HAVING count(tagID) = #ListLen( SESSION.blogTags )#
 OR count(tagID) = #ListLen( SESSION.blogTags )# + 1
 ) AS blogs

Generating subtraction equations that only return positive values

Hello!
Can you please help me to create a random subtraction equation where the result will always be positive? For example, my current scripting will return something lilke 3-6=-3. I don't want equations like this- only postive answers.
Thanks for your help!
//random numbers
//1.
function randomNumbers(min:Number,max:Number) {
   var Results:Number=Math.floor(Math.random()*max)+min;
   return Results;
//2.
new_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showRandomnumber);
//3.
function showRandomnumber(event:MouseEvent):void{
   r1_txt.text = String(randomNumbers(1,10));
   r2_txt.text = String(randomNumbers(1,10));
   a1_txt.text = String(Number(r1_txt.text) - Number(r2_txt.text));

I see.
How about you try to pass the first generated value the second time you call the function? Like so:
// Your function definition.
function randomNumbers(min:Number,max:Number) {
   var Results:Number=Math.floor(Math.random()*max)+min;
   return Results;
// Connecting the event handler.
new_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showRandomnumber);
// Check the r2 line.
function showRandomnumber(event:MouseEvent):void{
   r1_txt.text = String(randomNumbers(1,10));
   r2_txt.text = String(randomNumbers(1,r1_txt.text as Number));
   a1_txt.text = String(Number(r1_txt.text) - Number(r2_txt.text));
Ofcourse, this leaves you with the possibility that r2 is the same as r1, leaving 0 after subtraction. But it shouldn't give you any negative numbers.

Query that only returns certain fields in Java

Currently I'm using a filter that identifies some keys, I then get all the keys and get a single value from each object. The rest of the object is quite large. I've seen references in passing on the ability to do this, using CohQL but I can't get it to work from Java.
Basically, I want to do: "Select field from "Cache" where key='asdf'". I just want to get back the specific "field" rather than the whole object. How do I do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
It should be easy if your object has a getField() accessor. Hope this helps ...
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15357_01/coh.360/e15723/api_cq.htm#CEGDIJEC
Using Path-Expressions
One of the main building blocks of CohQL are path-expressions. Path expressions are used to navigate through a graph of object instances. An identifier in a path expression is used to represent a property in the Java Bean sense. It is backed by a ReflectionExtractor that is created by prepending a get and capitalizing the first letter. Elements are separated by the "dot" (.) character, that represents object traversal. For example the following path expression is used to navigate an object structure:
a.b.c
It reflectively invokes these methods:
getA().getB().getC()
For example ...
Select the home state and age of employees in the cache ContactInfoCache, and group by state and age.
select homeAddress.state, age, count() from "ContactInfoCache" group by homeAddress.state, age

How to limit the search scope in single site collection for SP2013?

On our SP2013 farm, there is one web application and 4 site collections under it. At the beginning I was trying to setup 4 different "Content Sources" but Sharepoint warn me that I can only setup 1 source per web application.
I don't want user search at site collection A get search result from B, C and D. Also I like to use continuous crawling. What is the best practice to achieve? Thanks.

Cubeset to only return positive values?

Yet another cube formula question... In Excel 2010, no powerpivot or olap pivottable extensions, this is a pure Excel project.
I am building various cubeset, cubemember, and cubevalue formulas to validate an ETL process.
Question:
I need to create a cubeset that only returns the members of a cube that have positive values for a specific measure. This cubeset will then be one of several cubesets that gets fed into a cubevalue formula that would otherwise exceed the 255 char limit.
I can create a cubeset for the overall measure:
=CUBESET("MyCube","[Measures].[RetailPrice]")
but haven't found the right syntax for limiting results to only those that have positive values, I think it would be something like:
=CUBESET("MyCube","FILTER[Measures].[RetailPrice],[Measures].[RetailPrice]>0")
This syntax actually doesn't return an error, so maybe it is valid syntax... but when I wrap it in a simple cubevalue statement,
=CUBEVALUE("MyCube", A2) where A2 is the Cubeset above, or if I also add date range and other filters,
I get a #Value error, indicating that "the tuple is invalid" per
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/cubevalue-function-HA010342391.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA010342384
I'm still a newbie with the cubeformula syntax and MDX, so I appreciate any suggestions!

Hi Rohit-
The cube has a net value of 1220 for the measure I'm trying to calculate (when I don't filter on > or < zero).
I tried my formula both ways (looking for just positive, and just negative values) and while both work in the standalone cubeset formula, neither return a value when I use it in a cubevalue formula.
My suspicion, other than a syntax error, is that this may have something to do with me trying to filter on the measure value(s), instead of a dimension- which I think must be possible, but again maybe not with this syntax.
Let's assume that we had a total of 1280 in retail price, but due to a few returns, we have a few records that show value of -60. If we were looking at profitability, the 1220 is what matters. If we are looking at "dollars exchanged" as a variable expense
driver of some other measure, then we'd actually want the absolute value of retail price (1280+60 = 1340). I hadn't been able to get the MDX ABS to work, so this was my attempt to grab the positive and negative numbers separately, and then add them to get
the equivalent of ABS.
In this case, slicers aren't a desirable option due to how the report is being constructed (I've used slicers in other reports with cubeformulas, but with Excel 2010 I have to have an extra pivot table to get the slicer value, which then has to get fed into my
cubeform and I'm back at step 1, getting it to work in the cubeformula syntax)
Thanks!

Site Collection level Search Scopes after Upgraded to 2013

In SharePoint 2010 we have good amount of site collection level search scopes and it has been heavily used in search scope down.
Please correct me if any of my below statement is wrong
1.After migration these scopes cannot be used and it will not appear in search drop down.
2.Only opition I have is to create Result Source and Configure search navigation at Site Level?
3.For Result Sources to appear in drop down I need to have individual search page for every custom result source.
I would really appreciate your inputs
Thank you
Vijay

1. Usually 2010 Search Scopes can be used after migrating to 2013. What you can't do is edit them or create new ones. However, I've had mixed luck with them. About 75% seem to work, with the rest being broken beyond repair.
2. If the migrated scope doesn't continue to work your only real option is a REsult Source. To add them to the dropdown you will need to configure the navigation at the Site level.
3. Result sources can re-use result pages used by other Result sources. You need a Result source for each entry, but that result source may point to the same page as another result source.

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

How can I search a file system and only return newer files?

Sorry the title didn't give me much room to work with. I'm writing a tool which needs to track all the files in an OS. What I'd like to do is make it so my program will only return files that have been modified/created since the last search to add to my program. I was wondering if there's an efficient way to do this other than checking each file's timestamps? Also is there a way to tell from a parent directory whether any files in its directory have been modified/created? I'm looking for ways for Windows and Linux.

I have no problem checking timestamps but it can be rather time consuming doing this. I don't know if this is quicker but I'd like to sort by modified date and check the time stamps for newer timestamps than the last time I ran. This way if I hit a time stamp equal to my last run I know to stop there. I checked Windows and the folder does tell you whether any file was created/modified in it's directory. However, if a file is created in one of its children's directories it won't update the time stamp. It's unfortunate because I could've avoided the search at a higher level directory otherwise. Without this I'll have to walk the whole structure one way or another. I can still improve the speed but I can't make it as efficient as I'd like.

How to show only Indexes in Search Scope

Hi All,
Is it possbile to allow users to choose only Indexed in search scope.
I tried editing the Search Options set, there i found that I can enable and disable search scope, but whn search scope is enabled both the Indexes and folders are visible.
I want to show only Indexes to the user. How can I hide the folder options alone in the search scope?
Thanks and Regards
George

Instead of using the Search Options set in the KM Search iView, use the Search Component Set.
Create your own Search Component Set by going to System Administration > System Configuration > Knowledge management > Content Management > User Interface > Search > Search Components
While creating the Search Component Set, Specify Component for Search Options as search_input_indexes.
This should help you.
Or you could do the following.
In the Search Options set, Do the following.
1) Uncheck Enable Search Scope Selection.
2) Provide the various index names in Search Index IDs (csv)
The above option would by default search the selected indexes for the search term and would not provide the user with the functionality of searching in folders.
