Search terms not highlighted

When I search, the page moves down, but the search term is usually not highlighted. If I continue to search down, some results are highlighted. This is described by this message: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4010198#4010198. I would have commented there or clicked 'like', but there was no visible option on the page for me to do so.
Is this Adobe Reader problem being fixed or is there possibly anything I can do to fix it?
I have Windows 7 x64; Adobe Reader 9.4.5.
By the way, you might want to consider putting a 'check for updates' control in your product to encourage users to get up to the latest version. I do appreciate the link to the help forums.

Outlook 2013 Search Term not Highlighting

Hi
I have Outlook 2013 running on a Server 2012 RDS Server connected to Exchange 2010. When searching, the search term is not being highlighted in the results
Can someone advise
Zatdam

Zatdam mentioned outlook running on server 2012 RDS. The search function definitely doesn't highlight results even with those options ticked and highlight color is anything but white. Have you tested this out in terminal server environment? It works
fine on PCs and all but not in TS.
We just moved a bunch of users from local workstations to RDS 2012 and they use Outlook 2013 in Online mode. Their search works but it will not highlight the matching terms.
Is this by design in a RDS environment? is there a fix for this?

Why is selected text in the Twitter search box not highlighted?

Selected text in the Twitter search box is not highlighted. It should be highlighted. So far as I've noticed, this is the only place where my system doesn't highlight text properly. I can't find any references to this problem with the Twitter search text highlighting anywhere from anyone other than me.
I'm using Firefox 12 on Windows XP Home with the XP classic theme.

The word "This" in the above image should be highlighted.

Such issues have been reported as caused by a PNG image with a white color for the background.
A right-click on that search bar and opening the Inspector and disable the .global-nav .form-search .search-input { []background-color: transparent;} rule also makes this work. 
This works only as long as the search bar has focus. 
Not sure which rule is causing the selection not to work if the focus is removed.

Highlighted search terms in links...

If I search the forums, then the search terms are highlighted (yellow/bold) in the resulting messages. This is nice except when the search terms appear in a URL. The URL then does not function as a link anymore like it normally does in messages here.
For example:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/content.html
because of the highlighting becomes:
http://otn.<font%20style='background-color:/#ffff00'>oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/content.html)manual

What you seem to require is the search to return a list of results and to know which topic the user requires to see. No search output works like that. It is possible to highligh the searched keyword once you have displayed the topic (even with CHM files) but as Rick says it will not take users directly to it. That is true of all output types. Most output types have a find facility (CTRL + F) that can be used to find a keyword it requires the user to manually enter a keyword.

Highlighted search term

Hello,
I have integrated a 3rd party search in the Portal using <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5e514b57-0701-0010-3796-deb3636835fa">this</a>. The problem is that the search term is not highlighted in the search result list for results coming from 3rd party. Whereas if the result is coming from TREX the search term is highlighted.
All I could find was that TREX takes care of highlighting the search term and then this gets displayed. See the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/06/0ca63b4df12308e10000000a11402f/content.htm">Keep Content</a> parameter in this docu.
I guess this parameter is available only for indexes using the Trex Search Service and since my index uses my custom Search Service, I do not see this parameter in the config.
I want the search term to be highlighted in the 3rd party search result also?
Has anybody faced a similar problem and is there a way to achieve this?
Many Thanks,
Akhilesh

Hi Karsten,
Thanks for the explanation. I am looking for highlighting the search term in the content snippet. Yes the 3rd party returns an abstract and in my code i set the htmlSummary when creating the rawresult
rawResult.setHtmlSummary(resultElements.getResultField(NewsSearchResult.RESULT_KEY_DESCRIPTION));
where NewsSearchResult.RESULT_KEY_DESCRIPTION returns the search result abstract.
But i cant see the search term highlighted in the search results page.
If i use the standard TREX service for searching through docuents the search term is highlighted in the results page.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Akhilesh

When using Google Toolbar, and I begin entering a search term, several complete choices appear, but when I click on one of them, autocomplete does not fill in the search box.

Why does the complete suggested search term not appear in the search box when I click on it?

Probably caused by search redirect Malware.

I'm using Firefox 5 with Windows 7 64 bit. When I open a PDF file the file is very faint and the search function doesn't highlight the search term in the body of the PDF.

Dear Peter,

box "Install files for East Asian languages".
3. On the "Advanced" page select "Chinese" from the language
dropdown list.
Then I perform the following steps:
1. Use RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp (my Webhelp project
contains localized Chinese files).
2. In the "Search" tab, input a Chinese character(For example
"连接") and perform a seach.
Result: Serching...(or 正在搜索) or
No topics found (or

RoboHelp 5.0 - Highlight Search Terms

Hello,
I found the following page about highlighting search terms through Adobe’s forum:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/various_rh_projects/highlighting/index.htm
However, I was unable to download the Javascript .zip file from http://www.calvinly.com/weblog/000111.html (the actual link is http://www.calvinly.com/robohelp/highlight_search_X5.zip ). Is there another way to locate this file?
Thank you,
Connie

Hello,
I found the following information at
http://www.grainge.org/pages/various_rh_projects/highlighting/index.htm
Reference the Javascript File
The script is referenced by adding the following to in the <head> section of the page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="highlight.js"></script>
You can name the javascript file whatever you want as long as you amend the above accordingly. You will also need to enter path details if the topic is not in the root of the project. Click here if you need help with setting the relative path.
Call the Javascript Function
The topic you are reading calls the script by inserting the following immediately before the closing </body> tag.
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
This looks like a great feature. Can someone help me to locate a copy of the highlight.js file? (when I tried to download this file from http://www.grainge.org/pages/various_rh_projects/highlighting/index.htm I got a "file not found" message).
Many thanks,
Connie

Help will not search for search term

CS6, Windows XP. When accessing online help for CS6 applications, InDesign for example, InDesign Help / Help and Tutorials screen comes up. There is a box, Adobe Community Help with space for a search term and magnifying glass icon and the icon of the application for which I want help. When I type in the search term and click on the magnifying glass or hit Enter, nothing happens. Help does not search for term in question. What am I missing?

Robohelp 9: Error when using search terms including the word "not"

We are moving from Robohelp 7 to Robohelp 9. We realize that Boolean operators such as NOT are supposed to be working now, but we do have times when we might find ourselves using search terms that include the word "not" on its own.
The problem that we are finding is that if we search for something like "office not installed", because that phrase is part of a specific error message we might be trying to locate, we are getting the error, "The words you typed is not a valid expression" [sic].
We have tried making modifications to the Stop Words and Always Ignore words and can't seem to find a solution. We do need to be able to search using the word "not" as a regular search term. Even as a Boolean operator (NOT), we are getting the same error. Searching for "office installed" will get us the result that we want, but we have a team of users who will definitely instinctually search using the word "not" since it's part of the error they are searching for.
Thoughts?

Hi Benjamin
First, I don't believe the Always Ignore has anything to do with Searching. That particular list is used when you instruct RoboHelp to build an index using the Smart Index Wizard.
Actually, something like "Office Not Installed" is a perfect use of the Index. But I'm guessing here that your system doesn't include an index in favor of trawling through the pile of words in the project.
If you aren't using an index yet, I'd highly suggest you investigate it. In a properly indexed system your users will find what they are looking for infinitely faster and easier than they ever will by using Search.
Just a thought... Rick

Autocomplete in Google toolbar not working in FF 4.0. When I select a search term from drop down menu it doesn't load.

As I said, when I type in a partial search term in the Google toolbar and the drop down list appears, if I click on a completed term, it will not autocomplete it.

Mouse clicking wouldn't work for me either in the Google drop down box but up/down keys followed by enter do. I hope a quick fix is in order for this.

Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

hi eric. many thanks.
i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
does that question make sense?
i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from...
