Searching columns in Foundation

Hello,
I'm using Sharepoint 2010 Foundation for an intranet and document management.  I've found that our search searches the text within the documents only and not the information entered into the columns.  Strange
since the columns have the most important information!  I know I can filter based on the columns, and that is how we do things currently.  But if someone is searching on a keyword, if it shows up in a column, it should certainly be found.  To
this point I've wrote it off as something simply missing with Sharepoint but I have to believe that there is a way to do this.  How do I get the search service to crawl the columns?
I've dabbled with managed properties, and use some already, but that is not the same thing.  In order to use that you have to do columnName:searchTerm in the search bar and that isn't really the answer.  I want be able to just use "searchTerm"
and find every document that has that term in the document's text AND/OR in a column for a document.
How do I do this?  What am I missing?
thanks much!

Sounds odd. Can you check
crawled property section whether those columns exists or not? If they exists, then it has crawled.
Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is an administrator for the Search service application.
On the Metadata Property Mappings page, click Crawled Properties.
On the Crawled Properties page, click the crawled property that you are think missed

  • Provision Search in SharePoint Foundation 2013 without Domain Controller / Active Directory - Domain accounts

    Hi,
    I have successfully setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 as single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts since DMZ doesn't have an Active Directory and hence Domain accounts using powershell as described
    in https://theblobfarm.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/installing-sharepoint-2013-without-a-domain-controller 
    When I run Farm configuration wizard to provision search service application, I get an error:
    ERROR: "The service application(s) for the service "Search Service Application" could not be provisioned because of the following error: I/O error occurred."
    The log file logged the details of this error as:
    ERROR: "Failed to create file share Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 at D:\SharePoint Search\Office Server\Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 (System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid
    that cannot be translated."
    After investigation, I found that potentially the error could be because the timer service is trying to setup a network share for analytics component (as part of provisioning search). It is trying to setup that share with a domain account that happens to
    be a local user instead in this case and fails with error “System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated”.
    I got some pointer from the below thread
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c8e93984-f4e5-46da-8e8a-c5c79ea1ff62/error-creating-search-service-application-on-sharepoint-foundation-with-local-account?forum=sharepointadmin
    However, the above thread doesn't state that the solution worked.
    I have tried creating share manually for Analytics_<Guid> folder but it doesn't work since every time farm configuration wizards is run it creates a new Analytics_<Guid> folder.
    Since, I have setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a production environment I cannot test and trial various solutions.
    Can some please guide me on how to successfully provision search for SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup as a single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts (without Active Directory - domain accounts).
    Thanks in advance.

    Microsoft documentation doesn't always specifically call out all products (Project Server isn't there, either). But it does apply. You'll need to stand up at least one Domain Controller, or allow port access back to a DC.
    Preferably, set up SharePoint on the internal network and use a reverse proxy (which will terminate client connections at the reverse proxy) present in the DMZ.

  • Set default search column in Interactive Report

    Hi All:
    In APEX 4.0, for "Interactive Report" search function:
    If user doesn't select a column name to search for (this is done by click Magnifier glass icon), the IR will search "All Columns" that contains a string you have typed in the search bar.
    Is there a way to configure IR so that, by default, it will not search "All Columns", instead, it should search a particular column that I will specify when define this IR report.
    Why I am asking this? Here is my case:
    I have created a IR report to search employee information. By default, when user enters a string in the search bar, user want to search "Emploee Full Name" column in my IR report. User wants this default search behavior and really doesn't want to "click Magnifier glass icon and select "Employee Full Name" column; then type the search string).
    Basically, in my case, the IR report should default to search "Employee Full Name" if user doesn't select any search column.
    Any idea how to achieve this?
    Thanks!
    Kevin

    In the above DA, Changing the 'Event Scope' to 'Dynamic' should trigger it after PPR. I tried it but it's not working for me.
    Try the below it's working for me as expected,
    Create DA like below,
    Event: After Refresh
    Selection Type: Region
    Region: Select your IR region
    In True Action,
    Action: Execute Javascript Code
    Code:
    $s('apexir_SEARCH_COLUMN_DROP','COLUMN_LABEL');                           
    $s('apexir_CURRENT_SEARCH_COLUMN', 'COLUMN_ALIAS');
    In Affected Element,
    Selection Type: Region
    Region: Select your IR region
    Event Scope: bind (Default)
    Make sure Fire On Page Load under 'Execution Option' is checked. (i.e. Fire On Page Load: Yes)
    I am using APEX 4.0.2.00.07. It's working for me also in apex.oracle.come it's working in my example application.
    Thanks

  • Calendar Searches - Increasing Search Column Width

    When I use the search field to find an event in a Calendar, the width of the column is often to narrow to display the full event name.
    How do you enlarge the width of the search column?
    Your assistance would be appreciated.

  • Search in Sharepoint Foundation 2013 sp1 do not work

    When we type anything in any search bar, the result is “Sorry, something went wrong” with Correlation ID:
    aa0fb79c-5878-d0b4-2016-c1ebc17f3336.
    The server was originally installed with the 2013 Foundation beta version on a 2008 R2 server (single server installation). The content was migrated from a MOSS 2007 installation using “Quest Migration Suite for Sharepoint. The search
    feature has never worked.
    We upgraded to Sp1 (version 15.0.4571.1502) yesterday. The search did still not work.
    We checked the crawl status. It had been running for some 9000 hours. We stopped it and started it again. It was still running after 24 hours so we stopped it again.
    Under Monitoring / Review Problems and solutions a new problem appeared indicating that the index was fragmented. We hit the button above “Solve the issue” (or what it is called) and the error went away.
    To be sure we also went to “Search Service Application: Index Reset” and hit reset. After a while of “Working on it”, a page with the text “Sorry, something went wrong”
    appear with error message as below:
    There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://sp-server/8E2ECE/AdminComponent1/Management/NodeController that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP
    action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
    So we are really not sure wether the index was correctly reset.
    Going back to the crawl overview, a new crawl had been started. Having a look under Search
    Service Application: Crawl Reports - Crawl Rate, statistics as below:
    Crawl rate (dps) 0
    Total items 34
    Modified items 0
    Not modified items 0
    Security items 0
    Deleted items 0
    Retries 28
    Errors 6
    The crawl appears to be hanging somewhere here.
    What actions should I take?

    Hi Jonas,
    I recommend to clear the configuration cache to see if the issue still occurs.
    Please follow the link to clear the cache:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
    To narrow the issue scope, I recommend to create a new search service application to see if the issue still occurs.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Formatted Search Column Width

    Good Day
    Experts:
    Is it possible to set the column width in a Formatted Search?  Or perhaps a way to click between the column headings and maximize the width of the column before displaying to the User.  I would like to do this programatically for the User.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Hi Ed,
    with formatted search it's not possible.
    but with code it is

  • Add Search Column to Prospect Search

    Hello everyone,
    I added a few columns to the Prospect table that I would now like to include in the Prospect Search page.  Is there an easy way to do this without rewriting the page?  I did add a row with the column name to the SearchSetDetail and that did not work.  It threw an error, but I figure there is something simple along those lines, just don't have the "view" into how the backend is processing.  Could someone please let me know if this is possible and what steps would be required?  Thanks so much and have a great day!
    Kristen

    Hi Kristen,
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news again.
    But Webtools will not recognize those columns without a change to the code.
    Unfortunately, your best bet is to rewrite the page.
    Also, as a point of practice, you should add your custom fields in a separate table and join to the WT table, rather than adding the fields to our distribution tables.

  • I just typed in "top 40 hits in the search column in itunes, and the songs sound completely different! It doesn't even sound like the artist is singing the songs! What's up with that??

    I just searched for "top 40 hits on itunes and the songs that came up don't sound remotely like the ones i hear on the radio(not remixes) just the regular song, so what's up with that?

    They aren't the ones you hear on the radio.
    They are the same songs remade by some unknown label to make money.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

    Hi, 
    We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment. 
    In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
    after.
    Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
    Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all.  We
    tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
    to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

  • Sharepoint foundation 2013 Search Service Application.

    Hi all,
    I want to configure search application for sharepoint foundation 2013. I have followed some of the web links.
    But did not get success. Can you please provide me the working example of how to configure search application and run the crawl. And make sure the search is working correctly.
    Thanks  in advance for help.

    Hi Vishwajeet,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to configure SharePoint Foundation 2013 Search service application.
    In SharePoint Foundation 2013, we cannot add the Search Service to SharePoint Foundation 2013 from the Central Administration GUI after selecting a manual configuration method. It seems that the ONLY way you can add the Search Service to SharePoint Foundation
    2013 is by using the SharePoint Configuration Wizard.
    More information, please refer to the link:

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Configure Search Navigation

    I am testing out the search feature of Foundation 2013 and I want to allow my users to refine their searches via Result Sources.  From the instructions that I have read I should be able to do this in the Global Search Results page that I created ->
    Site Settings -> Search -> Search Settings.  It appears there should be a section for "Configure Search Navigation".  I do not have this option.  Is this something that is disabled in the Foundation edition of Sharepoint?
    For reference here is what I was following for instructions.
    http://en.share-gate.com/blog/sharepoint-2013-search-settings-and-search-box-drop-down-menu About halfway down the page it shows this configuration box.  I cannot see that on my Search Settings page at all.
    I have successfully created a Result Source that does work, but I seemingly have no way of presenting that to the user.  The Navigation WebPart also relies on the "Configure Search Navigation" settings, which I can't see in my setup.
    Suggestions?

    Hello,
    "Configure Search Navigation" is not present in SharePoint Foundation 2013, but it is still available
    via SOM (and PowerShell, of course). Try this if this helps (full url of Search Center on my dev environment is http://dev/search):
    using (var siteCollection = new SPSite("http://dev"))
    using (var site = siteCollection.OpenWeb("search"))
        site.Navigation.SearchNav.AddAsFirst(
            new SPNavigationNode("Test", "http://dev"));
        site.Update();

  • Search installation fails in SharePoint Foundation 2013

    As you all know there is no direct way to create a search service application in SP Foundation 2013 but when I try to create a new search service app using the Configuration Wizard it gives me the below error message. Did anyone encounter the same error
    before? Any suggestions on configuring search in SP Foundation 2013?
    Sorry, something went wrong
    The directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 is already being used by another IIS Web Site.  Choose a different root directory for your new Web application.

    Thanks Anil. But the issue is I wont be able to create a separate application pool for search using the configuration wizard. It doesn't give me an option to create one.

  • How to enable the search option for a column in an old report

    Hi ,
    I created the report. It works fine. I remember while creating the report, at one step, I was asked to sort, search column level (check option) . I skipped that option at that time. But now I want to check/ enable them . So, how and where to do that ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I think easiest way is re-create your report , so wizard do things for you.
    Other vise you need create "search bar" region and items manually and edit report where clause.
    You can first set your old report condition to never and create new report with same select.
    When you are sure that new report working ok, you delete old report.
