Searching multiple words within page separately

1. I am searching within a page using the Find function.
2. When I type in a search word, Find accurately highlights the word.
3. I am trying to search multiple words at once, and have Find highlight them separately.
E.g. Search for "motor OR cables" would search for "motor" and "cables" and not "motor cables" i.e. the search string has to be truncated to allow for each word to be searched separately.

SEARCH function in Adobe Captivate 8 so that the user can search key words within a project?

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to implement a SEARCH function in Adobe Captivate 8 so that the user can search key words within a project?

Hello again
Click the slide in the film strip, then examine the properties. You name the slide in the properties. And once you name it, the name should appear below the slide in the film strip, Then when you choose to enable the TOC, what you have there pulls in as shown below:
If you have already constructed your TOC and wish to change this later, repeat the steps of naming the slides. Then click the Reset TOC icon just above the Settings button in the TOC section of the Skin editor to pull in the new names.
Cheers... Rick

How can I highlight multiple words in Pages?

I would like to highlight multiple words in my Pages document so as to make changes to them all at once instead of each separately. My mac came with this new pages so I cannot just go back to Pages '09.
Thanks.

Why not?
Didn't you migrate from your old Mac to the new? In which case Pages '08/'09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Don't you have the original installers for Pages '09?
Pages 5 is mostly useless and unproductive. This is only one of the over 110 missing features.

Preview glitch when searching for words on page and when using text tools to write comments/notes on .pdf slides, why?

When using Preview to access my class notes as .pdf files, I have encountered extremely frustrating glitches when trying to search for specific words or phrases within the .pdf files and when trying to use 'text tools' to write notes on the .pdf slides. Preview did not behave in this manor with Mountain Lion OS. This seems to correlate with my recent upgrade to Mavericks OS.
When using the search function you should be able to type in any number of letters or words and press enter to continually cycle through the highlighted findings that match what you have typed in. Instead it now, typically, stops tracking what I type in after about 3-4 letters and the yellow highlight turns grey. Once it does this if you try to press enter to cycle through what it has found it no longer cycles. It never did this in Mountain Lion using the very same .pdf files I had previously used in the old OS, and it does this despite there being multiple matches for what I am searching.
When clicking 'show edit tool bar' button and then 'text tools' button to be able to free text notes on the .pdf file I have to exit out of the 'text tools' mode to be able to advance to the next page. This is extremely inconveneint and, again, Preview did not do this in Mountain Lion.
These are my two major complaints about Preview that I have discovered so far in my short time using it with the new Mavericks OS.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I have this issue too and was pleased to find this thread. Did either of you find the source of the problem or how to fix it?
I've tried using Wondershare PDF Editor as well and wondered that had messed some settings up. Have either of you used that?
If so, how would I revert to a clean version of Preview?
Hope we can get this sorted.

Multiple words don't work in search field

When I enter multiple keywords in any search field nothing shows up.
Let's say I'm looking for pink flowers. If I enter 'flowers' I see all my flower shots, as soon as I enter a comma, all photos disappear. If I go ahead and add 'pink', I still don't see anything. This happens in any search field whether in the browser or within a HUD.
If I use a HUD, add text fields and enter 'flowers' and 'pink', think I see pink flowers. If I use the keyword checklist in the HUD, I see pink flowers. But I can never use multiple words separated by commas.
What's wrong? I've checked the Aperture Manual and can't figure out why the multiple word method doesn't work.

I always use the keyword search panel in the HUD when I am looking for keyworded images...multiples work fine there. I suspect the "text" search field is parsed EXACTLY as it says, examining a string and looking for a match anywhere in the metadata. My suspicion is that the comma is being parsed as JUST THAT, a comma, rather than a search field separator.

10G-form: How to do MULTIPLE WORD OR SINGLE WORD SEARCH at ITEM?

I am using 10G DB + 10G Form Builder.
I've 'database_item' where I am storing multiline text data.
I want to do MULTIPLE WORD OR SINGLE WORD SEARCH at this item through FORM.
I've tried by creating the following NON Database Items on the form:
- multiline_search_text_item, and
- multiline_result__text_item
And then writing execute_query in KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger.
I've also tried using this in the POST-TEXT-ITEM at multiline_search_text_item:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item from table where multiline_search_text_item = :multiline_search_text_item;
Pl help me asap.
Gaurav

What you want to do is not clear.
The query you wrote will select records where the table contains exactly what has been written in the search item. You can use LIKE and a wildcard search to find records which contain the search text:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item
from table
where multiline_search_text_item LIKE '%'||:multiline_search_text_item||'%';
You can use UPPER to make this case insensitive:
select table.database_item into :multiline_result__text_item
from table
where Upper(multiline_search_text_item) LIKE Upper('%'||:multiline_search_text_item||'%');
But I suspect you want either to match the individual words in the search text to individual words in the database multiline field, or find records where the search words appear (not necessarily as whole words). In that case, check out the following:
-- set up a table (multiline and various whitespaces)
DROP TABLE t;
CREATE TABLE t AS
SELECT
ROWNUM rn,
owner||Chr(9)||object_name||Chr(160)||subobject_name||'    '||object_id||' '||
data_object_id||Chr(10)||object_type||' '||created||' '||last_ddl_time||' '||
timestamp||' '||status||' '||temporary||' '||generated||' '||secondary AS col
FROM all_objects;
-- check the format of the multiline text item (col)
SELECT * FROM t WHERE ROWNUM < 4;
-- a type for the function below
CREATE TYPE string_tab AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(255);
-- this function takes a string and cuts out each word, idetifying words
-- as being separated by any whitespace. it returns a collection
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION string_to_tab(
p_string IN VARCHAR2) RETURN string_tab IS
l_string LONG DEFAULT
    RTrim(regexp_replace(p_string,'[[:space:]]+',' ')) || ' ';
l_data string_tab := string_tab();
n NUMBER;
BEGIN
LOOP
    EXIT WHEN l_string IS NULL;
    n := InStr(l_string, ' ');
    l_data.extend;
    l_data(l_data.Count) := LTrim(RTrim(SubStr(l_string, 1, n - 1)));
    l_string := SubStr(l_string, n + 1);
END LOOP;
RETURN l_data;
END string_to_tab;
-- selecting from t where ANY of the words in the search text has
-- a match in the multiline field (as a word or part of a word), so SYS
-- matches to MDSYS and SYSTEM
SELECT DISTINCT
t.rn, t.col
FROM
t,
(SELECT column_value
   FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE InStr(t.col,x.column_value) > 0;
-- selecting from t where ALL of the words in the search text has
-- a match in the multiline field (as a word or part of a word), so SYS
-- matches to MDSYS and SYSTEM
SELECT rn, col FROM(
SELECT
t.rn, t.col, cnt_x, Count(*) cnt
FROM
t,
(SELECT column_value , Count(1) over(PARTITION BY 1)cnt_x
   FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE InStr(t.col,x.column_value) > 0
GROUP BY t.rn, t.col, cnt_x
WHERE cnt = cnt_x;
-- selecting from t where ANY of the words in the search text
-- match a word in the multiline field, so SYS matches only to SYS
SELECT DISTINCT
t.rn, t.col
FROM
t,
(TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab(t.col) AS string_tab))) t2,
(SELECT column_value
   FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE t2.column_value = x.column_value;
-- selecting from t where ALL of the words in the search text
-- match a word in the multiline field, so SYS matches only to SYS
SELECT rn, col FROM(
SELECT
t.rn, t.col, cnt_x, Count(*) cnt
FROM
t,
(TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab(t.col) AS string_tab))) t2,
(SELECT column_value , Count(1) over(PARTITION BY 1)cnt_x
   FROM TABLE(CAST(string_to_tab('SYS   INDEX') AS string_tab))) x
WHERE t2.column_value = x.column_value
GROUP BY t.rn, t.col, cnt_x
WHERE cnt = cnt_x;For your application you would replace 'SYS INDEX' with a variable (the search field). You can use upper() and wildcards for case insensitive & 'fuzzy' searches. You might need to modify the function so it removes other delimiters such as commas and colons.

Searching for multiple words

Wanted to ask if you knew of a script I could use or any other way to search a document for any words or phrases that appear in a specific list and highlight the word or phrase if it appears in the Pages doc. I'm using Word 2008 on a Mac. For instance, my list could contain the words 'solicitor' or 'lawyer' but also the phrase 'employment unfair dismissal'. My list has about 100 words and phrases that I need to search for in each Pages document. Ideally the script or other method would highlight in the Pages doc any of the words or phrases I am searching for. Thanks, Dave.

Hi,
No. My list looks like this:
Contact Law
Solicitor
Solicitors
Lawyer
Lawyers
Legal advice
Specialist solicitor
Specialist solicitors
Barrister
Barristers
Employment solicitor
Employment solicitors
Employment lawyer
Employment lawyers
Employment law
Employment law solicitor
Unfair dismissal

Claims for unfair dismissal
Constructive dismissal
Wrongful dismissal

No win no fee employment law

Plus maybe another 60 words or phrases. What I want to do is take the above list and check these words or phrases for how many times they appear in a Pages document. I can see how you can use the search feature in Pages for single words, but you can't put multiple words or phrases into the search field.
Cheers,
Dave.

When converting multiple word and excel docs to a combined PDF random pages have blue background in the finalized PDF.

I have a user using Acrobat 10. It was installed two weeks ago and initially had no problems. Today she reported that when she tries to convert multiple word and excel docs by selecting them, and right clicking on them to select convert/combine to PDF, random pages in the finished PDF have a blue background. I did some searching online and can find no information about this problem. Can anyone here shed some light on this issue and maybe point me in the direction of a solution? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Gilad,
So, something I didn't consider was that this could be a setting in the office docs. The reason I didn't consider this was be cause we tested multiple docs and had similar results each time. I went back and looked into this possibility and found a setting in word that was causing this issue. Although the word doc showed no page color when opened in word, if I went to "Page Layout" -> "Page Color", a shade of blue was selected. By selecting "No Color", and then converting/combining the docs to PDF we got the desired result. Thanks again for your reply!

How do I search for adjacent words within MS WORD?

I am new to Mac. I need to search WITHIN MS Word Documents for specific phrases. Example: Jim is a good boy. Spotlight will find all documents containing those 5 words, but not those 5 words together. There has to be a way...
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

First, thanks, I did. My naive take is that new plug-ins wouldn't be required.
Second - I don't know about Google finding every document, but it returns some pretty impressive results, and fast (so long as Google indexes the page in the first place of course). You've never used this feature? I do it all the time when I want to see if there's an internet version of a document I have in my hand.
Here's a random example the feature in action - I went to boingboing.net and snagged a phrase from the October archives: "You should give props to BabyStyle.com for the blue octopus costume". Here's the link to the October page:
http://boingboing.net/200610_01archive.html
and here's the link to the successful Google search:
http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&client=firefox-a &rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22Youshould+give+props+to+BabyStyle.com+for+the+blue+octopuscostume%22&btnG=Search
Pretty impressive - the internet is a big place!
Thirdly, there was a program written for OS 9 called "Gopher" that did just that. It was pretty handy. Come to think of it, it may have been written for System 8! It vanished from publication before there was even a web for it to be distributed on, and when I switched to OS X, it wasn't working well under 9. Of course outside of the personal computing realm, there are well known database programs like Lexis and Nexis that perform exact phrase searches on their databases, which are pretty extensive (at least as large as most document collections on most personal computers, I'd venture). In fact if you've never used those programs they have some pretty powerful functions, like searching for any occurrence of a word within so many words of a second target word.
I'll give you a couple of examples of where phrase searching might come in handy. Suppose I have a collection of e-mails or correspondence (I guess we all do) and I want to find the one in which I facetiously repeated the punchline to the chicken joke - "to get to the other side". (You have to grant I might have a reason for wanting this particular e-mail, okay?) Of course if I search on "get", "other" and "side" I may wind up with four or five hundred results; those are pretty common words. That doesn't help me much. A phrase search,however, will yield, I dunno, three or four documents. Bingo.
Or, here. I work in an office creating documents all day long. I've been working in this office, on PCs, for 16 years. That's a lot of documents. I may create three dozen or more on a single subject. The documents are all on the same subject and all pretty much have the same words in them. Maybe I've got a single paragraph printed from one of them and want to find the source document. A simple word search will yield back 80% of the lot. A phrase search typed in from the paragraph is almost certainly unique, however, and will give me my document in a blink.
(Um, I'd have to move all the documents to a Macintosh to do this, but you get the point I hope.)
Spotlight says it finds "anything anywhere" on your computer. I would use a feature like this *all the time*. Why shouldn't it be able to do it?

How to search a word and its page in Acrobat 6.0 using vb6.0

Hi all,
I would like to search a word and its corresponding page number in my PDF document. The word may be occur in many of the pages and i have to collect all the page numbers and need to create bookmark for all of them.
Eg: The word "Chennai" can be found in the pages 5, 6, 7 and10. Then I need to create bookmarks Chennai1 - Page 5, Chennai2 - Page 6 and so on...
I have tried this with Acrobat 7.0 professional and it was working fine. But in 6.0 Professional i am not able to collect all the pages. Below I have given the code that i have used.
Dim objFind As Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc
Set objFind = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Do While objFind.FindText("MyText", 0, 1, False)
                Dim objPageView As Acrobat.CAcroAVPageView
                Set objPageView = objFind.GetAVPageView
                strPageNo = objPageView.GetPageNum + 1
                If strPageNo = strPrevPageNo Then
                    intIncremental = intIncremental + 1
                Else
                    intIncremental = 0
                End If
                If intIncremental > 50 Then
                    Exit Do
                End If
                If Val(strPageNo) < Val(strPrevPageNo) Then
                    Exit Do
                End If
                strPrevPageNo = strPageNo
Loop
Thanks in advance,

Adobe no longer supports Acrobat 7 or earlier.

Multiple Word Search

Does anyone know how i can search a coloumn using multiple words without using string tokenizer I get all the values in the table everytime as it searches using " " unless you enter a string in every section. If you just want to search for one word it still displays every value in the table. The code is below
try {
StringTokenizer searchtoken = new StringTokenizer(searchwords,",");
String s1 = searchtoken.nextToken();
String s2 = searchtoken.nextToken();
String s3 = searchtoken.nextToken();
String s4 = searchtoken.nextToken();
String s5 = searchtoken.nextToken();
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
data, "", "");
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
searchwords = searcharea.getText();
ResultSet rec = st.executeQuery(
"SELECT * "+
"FROM data "+
"WHERE Annotation LIKE '%"+
s1+
"%' OR" +
" Annotation LIKE '%" +
s2 +
"%'OR"+
" Annotation LIKE '%" +
s3 +
"%'OR" +
" Annotation LIKE '%" +
s4 +
"%'OR" +
" Annotation LIKE '%" +
s5 +
while(rec.next()) {
//System.out.println(rec.getString("Location"));
searchBox.addItem(
rec.getString("Location") + " " +
rec.getString("Start_Time") + " " +

Does anyone know how i can search a coloumn using

If you just want to search for one word it still
displays every value in the table. That is how databases work.
If you don't want to search on a field then you must not include it in the clause.

Package search for multiple word string?

Ok, im feeling really dumb, but how do I search for packages using multiple words in a single string? For example if I do the command "pacman -Ss session manager" it will return a huge list of all packages with the word session and all packages with the word manager, but what i really want to see is the smaller list of only the packages that contain the entire exact string session manager.

For me yaourt does the trick if you use ezzetabi's example ('session.*manager'). However, for 'session manager' only it doesn't.
You could try packer (in AUR). I just tried all three of them and packer seems to also look for the two words together only if you use '... ...' only.

Search for multiple words in a field?

is there a way to search for multiple words in a field? for example, if i have a metadata field called NOTES that contains the string "Joe and Bob created this version on Sunday" is there a way to search for "Sunday, Joe, Bob" and have it return the asset?

Search using the "Matches Word" option instead of "Contains". That will limit your results to only assets that have a field value that includes all three of those terms. If they are not all included in the same field value, it will not return a hit. So if "Sunday" were in Keywords and "Joe" & "Bob" are in Notes, you would not get a hit for that search with "Matches Word".
"Contains" searches for the contiguous string in any field on the assets.
Further, if you add your Notes field to the Metadata Group "Asset Filter", it will appear in your advanced search options, asset subscription filters, and search expired responses. Then you can specifically limit the search to that field and choose from "Matches Word', "Contains", and several other search filters. Note that when you use "Matches Word" this way, you need to eliminate spaces from your comma delimited list of words or you will not get the search hits you want.

Displaying multiple dynamic html pages within a single Portal folder.

Hi all,
Question: How can I display multiple dynamic html pages that are linked to each other, within a single portal folder?
History:
I have a designer/web server application (PL/SQL packakges) on Oracle
8.1.7. Early in the development process we built it into WebDB2.2 and
used folders on the left side as a navigation bar and the contents of my packages on the right side. This was easy, WebDB used Frames.
Unfortunatley I could never automatically display a PL/SQL item in the folder area.
Now I need to integrate the application into Portal 3.0 not the early adopters version, the one with 9iAS (NT for now, Unix later). I have a page/content area divided into regions and a navigation portlet on the left side containing links to PL/SQL folders whose contents are displayed on the right side. On the right side I have (for example) a Queryview. When I click on any of the buttons (i.e. Find, New), I land in a new page outside of my portal folder. This page contains a dynamically built list (from one or more DB Tables) and of course the first column contains a list of links that bring you to the individual item. How do I set my links or configure my folder to display
within the portal folder area?

Hi,
One alternate is, increase the size of your screen, for this go to the layout of your screen and increase it as much you want, and also the custom container size, so that no scroll bar will appear at least.
Other solution would be, as you said ALVs will be dynamical, it will be good to create buttons, or links on the screen based on the no of ALVs dynamically and on click of corresponding button call the corresponding ALV.
But i dont think this will serve, first check the first option.
Hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran.

Hi Gaurav,
Ya thats what the probelm is that nothing is fixed.... There are six headers and there column number is fixed.
It should take 1st header search in column A if the word "Name"Comes twice it should read twice just below the header Name all the exciting values, then it should go for other Header "Gruop" in Column B and do the same. And this should be done for all six headers.
Eg:
A B C D E F G ------ Column number from excel
Group Number Name Rate IR FR Freq ----- these are headers
1 3 fgh 23 45 56 78
2 5 ty 56 67 67 67
Group Number Name Rate IR FR Freq ---- 2nd set of headers
4 3 ty 33 56 88 100
Hope that now i am bit clear
thanks a lot...
