Searching Server finds no results

I have a G5 running 10.5.8 server software and all my user machines are running 10.4.11 on G5's and mac mini's. When trying to do a file search on the connected server it yeilds zero results no matter what we type in. Even if we are typing the exact file name of a file that we are looking at on the server.
Any help would be greatful.
Thanks

This sounds like it is not seeing or searching the server. When you have the check box to search non-indexed files it re-indexes everything, even if it is already indexed. This process can take awhile if you have a lot of files.
Check to see what the screen says wihen it shows indexing \"xxx" and make sure it goes where you want it to.

Search of forums using global portal search (TREX) finds no results

Hello,
we are running EP 7.00 SP 12, and have installed and configured the forums application.
According to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/47/17904a21fa3696e10000000a11466f/content.htm], it is also possible to search the forums using the global portal search.
After the forums installation, the index and queue were automatically created for the forums. TREX Delta indexing of forum object is enabled in System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Repository Managers -> Forum Repository. As I understand it, this should be enough for TREX to be able to index forum objects. There exist some simple threads in the forums, but when searching in the portal for some keywords that exist also in the threads, I get no results.
I looked at the queue of the forums index, and there have been only 6 entries, so I performed a reindexing and got now about 24 entries, but still the portal search returns no result.
Is there anything that I've missed or any further suggestions to test for?
P.S. I am quite new to the SAP (NetWeaver) domain, maybe I missed some mandatory settings or configurations...

Hi Martin,
thanks for your reply.
Till now, I didn't manage to solve the problem. I was away the last week, so I didn't had any time for working on this issue.
Currently I am not able to test your suggestions, because there is a new problem with the index. The index has now the state "pending". Because of this state I am not able to perform any further actions like re-indexing and so on. On help.sap.com there is only little information about this state. But for me it looks like, that there has to be performed some actions in the TREX Admin Tool, so that this index can be used again.
I tried also the following on the portal:
- Delete this forum index
- Disable TREX delta indexing in the forums repository manager
- Enable TREX delta indexing in the forums repository manager.
This caused the creation of a new index for the forum. This new created index had however the initial state of "pending"...
Has anyone further suggestions on this topic?
P.S. Has someone successfully implemented such a scenario in his portal? (global portal search for forums)

Search Server 2010 Express: Open a PDF document from list of search results invokes adobe reader client application with error

Hi community,
I set up search server 2010 express on a windows 2008 r2 server.
The Adobe PDF iFilter 9 64 bit is installed and search is correctly configured to find PDF-files.
When doing a search and clicking on a link of the result page, the PDF is not opened in the browser, instead the adobe reader XI client application (11.0.04) is invoked and an error raised like "could not open document .. check syntax of url..."
Right click on a link to open in new tab works fine. And PDF-Files from other arbitrary Internet Sites opens in browser correctly. Moreover when configure Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as default application on the client it also open in Browser correctly.
I noticed googling the web there are several challenges when dealing with PDF-files in sharepoint. The following settings are made so far:
1. In IE: Add-On to open PDF in Browser is enabled for all sites.
2. Client Integration is enabled
3. The OpenControl attribute in the DOCICON.xml is left empty OpenControl="" for the pdf entry.
4. The Browser File Handling is set to "Permissive".
Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.
I appreciate any help on this. I don't know what to do further.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.
Before responding to your points I want to give a little more context:
We have an intranet based on pure html and a little aspx containing many of those pdf- files. By clicking on the links in the intranet the files open correctly in browser handled by the adobe plugin. Now we set up this search server crawling the file system
accessed through a share to the root folder of the intranet. In the search server settings a host mapping rule is applied to replace the file://[share] with http://[intranet host+domain+port] to access files over http.
And now to answer your question. The resulting urls are the same, copying the link from intranet and copying the link from the search result (except some case issues).
The event viewer not seem to show any errors on this, though I'm not very familiar using it.
If any further information are from interest and any ideas come to your mind - please let me know.
Thanks.

Full-text search in published project finding zero results for multiple-word entries

[RH10, IE10, Windows 7]
I manage a large WebHelp project that has produced correct search results in the past. At some point the search function stopped finding results for entries of more than one word. For example, it won't find any results for "project plan" even though searching for either "project" or "plan" separately will correctly return results including the numerous pages containing either "plan project" or "project plan".
TCS support is having a look at the files. So far we have found that this occurs under Google Chrome as well as IE 10, and also that the same error occurs if we publish to FlashHelp.
BTW, I have another similarly configured project that does not display this error.
I was hoping someone might have encountered this and can suggest a fix.

Hi Rick,
We do have baggage files of all sorts but in this project they are excluded from search.
At one point in this project Search failed completely; the Search pane came up blank after generating. I was advised by a TCS support person that PDF baggage files (and not just “errant” ones!) will kill the search function (hmmm…) and must be excluded from search (in the WebHelp layout properties). That proved to be right and fixed the problem. Search worked fine for a while until I observed this new thing.To be extra-cautious I have excluded ALL baggage files from Search, at least until we can eliminate whatever this new issue is.

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
http://osxdaily.com/2007/02/15/spotlight-wont-work-fix-a-broken-spotlight-menu-w ith-these-troubleshooting-tips/
And solution 3 the simplest, no wait the wierdest,

worked for me ...... go figure.

Find/Search app with hierarchical results?

Anyone know of a search application that gives results in an hierarchical order?
I know the most recent version of Find-Any-File does this, but unfortunately it is far too slow when thousands of files are involved.
An excellent old app that I used many years ago with OS Classic was UltraFind... but unfortunately I have not seen anything comparable since.
It would probably have to work with Spotlight in order to be quick.
Does anyone know of such an application?
TIA
RonL

Hi,
You are trying to implement auto complete for a text input element. This can achieved best with the use of the JQueryUI autocomplete. Here's a complete tutorial to implement this JQuery function - JQueryUI autocomplete full tutorial and demo
This function can create suggestions based on the user's input. These suggestions can be a list of words you create or can be fetched from a database. You'll find source codes and demo also for all of this on the above link.
Also, if you want a Facebook style suggestion drop down, try this - Search prediction based on user input
But this does not allow keyboard navigation in the drop down. you would have to select using a mouse pointer

Searching in Finder gives no results on Mavericks. Spotlight is working.

When I try to find something by searching in Finder (I am typing in the find space), nothing comes up at all. It doesn't matter if I click on a folder or "This Mac", it is all empty.
This problem occurred after downloading Mavericks. My spotlight is working just fine. Before I downloaded Mavericks, I used this feature daily. Now, I can't use it at all.
This is what I am seeing. Help!

Dear all,
This may sound obvious and rather old fashioned but I too suffered the following problems
1. Search not working in Mail
2. Mail Junk and Trash folders missing
3. Search not working in Finder
I fixed it by........restarting my mac.
Now everything works.
Give it a try.
Fingers crossed,
Cheers.

How can I search and find all files modified since december 1st 2010

I just want to see all the files that have been modified on my Windows Server 2008 since December 1, 2010. I want to see if there is anything unusual. Is this possible without 3rd party software?
I support 2 Windows Server 2008. On one of them, I can't seem to get any advanced search options until I type at least one character in the name of the file I am searching for (but I want to search all files). Even then, the search is slow, it
tells me it did not bring back all results because there are too many and the results window is too awkward to navigate. On the second server, when I click in the search box, it has buttons I can click, one is "Date Modified" but they only have predefined
options like "Last week" and "yesterday".
Every version of windows explorer gets worse and worse at searching. I rarely use it anymore. I usually install "Search Everything" from voidtools.com. You can download, install, index, and search and get your results all more quickly than
finding the results in windows explorer.

Hi,
It should be caused that Windows Search is not installed on the second server. See following steps to install it:
1) Start Server Manager
2) Click on Roles in the left navigation pane
3) Select Add Role in the Roles Summary pane to the right
4) Select the File Services role and click Next
5) Select the Windows Search role service and Finish the wizard.
Meanwhile, when you search for a file such as "data", input keyword data and click the Advanced Search at the bottom to result box. Then you can select "Data and modified" and "is after" December 1, 2010

Cannot find paged results cookie

I have made an application, that works when accessing edirectory 8.8.2
(on a windows server, not that the platform matters I suppose).
I am able to do a paged ldap search, and my results are coming back to
me, nice and paged, like they are supposed to.
When I try the exact same code against a oes2sp1 with 8.8.4, I get
something like this (and only the first page of results)
(192.168.0.160:2151)(0x0003:0x63) controlPagedSetup: cannot find paged
results cookie
(192.168.0.160:2151)(0x0003:0x63) Sending operation result 53:"":"" to
connection 0x6804380
Why is the server saying that, and what does it mean? I don't recall
any possibility of setting cookies in the ldap api (actually an delphi
ldap control)

I have found the Paged Results Control to work:
http://ldapwiki.willeke.com/Wiki.jsp...deSortControls
Not sure about 8.8.4 or using Netware as all my attempts are 8.8.2 &
8.8.3 and on Linux/Unix.
Send me an email: jim at willeke com and we can try some things.

SharePoint 2010 functioning incorrectly after installing Search Server Express

Hi,
and thanks for taking the time to lend a hand and your knowledge. I have a Sharepoint Foundation 2010 site that has went crazy after I tried to install Search Server Express - which FAILED near the end.
I have checked the logs for the correlation Id provided on the SPF site when it errors.
03/05/2015 10:02:23.75 w3wp.exe (0x101C)      0x1264 SharePoint Foundation         Runtime
tkau Unexpected System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.    at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.ListEditPage.SetSectionLinks()     at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.ListEditPage.OnLoad(EventArgs
e)     at ASP._layouts_listedit_aspx.OnLoad(EventArgs e)     at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()     at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) b5f617dc-5d0e-4c5b-92fa-1b7e5a12f2e3
My issue now is that it appears I will need to remove the SSE install, but from what I can see online this can have a serious impact on the SPF site. I really want a few opinions as to what my best route to take would be on this issue.
Also, I am wondering what would happen if I run the install again of SSE, would it resolve,
OR
is it going to be a matter of detaching the content database and reinstalling SPF2010, and reattaching the content database (P.s. I have a back up of this database of approx. 4Gb from before I ran the install that has ruined the last two days of my life!!!)
Kind Regards,
AG06

Solution...
Over the weekend I was able to detach the Database, delete the original Web Application on Port 80.
Reattach the Database to new WebApplication and extended it to my current URL.
This was brilliant and it required minor config in terms of redeploying some custom solutions and WebParts.
The result was perfect and it confirms that because SearchServerExpress (which is now working perfectly I may add after a new install which ran without errors) failed to finish its installation.
P.s. I recommend that if you complete this, you back up almost everything you possibly can (as I did) - better to be safe than to be sorry.
P.s.s. Before I deleted the original Web Application on port 80, I had tested my theory on a new Web Application on port 400 (any port is fine providing it is not being used). This illustrated to me that it would work - I didn't just go deleting Web Applications
for the fun of it!

Search server express Content Source Type for file download

Hi All
We have recently installed Search Server Express 2010 in our organization. Now we want to create content source to search from our file server files.
Have used “File Shares" as "Content Source Type", and now this is working perfectly fine. But whenever we try to download the
files which are there in search result we wont be able to do that.
As well as search result shows the complete path of the file on file server.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

1. Should be much faster than that. Make sure you have an index on the KEY column (or, if a view, on the underlying column that the view is created on). Otherwise it will do a full table scan for each row it fetches.
2. 40 threads sounds a little high - we found the optimum level was between 10 and 15 threads. Have you checked the memory usage on the system? Perhaps all your threads are causing your system to page.
3. The column returning "LastModifiedDate" determines whether the content for that row needs to be reindexed. If LastModifiedDate is unchanged since the last crawl, the row will not be reindexed.

I'm a MB Pro beginner (after 25 years with PC). I have an Iomega ext HD, but how do get it indexed. I'm trying searches in Finder, and it says "searching Iomega drive" - but I don't think it's indexing. How do I force it to index?

Well I'm leaning the other way. I think my present MBP will be the last Apple product I buy.
With the way Apple is going, all New Mac computers are sealed unit that don't allow the user to upgrade them in any way. They are getting more expensive initially. They are impossible to fix, even by Apple. All the parts are either soldered to the Logic Board or glued inside the case parts. The add on warranty only covers manufacturing defects and is expensive. And to fix one out of waranty is close to if not more then a new system.
The only thing different in a Mac, and most other products Apple sells, is the operating system and the cases they come in. As for the OS both have their glitches and at this time there are no viruses that infect OS X. There is more software available for Windows. More choices as to what hardware you can use or upgrade to at a later date.
Mac computers are becoming large iPads or iPhones with built in keyboards.

Firefox, google chrome, IE8 lose the ability to search and find text on certain archived books. IE7 can search and find. Is there a way to fix this?

Firefox, google chrome, and IE8 all have the same error. The search and find functions for certain on-line archive books does not work on these browsers. They claim that text does not exist. In IE7 the text is found. I can be typing in a word I see on the page and all three still bottom out with this error. Try this with the Scots Dialect Dictionary:http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924026538813#page/n5/mode/2up
or
A Glossary of Tudor and Stewart Words ( a google book even) http://books.google.com/books?id=hPhLAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA198&lpg=PA198&dq=tudor+exclamations&source=bl&ots=8DFgw_eH8t&sig=-Mxf2gwq3nZDVLOCn_y06ZBRIfA&hl=en&ei=O-dNTey0H8PdgQf_2cgf&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CDIQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q&f=false
Again the search and find function works with IE7 but not these new browsers. And I would love to upgrade from IE7 but cannot.
Any way to fix this on Firefox?

Works for me on Linux with Firefox 10.0.1
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Name in Find User Results Form

Hi:
I need to hide (or quit) the first column (Name) in Find User Results Form. It is possible?. There is a function that indicates all of columns, but the first column is not there.
If is not possible to hide or quit it, can i move it to another position?
Any idea?
Thanks.
MJ.

Here is the summary:
To set attribute view visibility/query indexing/accounts list view,
edit in UserUIConfig.xml ->
SummaryAttrNames
QueryableAttrNames
AppletColumns
To modify Accounts Find Users and search results,
edit idm/sample/userSearchDefaults.xml
getSearchableAttrs
getResultColumns
If you do this method, you will not need to edit
Find User Form
OR
Find User Results Form !
This simplifies the problem greatly.
I hope this helps somebody, because i didn't get any info from the forums.

Need some advice with indexing and search server in multihomed environment.

Hi,
I want to introduce the JISS (java indexing and search server). We have an multihomed environment with two frontends for convergence and imap/pop proxy service and two mail stores in a cluster HA environment
(Sun cluster 3.2, messaging server 7u3-15.01, convergence 1.0-12.01 running on glassfish 2.1.1). The directory servers (multimaster) are on speperated servers.
I viewed the jiss deployment pages in the wiki (http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Indexing+and+Search+Service+Deployment+Planning), but they are more confusing than helpful.
My questions are as follows:
Can I put the jiss web service on the convergence server (to share the same glassfish server?
Is it better to put the indexing part of JISS on a seperate server or on the convergence server or better on the mail store servers?
Can I run the JMQ broker in an HA environment on the cluster? Is it possible to run JMQ together with messaging server in the same cluster group?
Can JISS index two mail stores (I didn't find anything in the config guide)?
Best Regards,
Ruediger

"Indexing requires significant CPU resources, thus, it is best to install the indexing service on a separate host dedicated to an ISS single server installation. If this is not an option, then install ISS on the back-end host as a single server installation, and install GlassFish Server as well for ISS."
