Searching with Boolean?

Hi,
I have been making new smart folders of All images, All Movies, and all Documents. The one I am stuck on is the All Documents. I just want Word, Apple works, Text Edit, PDFs etc...,all the main document types with text. In the searches I have been trying I can't prevent things like delicious files or html from appearing in the result of the search.
How does boolean work here. I have trying to figure out what to type:
.cwk AND .doc AND .pdf.....?
What should I type and should I be using wildcard as well?
Any help appreciated.

I've been fooling around trying to figure out how to do what I used to be able to do--not easily, but doable with Raw Queries--in Tiger. So I thought I would try searching for various movie types. What worked for me was this:
1. Leave the "Kind is Any" default as it is
2. Option click the + button and select "Any of the following are true"
3. Select File extension and type the first extension, for instance wmv (don't seem to have any avi files any more, so I used wmv)
4. Click the + at the end of that line to get the next sub-thing
5. Pick File extension again, type mp4
You should get a list including BOTH types of files. Anyway, I did. I added another sub-criterion of file extension is mov, and those files were added to the list. I kept experimenting with clicking the + in various spots, and Option clicking, and finally managed to construct a search that would translate to: "Find all files with the extension wmv, mp4 or mov that were opened this year and are not aliases."
As for the non-obviousness of the GUI, and the lack of documentation, well, for several years I've been wondering if Steve Jobs is a friend of David Pogue's and wants Pogue to make a lot of money with the "Missing Manuals" cottage industry Pogue has going. Perhaps there is some other explanation. I would like to hear it. Anyway, with Leopard it finally occurred to me: while the old Easter Eggs have been rigorously suppressed, what we have instead is an entire OS that is one giant Easter Egg to keep the faithful entertained.

Full text Search Issue with Boolean AND Search in 2012 server

We are trying to use CONTAINSTABLE function with BOOLEAN AND search, but unable to get expected results in sql server 2012.
If use BOOLEAN OR search we get expected results.
Full text indexed table is having more than 10 millions of records. we checked index fragmentation level is 82%. then we done Rebuild. Even after rebuild, unable to fetch expected results with AND SEARCH.
The below query is used
SELECT ft.* FROM FT_ROWS ft
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(FT_ROWS, summary,
' "manifest" AND "version" ') AS key_tbl
ON ft.log_id = key_tbl.[key]
if we remove ( "manifest" AND ) from the search string, then getting some results but AND search is not returning expected results.
Please help any suggestion
kkprasad

The explanation that is closest at hand is that you have no documents with both of these words in them.
An alternate explanation is that you have accidently entered "manitest" into your stoplist.

How to search with multiple constraints in the new java API?

I'm having a problem using the new MDM API to do searches with multiple constraints. Here are the classes I'm trying to use, and the scenario I'm trying to implement:
Classes:
SearchItem: Interface
SearchGroup: implements SearchItem, empty constructor,
             addSearchItem (requires SearchDimension and SearchConstraint, or just a SearchItem),
             setComparisonOperator
SearchParameter: implements SearchItem, constructor requires SearchDimension and SearchConstraint objects
Search: extends SearchGroup, constructor requires TableId object
RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand: setSearch method requires Search object
FieldDimension: constructor requires FieldId object or FieldIds[] fieldPath
TextSearchConstraint: constructor requires string value and int comparisonOperator(enum)
BooleanSearchConstraint: constructor requires boolean value
Scenario:
Okay, so say we have a main table, Products. We want to search the table for the following:
field IsActive = true
field ProductColor = red or blue or green
So the question is how to build this search with the above classes? Everything I've tried so far results in the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Search group nesting is currently not supported.
     at com.sap.mdm.search.SearchGroup.addSearchItem(Unknown Source)
I can do just the ProductColor search like this:
Search mySearch = new Search(<Products TableId>);
mySearch.setComparisonOperator(Search.OR_OPERATOR);
FieldDimension myColorFieldDim = new FieldDimension(<ProductColor FieldId>);
TextSearchConstraint myTextConRed = new TextSearchConstraint("red",TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
TextSearchConstraint myTextConBlue = new TextSearchConstraint("blue",TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
TextSearchConstraint myTextConGreen = new TextSearchConstraint("green",TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
mySearch.addSearchItem(myColorFieldDim,myTextConRed);
mySearch.addSearchItem(myColorFieldDim,myTextConBlue);
mySearch.addSearchItem(myColorFieldDim,myTextConGreen);
the question is how do I add the AND of the BooleanSearchConstraint?
FieldDimension myActiveFieldDim = new FieldDimension(<IsActive FieldId>);
BooleanSearchConstraint myBoolCon = new BooleanSearchConstraint(true);
I can't just add it to mySearch because mySearch is using OR operator, so it would return ALL of the Products records that match IsActive = true. I tried creating a higher level Search object like this:
Search topSearch = new Search(<Products TableId>);
topSearch.setComparisonOperator(Search.AND_OPERATOR);
topSearch.addSearchItem(mySearch);
topSearch.addSearchItem(myActiveFieldDim,myBoolCon);
But when I do this I get the above "Search group nesting is currently not supported" error. Does that mean this kind of search cannot be done with the new MDM API?

I'm actually testing a pre-release of SP05 right now, and it still is not functional. The best that can be done is to use a PickListSearchConstraint to act as an OR within a field. But PickList is limited to lookup Id values, text attribute values, numeric attribute values and coupled attribute values. It works for me in some cases where I have lookup Id values, but not in other cases where the users want to search on multiple text values within a single field.

How to combine a content search with an attribute search with the API

Hi
I have been working with searches in Content Services using the API and I have successfully set up the search over the contents of a document and inside of the Category attributes of the document.
My problem comes when I try to combine this 2 kinds of search, that is when I want to find all the documents that cointain the text "test" and at the same time contain other text into their category attributes.
What I do is to build 2 SearchExpression's one for the content search and the other for the attributes search and then joining them in a third SearchExpression object using the FdkConstants.OPERATOR_AND. When I search using only the first or the second SearchExpression everything works fine. But when I do the search using the third SearchExpression an ORACLE.FDK.ParameterError:ORACLE.FDK.InvalidSearchExpression
exception id raised.
The code I'm using is like this:
private SearchExpression getMainSE(String contentQuery, CategoryInfo catInfo)
     SearchExpression contentSE = null;
     SearchExpression catSE = null;
     SearchExpression mainSE = null;
     if(contentQuery != null)
          contentSE = this.setupSE4Contents(contentQuery);
     if(catInfo != null)
          catSE = this.setupSE4Category(catInfo);
     if(contentSE != null && catSE != null)
          mainSE = new SearchExpression();
          mainSE.setLeftOperand(FdkConstants.OPERATOR_AND);
          mainSE.setLeftOperand(catSE);
          mainSE.setRightOperand(contentSE);
     else
          mainSE = contentSE != null ? contentSE : catSE;
     return mainSE;
CategoryInfo is one class made by my own that contains the categoryId of the document and a List of the attributes where I want to search. mainSE is the SearchExpression that is returned.The portion of code that appears to be having problems is this:
if(contentSE != null && catSE != null)
     mainSE = new SearchExpression();
     mainSE.setLeftOperand(FdkConstants.OPERATOR_AND);
     mainSE.setLeftOperand(catSE);
     mainSE.setRightOperand(contentSE);
And finally I only execute the search using the mainSE returned by the function:
// Define search options
NamedValue[] nv = WsUtility.newNamedValueArray(new Object[][] {
     { Options.FOLDER_RESTRICTION,
          folder != null ? new Long(folder.getId()) : null },
     { Options.SEARCH_VERSION_HISTORY, Boolean.TRUE } });
     SearchExpression mainSE = this.getMainSE(contentQuery, catInfo);
     try
          // Search documents
          NamedValue[] result = sem.search(mainSE, nv, null);
          // etc....
Is this the correct way to combine a content search with an attribute search???
I know that this is possible since I have seen that it can be done in the Collaboration Suite UI.
I hope yoy can help me...
Thanks in advance

Not sure if this is a typo (while pasting code on the forum) or is the cause of the problem you describe.
Shouldn't mainSE.setLeftOperand(FdkConstants.AND) be replaced by mainSE.setOperator(FdkConstants.AND) ?

Case-insensitive Search with Search Form

I am using a Search Form with a UIX Page. One of the issue that need to be resolved is to be able to do case-insensitive search for text information stored in some database columns. Please advise me how to implement case_insensitive search with JDeveloper's Search Form.

Hi Qian,
This article (below) by Steve Muench explains how you can customize Query by example behaviour of ADF BCs and if you really want, how to create your own ViewCriteriaAdapter (but you don't have to go quite that far - luckily :) ).
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2005/02/10.html#a492
Here is what I did. I implemented the following method in my base view object class (MyBaseViewObject). Note that this code is based on a piece of code that Steve posted on his blog (http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2003/07/11/implementingAViewCriteriaAdapterToCustomizeQueryByExampleFunctionality.html); originally an example about creating your own ViewCriteriaAdapter.
Since applyViewCriteria(oracle.jbo.ViewCriteria) is used by the query-by-example mechanism you're able to "intercept" the ViewCriteria on "it's way in". After that the standard ViewCriteria does it's job as ususal and generated the where clause when required.
public void applyViewCriteria(ViewCriteria vc)
     if( null == vc || vc.size() == 0 ) super.applyViewCriteria(vc);
     ViewCriteriaRow criteriaRow = (ViewCriteriaRow)vc.first();
     StructureDef def = criteriaRow.getStructureDef();
     AttributeDef[] attrs = def.getAttributeDefs();
     System.out.println(getClass().getName() + ": applyViewCriteria()");
     boolean bFirst = true;
     do{
       if(vc.hasNext() && !bFirst) criteriaRow = (ViewCriteriaRow)vc.next();
       criteriaRow.setUpperColumns(true);
       for (int j = 0, attrCt = attrs.length; j < attrCt; j++)
         String criteriaAttrVal = ((String)criteriaRow.getAttribute(j));
         if (criteriaAttrVal != null && !criteriaAttrVal.equals("") && !JboTypeMap.isNumericType(attrs[j].getSQLType()))
          criteriaRow.setAttribute(j,criteriaAttrVal.toUpperCase());
       bFirst=false;
     }while(vc.hasNext());
     super.applyViewCriteria(vc);
NOTE that doing this makes all your views case insensitive (to vc search) you may want to implement more functionality in your base view object to set whether a view is in case insensitive mode or not.
ALSO that flag will not be passivated (if I remember correctly - someone correct me if I'm wrong) so you'll have to add that flag to the passivated data.
Cheers!

How to search with regular expression

I make pdx files so that I can search text quickly. But Acrobat doesn't provide a way to search with regular expression. I'm wondering if there is a way that I don't know to search for regular expression in Acrobat Pro 9?

First, Acrobat must "mount" the PDX.
As "Find" does not use the cataloged index, use Shift+Ctrl+F to open the advanced search dialog.
It may be helpful to first enter Acrobat Preferences and for the Search category tick "Always use advanced search options".
Back to the Search dialog - use the drop down menu for "Look In" to pick "Select Index" then, if no PDXs show, click the Add button.
In the Open Index File dialog, browse to the location of the desired PDX and select it.
OK out and use "Return results containing" to pick a "Match ..." requirement or Boolean.
To become familiar with query syntax, for Acrobat, it is good to review Acrobat Help.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7 c4b.w.html

How to use ADF Query search with EJB 3.0

Hi,
In ADF guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/b31974/web_search_bc.htm#CIHIJABA
The steps to create query search with ADF Business Components says:
"+From the Data Controls panel, select the data collection and expand the Named Criteria node to display a list of named view criteria.+"
But with EJB, I'm not able to find Named Criteria node. Can we use ADF query search component with EJB? If yes, can you please show me some example, tutorial etc.?
Thanks
BJ

For EJBs you'll need to implement the query model on your own.
An example of how the model should look like is in the ADF Faces components demo.

Check box with Boolean data type is not behaving properly

Hi,
I create a sample application with one entity driven view object with two attributes. One is of String data type [Value will be Y/N] and another (transient) attribute with Boolean data type. I planned to bind this boolean data type attribute to UI. I overridded the view row impl class and included setting of boolean attribute inside the setter of String attribute. Also in the getter of boolean attribute, added code to check the string attribute and return true/false based on that. Everything is working fine in application module tester. But when i test the same in view controller project in a page, it is not working. Always Check box component is not checked eventhough when i explicitly check it.
[NOTE: I have given the control hint of Boolean attribute as check_box. Also i don't want selected/unselected entries in the page def file. That's why followed this approach]
Have i missed out anything? Why this behaviour.
Thanks in advance.
Raguraman

what is the value that is going in when u check it.. did u debug it.. is the viewRowimps setter and getter getting called.. and is it having the right value set and got.. and ur sure that ur using selectBooleanCheckBox..
ur binding the checkbox to the transient value right??

How to enhance the standard search with custom field?

Hi all,
I would like to know the general optimal procedure to enhance the standard searches like Opportunity search or Lead search.
I've gone through some of the threads here. Some suggest, to add the new field using AET and copy the IMPL class of the search and then code the custom logic. Some say, append the new field to the structure of the search object and then implement the BADI.
I'm actually a bit confused to understand the correct procedure.
Can someone please help me with a generic procedure to enhance the standard search with a custom field?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Maren,
Once I have got the same development. I have followed the below steps, please check with this. Let me know for further inputs.
Add new field using Append structure of type ‘XXX’ in search
Create BADI implementation for Enhancement spot ‘ES_CRM_RF_Q1O_SEARCH’ and include filter ‘BTQOPP’
Put your logic in BADI implementation – SEARCH method
Add it in WebUI configuration
Remove the operator if required

Searching with in a SharePoint 2013 Document Library

Hi,
i want to search document library by passing values from Search box to Search Results webpart. I m not able to search with in the document library although i have configured content source and result sources.
With Regards,
Jaskaran Singh

You can try using a web form html webpart in a web part page instead.
Use Designer to add additional search columns and you should be able to create something usable.

Personalized Simple Search with new messageLovInput - Search does not work

I have currently set an Message LOV Input into a Simple Search Panel for IcxPorRcvSrchPG.
I have got the LOV bringing back the correct values, but when I hit the GO button the Search does not work.
Can someome please help me on how I am able to get the search working in the Simple Search Panel.
Details of VO's are as follows:
xxReceiveItemsDueVO (extended from ReceiveItemsDueVO)
xxReceiveMyItemsVO (extended from ReceiveMyItemsVO )
xxReceivePurchaseItemsVO (extended from ReceivePurchaseItemsVO)
xxReceiveReqItemsVO (extended from ReceiveReqItemsVO)
Extended Attribute I am looking to search with is xxWono.
Current search items are working 100% with extended VO's, but when I try and search with new item, I am having no luck. The search is acting as though the new item has not even been created.
Additional Lov Details are as follows:
Level: Site
Item Style: Message Lov Input
ID: xxWONumSearch
Data Type: VARCHAR2
External LOV: /oracle/apps/icx/lov/webui/WorkOrderLovRN

Criteria Item: xxWONumSearch
LOV Region: WipEntityName
Programmatic Query: False
Required: False
Return Item: xxWONumSearch
Framework version: 11.5.10.6RUP
Is there a way of doing this through Personalization?
With the version of framework I am not able to add a simpleSearchMapping through Personalization.
Can someone please advise?
Thanks

IFS Searching with other Search Engines

Is it possible to set up iFS searching with or without interMedia) that would work with a search engine for static pages, like Infoseek?
From an "end-users" point of view, I would like to have them search for a document, some of which may be stored in the database, but others are html pages used for the site.

You would have to write a custom program which would submit searches to IFS and to your Infoseek search engine, and then combine the results for the end user.
Or you could use iFS and Intermedia to index the static HTML pages.

JSF, encoding, do not working search with non english words!

All my pages UTF-8, Database charset set UTF-8, My search with russian words does not working, How can I improve it?

Update: It seems to be related to the themeLinks in the JSP. I got it working for a second by adding in a missing themelinks link... but it's not working anymore. Huh.
Ideas?
