[solved] Search down or very small result set?

The forum search is turning up almost nothing for me. For example, searching for "pacman" on all boards yields 7 results, "kernel" gets 9, "PKGBUILD" gets 5. There's nothing older than 9 Dec 2011.
Am I missing something or did the search index get wiped out?
EDIT: Thanks, whoever fixed it.

It's 30 seconds for me as well. I believe it is 60 seconds if you're not logged in.
If you wanted to get fancy it could reduce with post count, eg. 60 seconds / post count.
However, just having sane rate-limiting would be better, eg. limit to 20 searches in 5 minutes (15s per post at maximum capacity). If the user doesn't find something worth stopping for after that many searches, it's probably not legitimate traffic, while the user who needs to try a few variants before finding useful results is unimpeded.

No. It's right there in plain English, and that behavior introduces a Javascript dependency to uncheck all the others after the first click: Anybody using it is far more likely to want to filter to just a few boards than to show everything except a few boards. Without unchecking them all via Javascript, the user has to do it manually.
For example,
How often do you say: Show me only "Kernel & Hardware" and "Laptop Issues"?
How often do you say: Show me everything except "[testing] Repo Forum" and "Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues"?
And compare how much work it takes to perform those actions when everything is checked initially.

  • Should ROWNUM return what you'd naturally expect when used with an ORDER BY on a very large result set?

    For security reasons, I have removed some of the column names and the table name from this query, but there was no WHERE clause, and this includes the complete ORDER BY clause.
    select p.cc,
        p.yy,
        p.mm,
        p.dd,
        p.ref_no,
        p.seconds,
        p.deci_mal,
        cast(rownum as number(14)) as arpds_id
      from p
      order by p.cc,
        p.yy,
        p.mm,
        p.dd,
        p.ref_no,
        p.seconds,
        p.deci_mal
    We were adding a Primary Key (ARPDS_ID) to the table containing legacy payments, which had thousands of rows where every single column was identical, and had over 15 million rows total.
    I expected the ROWNUM to represent the row number *after* the rows were sorted by the ORDER BY clause.  However, we identified at least one account where this was not the case.
    Here are the relevant fields for that account, sorted by my ARPDS_ID.  As you can see, the second row clearly has a higher REF_NO, but a lower ARPDS_ID than the third row.
    CC YY MM DD REF_NO SECONDS DECI_MAL        ARPDS_ID
    20 13 05 25 1258   57      00              15584205
    20 13 06 04 1718   56      00              15669414
    20 13 06 04 1711   48      00              15682078
    Can anyone help me understand why this happened?  I didn't believe it when it was first brought to my attention, and had the database restored that contained the actual tmp (not global temporary) table we created with the query above so I could prove to myself that the query above *actually* created these results.  It was not until I saw that with my own eyes that I believed that this happened.
    Thanks

    PS - What happened to the Preview Post functionality?  Am I just not seeing it?

    Hi,
    Whatever you'd naturally expect, ROWNUM probably doesn't do it.
    ROWNUM is assigned as rows are fetched from the table (or subquery), before the ORDER BY clause.
    If you want ROWNUM to reflect any particular order, then do an ORDER BY in a sub-query, and use ROWNUM in the super-query,
    WITH  ordered_data  AS
        SELECT    cc, yy, mm, dd, ref_no, seconds, deci_mal
        FROM      p
        ORDER BY  cc, yy, mm, dd, ref_no, seconds, deci_mal
    SELECT  o.*
    ,       CAST (ROWNUM AS NUMBER (14))   AS arpds_id
    FROM    ordered_data  o
    If the problem is more complicated than what you posted, you may want to use the analytic ROW_NUMBER function instead of ROWNUM.

  • Caching Result Set ?

    folks
    I have a search page which returns a result set and the results are put in the session to be able to access when user clicks on the page numbers(pagination) in the results pane.
    Is there any way we can store or cache this and access instead of fetching it off the session.

    You can store the data as a multi dimensional array in javascript on the rendered jsp page as a javascript function. It exists on the client side (browser) and you can use an onClick event on the page's button to call up various parts of the array and display it to the user. That way, your user doesnt have to submit the page back to the servlet to pagenate to the next page. The data shows up immidiately instead. You'll have to read up on javascript to learn how to do this. (Also I assume you are storing the resultant data in some type of array and not the raw resultSet).
    However, if so much data is returned to the user he needs pagenation, I suggest you add filter textfields to allow him to limit what data is returned so pagenation is not needed. Pagenation implies there is too much data for the user to effectively use at once (no one likes scrolling down a list of 200 items). For instance, instead of displaying all names in a list, add a filter so the user can search for all last names that begain with an A, or B, etc through Z. Then, when displayed to the user, show the list sorted by your filter criteria (lastName). If there is still too much data in the list, I suggest putting up a vertical scrollbar rather than pagenation.

  • When I am on Firefox, my Netzero email page suddenly dropped to very small print. AOL OK. How do I increase size of the print so I can read the email?

    I was using Firefox to read my Netzero email. The print suddenly dropped down to very small and I have difficulty reading the email. Netzero said to oper Mozilla Firefox, click "tools", click "options", and click "content" to change the font to a bigger size. But when I clicked the brown "Firefox" button on the Firefox page, I do not see the buttons Netzero told me to click. Can you tell me what they are referring to or just tell me how to increase the size of the font when I am reading email on Netzero. AOL email font size was not affected when I clicked AOL to read the email there.

  • BEx Broadcaster configuration - maximum number of cells in result set

    Hi all,
    I've got an error message when runnig a BEx Broadcaster setting to send query output as xls file.
    Query was running, but empty xls sheet was sent.
    Message was: result set to large (1.5 Mio cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum 1 Mio cells).
    How can this configuration be changed to enable 1.5 Mio cells ?
    Many thanks
    Andreas

    This is excel restriction for maximum of 1million cells. If you split the query with smaller results set lesser than 1 million cells, this error will not come.

  • Custom Metadata is not in Search Result result set

    Hello. I have created a custom metadata xDAMAuthor. I have used it in a rule for check-in profile. Also have check-in a content by filling this field. Now the search form has this metadata as one of its field and I can search by using this field, also the search result returns the aforesaid content which I have checked-in. When I am looking into the SOAP format of the GET_SEARCH_RESULTS then that metadata is not there in the row of the SearchResults resultset. But if I see the SOAP format of the DOC_INFO of that content the DOC_INFO resultset contains that metadata. How can I solve the problem?
    Note: In the Admin Applet->Configuration Manager->Information Fields, Enable for Search Index is checked for this metadata.
    Thanks.

    the search result returns the aforesaid content which I have checked-in
    And do you see you metadata in the results? I guess you don't. Unless you followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10797/c03_finding_files.htm#CIHEFHAI and created a custom search result template.
    I am sure that GET_SEARCH_RESULTS have all the metadata from returned items somewhere (probably in a result set), but I'm not sure what's returned - it could be very well the row as you see in the browser. Therefore, you might tried to use your custom search result template in your call (in fact, I think for a user always the default one is used).
    Should be easy to give it a try.

  • The display of web sites in response to a search is showing up very small on my screen. How do I get it back to regular size?

    I may have unknowingly punch a combination of keys or something on the menu. But the result is that when I do a search, the resulting list of web sites shows up very small in the upper left hand corner of my screen. How do I get the display to default back to regular size? Now the default is tiny type that I can't even read. Thanks.

  • CS6 Warp Stabilizer giving me a very small window results

    I am beginning to use Warp Stabilizer in CS6 Prem Pro.  Just trying to use it on a short 4 minute clip.
    I have read the posts of people that have had issues with it running.  Mine analyzes fine and completes.  However, my result is a very, very small window of video.  I am using the default settings which allows up to 150% scaling so not sure why the result is so small.
    It almost looks cropped or if it reset the aspect ratio?
    FWIW , I think it looks like it "worked", appears smoother. But hard to tell with the narrow viewing window.
    Any assistance appreciated.
    BJBBJB1

    Thanks to all for your insightful comments!!  I will definitely try to cut down the length and omit an pans which may be confusing the stabilizer.
    I was hoping it would be able to avoid instances of things like that but I I guess that is what causing the results I am seeing. Because I don't think the shaking is so bad you would need half the frame to fix it!
    It is just a clip of HDV outdoors, handheld, with some panning, etc.  shot with an HV20.  Sequence settings match the HDV resolution.  I'll cut the panning out and try again.
    Good to see other are seeing those results and were able to improve by playing with the parameters.
    Thanks again,

  • How can I use ONE Text search iView to event/affect mutliple Result Sets?

    hello everyone,
    i have a special situation in which i have 6 flat tables in my repository which all have a common field called Location ID (which is a lookup flat to the Locations table).
    i am trying to build a page with a free-form text search iView on Table #1 (search field = Location ID).  when I execute the search, the result set for Table #1 is properly updated, but how do I also get Result Set iViews for Tables #2-6 to also react to the event from Text Search for Table #1 so that they are updated?
    i don't want to have to build 6 different text search iViews (one for each table).  i just want to use ONE text search iView for all the different result set tables.  but, in the documentation and iView properties, the text search iView doesn't have any eventing.
    if you have any suggestions, please help.
    many thanks in advance,
    mm

    hello Donna,
    that should not be a problem, since you are detailw with result sets and detail iviews because custom eventing can be defined for those iviews.
    Yes, it says "no records" found because an active search and record selection havent' been performed for it (only your main table does).
    So, yes, define a custom event, and pass the appropriate parameters and you should be fine.
    Creating a custom event between a Result Set iView and an Item Details iView is easy and works. I have done it.
    See page 35 of the Portal Content Development Guide for a step-by-step example, which is what I used.
    For my particular situation, the problem I'm having is that I want the Search Text iView's event (i.e., when the Submit button is pressed) to be published to multiple iViews, all with different tables.  Those tables all share some common fields, which is what the Search iView has, so I'd like to pass the search critera to all of the iViews.

  • How do I enlarge the font in messages received and sent?  I have it set at "13", but it is very, very small on my screen.  I can't seem to change the appearance of the tool bar even when I try to "customize".

    How do I enlarge the font in messages received and sent?  I have the font set at "13", but the appearance on my screen is very, very small.  When I try to "customize the toolbar" to look like the tool bar above this message, I am unable to do so.  Please advise.  Thank you.

    Thanks MartinR, yes the Toggle bars can be adjusted so that I can see all the tracks - just in the smallest setting - however this also creates a huge area of grey which serves no other purpose than to "use up screen space". If this is deliberate then there is nothing one can do - since presumably the additional profit made on screen sales is more important to Apple, than the combined annoyance to those working on a 13" laptop. Of course a 15" screen or even 17" screen may make this wastage less obvious. Please indicate that this is all incorrect and explain why it is important to have space waiting "for additional tracks", even if I have no intention of making additional tracks. If that is the answer then perhaps additional space to the left and right of the timeline would be useful in case I wish to make a 30 minute film, so that it could be placed there without having to drag anything. It may be that I am expecting software than can be tailor adjusted, each parameter to the desired level as in professional items and since this is a cheap consumer program it is not possible.
    I bought Final Cut Pro for a lot of money (when it first appeared it was thousands and not just hundreds) but never used it since it was too complicated and tedious, but maybe there, this problem of screen wastage does not occurr, perhaps someone can advise! I could go back and reinstall it, but it was made for 10.2.8 and not 10.6.8 so it would not run on this macbook. I recently bought an old 15" TitaniumPowerbook (from 2005) and despite running at 1MHz the response time on it is "instantaneous" - amazing to not have the almost half second delay on many commands - graphics appear nearly immediately (just 5 milliseconds delay) and this makes working so much more enjoyable, not having the (350ms) stutter of 10.6.8 which we all get used to after our initial disappointment.
    Thanks for your help!

  • When using firefox to search and then print, the printing is very small. This doesn't happen when using another browzer? Can I fix?

    When visiting different web sites (fidelity, sutter health , etc) from the Firefox browzer and I try and print, the printing always comes out very small like maybe a size 4 or 6. When I use another browzer it comes out normal size. Is there a way I can correct this? Also you should know I'm not real computer smart.
    Thanks for any help you can provide

    Once you set that preference it should hold that setting. You could try 125% but it might clip the right-side of the page.

  • HT3226 My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one

    My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one.. ???

    I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
    Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

  • Saving the result set in a Search page

    Hi ,
    We have a manual search page where the results are displayed in the form of 10 columns. The first 5 are read only fields whereas rest 5 are editable checkboxes.
    There is no Query region created in our page.
    Suppose, fields a, b, c are search parameters and the results are as :
    | A | B | C| D |E | F | G | H | I | J |
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    7 records are retrieved. Columns A to E are read only text fields whereas columns F to J are check boxes. The user can update the checkboxes.  We have a Save button below the result set region. This button on being pressed invokes a stored PL/SQL Procedure which does some validations on the result set so obtained.
    Our requirement is to dump all the 7 records (after the modifications are made to any number of result records) into a temporary table . The procedure will then pick the records from this temporary table and do the required validations.
    Question is :
    1. How to store the result set so obtained into a table after some (or all) records are modified once Save is pressed ?
    We do not have any EO created in our page. The VO for obtaining the Result set is a combination of many tables.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Neha

    Hi Sanchit,
    In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), it has two different rules in pagination: Physical pagination, Logical pagination.
    Physical pagination is used to the print control and the TIFF and PDF rendering extensions. It is controlled by the PageSize properties.
    Logical pagination is used to the HTML and GDI rendering extensions. It is controlled by the InteractiveSize properties.
