SP20 search results issues

Hi All,
We have EP 6.4 - recently we have upgraded from SP17 to SP20.
While a few bugs related to the search iview were fixed, i have seen some changes that i don't like too much, and i was wondering if those changes can be removed by configuration.
<b>Change number 1</b>
In SP17, the search results iview show exactly how many results were found, and enabled you to page between results pages. In SP20, it shows " 1-10 more", and once you click on the 'more', another results page links is shoing like this: "1-10 11-20 more" and so on. Can i configure the iview so it would show the results as before or do i have to write my own search component?
<b>Change number 2</b>
After upgradin to SP20, sometimes when i conduct a search, i get results but with the following message: "The original search has been extended due to the lack of initial results" and then it shows me results with words similar to the ones i searched for. For example, if i search for 'sales', i get results with the words 'safe', 'state' etc. This brings of course a lot of irrelevant results i want to diable this. Is this possible?
The search iview uses the default search component and search option sets.
I am not using custom components, and i rather not create ones if possible.
Since SAP no longer answers questions via OSS (only product errors) , i will be glad if SAP employees will respond to this post.
Thanks,
Moti.

Please ignore this post - the issues i described have nothing to do with SP20.
Simple configuration of the search option set solved it.

Search result issues

Hi, I have created a website www.anarchyarcadium.info and have submitted the page to various search engines. Yet when I search for my own website using google and other search engines it does not pop up, I did get one result on page seven. This was by using my own url in the search. Can anyone assist me in becoming more relevant to search engines. I have submitted and created a sitemap using webmaster tools on google adsense. I'm not sure what else short of hiring an seo company I can do to improve my relevance. I had a former site which had great conversion rates but the same tactics aren't producing this time around.

As far as I can see your site hardly contains information.
Plus a lot of annoying games playing altogether on one page.
Make you site more interesting.

Safari 6 "Images" search results don't show digital storage size info anymore - Fix?

I've now noticed, finally using Safari 6 more often now .... that when doing a google subject search (and selecting the "images" results versus the "search" results at the top header bar of Safari), that Safari 6 now only shows a huge listing the images themselves. If you slide your cursor over any of the images, a small black highlight bar appears under the image and shows its pixel dimensions (as in 000 x 000 pixel dimentional size), but Safari 6 shows no digital size info of the image in kb's (kilobites) or posibly MB's (megebites) .... like it used to in the past.
On previous Safari google "image" search results you saw the images, along with their pixel dimentional size (000 x 000) and their storage size ( 00kb / 00MB) listed in small text under the image.
Is there any way to set Safari to show not only the "images" dimensions (which it now does), but also to show the images over all storge size?
I know if you use the additional "search tools" selection text, that a sub set of selector menus appears, listing "any size", "any color", Any type" Any time" All results" .... but none of these will set "images" storage sizes (kb, MB, etc.). Even using a "larger size" only selection setting doesn't always guarantee that a larger size only seach results will be of larger pixel quality.
I often use Safari and google to find "comp" art images, etc. for rough art placement on projects, and it's now almost impossible to search through Safari's google "images" results without knowing what "quality size" the image can be found at.
Any thoughts on this fix?

Actually, as I forgot to mention .... is this above issue a Safari 6 or Google search result issue? I'm starting to think that it may be Google's "images" results that don't show the images storage size anymore, and possibly not Safari's problem.
Either way, is there any fix to this issue ... a plug-in, etc.?

Error when opening a pdf by clicking a search result. Link works fine when opened any other way. IE issue only.

The issue:
www.norwich.gov.uk
When you carry out a search for "co-operative bank" and click the first result (which is a pdf), Adobe Reader is launched and the user sees this error: "There was an error opening this document, The filename, directory name or volume label syntax
is incorrect"
However, if you do any of these...
right-click the link and choose to open it in a new tab
right-click the link, copy the shortcut, paste it into the address bar and hit go
open the file directly from the library
open the file by clicking on a hyperlink
... you are prompted to Open or Save the file. On choosing 'Open' the file is opened in the browser window with no problems. It is only when clicking on the link in the search results that the issue arises. The issue only occurs with IE.
Current settings:
Client integration is disabled
Browser file handling is set to permissive
Default open behaviour for browser-enabled documents is set to open in the browser
DOCICON.xml is configured to show <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" EditText="Adobe Acrobat" OpenControl=""/>
Disabling the Adobe Acrobat SharePoint Opendocuments add-on 'fixes' the issue, in that the user no longer sees the error, but instead sees the prompt. However, this doesn't help us as the site is public facing asn we cant control user's add-ons.
Hope someone can help.

I tried this from my laptop with IE8 and it worked fine.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Using "Restrict by app" in change query causes issues with Search Results

Hello!
I am hoping some experienced SP admin can help me out. I am having issues with the relevance ranking for my search results web part.
I created a Wiki (OOTB) within a site collection and on the home page of the Wiki I was looking to apply a Search Box and Search Results web part for easy searching. I wanted to ensure the search results were restricted to the scope of the pages within the
wiki. I did the following after adding the 2 web parts:
Entered edit mode for the page
Started to edit the Search Results web part
Under Properties for Search Results clicked on "Change Query"
Navigated to BASICS and clicked "Switch to Quick Mode"
For Select Query, picked "Wiki (System)" option
For Restrict by app, picked "Specify a URL" and input the wiki URL "http://webapp.com/sites/sitecollection/wiki"
Click OK
The web part has 6 automatic results when I hit the page. These are the only 6 pages in my wiki. When I search a word or title of a page, they are not ranked in order or relevance. The ordering is static to what was being shown before the search, but the
keywords I'm searching are bold. With out the taking the steps above, I can easily search these pages and have them ranked appropriately so I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong.
Other Details
The pages have been crawled and can be searched from anywhere else in SP.
I am only a site collection admin for this specific site collection.
I other than the steps above, I have not made any changes or customization to the search web parts; they are both out of the box SP.
The SP Farm admin we unable to pin point what the root cause is either.

Hi Mikael,
Sorry for the wait, I was unable to post pictures, which i felt would better describe my issue.
Could you output the query template you are ending up with?
If you can tell me how to accomplish this, then I can provide it. Please keep in mind that I am only a site collection admin.
Also, is the ranking/sorting for your webpart set to ranking?
When looking at the web part settings, I didn't see an option to modify the ranking. Unfortunately, some sites in my intranet are down now so I can't even double check. Once it's back up, I will verify this as well.
And how do you know they are ranked incorrectly?
I wanted to display an image showing what I meant by this. As the wiki is down, I'll do my best with words. When I visit the wiki home page, I already have the search and search results web parts there. Without searching anything, the search results
web part displays 6 pages that are available in the wiki. When I search, I expect to see the most relevant result at the top. similar to the following:
*Search result from another section of the intranet site.*
What I receive instead is the same list of wiki pages, in the same order. The most relevant result
is not moved to the top like in the image above, but I can see that the word "rush" is highlighted in bold. I hope this helps.
If you need more of a description, please let me know.
Thank you

Issue in disabling button and retaining search results of query bean

Hi,
I need help in 2 issues
1) I have a query bean and an advanced table attached to it. I have enabled table actions and put a button inside that. The requirement is the button should be enabled only if a record is present in the advanced table. If for a search parameter, no results are displayed in the advanced table, the button should remain disabled. The moment the results are populated in advanced table the button should be enabled. Please let me know how this can be achieved.
2) In the advanced table there is a column of type Link. On clicking this link i am forwarding the control to some other OAF page AA. I am retaining AM here. From this new OAF page AA user can move to some other OAF pages B or C. All these pages have different AM. There is a link called return to original page on page AA which takes user back to the search screen. When user goes to page AA and comes back to search screen without going to page B or C the search results are displayed on the page, but when user goes from page AA to page B or C and finally returns to the search screen, the data in search results along with search criteria are lost. The search screen is completely blank.
I need to display the search results/search criteria no matter what navigation user is doing. Is there a way i can save the search query that got executed on the click of search button. I can re-execute the query when user comes back on search screen.
Please let me know how to achieve these 2 functionalities.
Thanks,
VG

For (1)
I guess you want to select single/multiple rows after the table is populated in table and perform an action using button.
If that is the case then do not put button under table actions. Instead put it under multiselection region. Then button only gets displayed when rows are populated.
If that is not the case then get a handle to button (use findChildRecursive, findIndexedChildRecursive may not work) and disable/enable it.
For (2).. If you are on r12 below can be useful :- (taken from 12.1 framework guide)
Using Search Persistence
In the past, if a user performed a search and then drilled down to a details page, search criteria was lost when
the user navigated back to the Search page, unless the developer retained the AM or created a custom
implementation to persist the search criteria. As of Release 12, developers no longer need a custom
implementation to persist search criteria, as the query region now has an automatic search persistence
mechanism in place.
Generally speaking, you should still retain the AM in favor of using the automatic search persistence
mechanism for performance optimization reasons. However, if retaining the AM presents a scalability issue
because the underlying view object (VO) had hundreds of attributes, then you should you turn off retainAM and
allow the query region to automatically handle all the search criteria binding and use the automatic search
persistence mechanism.
Note: If you retain the AM state, the automatic search persistence mechanism will not be active. The search
persistence mechanism is automatic only if the AM state is not retained.
When a user selects the Go button to initiate a search on the query region, the OAQueryBean automatically
caches the search criteria on the user session. After the user drills down to the detail page of the Search
results and then returns to the Search page, the OAQueryBean restores the search criteria from the cache and
re-executes the query using that saved critieria.
Note: Since the query is re-executed, any sort, navigation or transient UI state of the results table will not be
preserved. Saving the entire table state presents high overhead which is what this particular feature is trying to
avoid.

I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, when I visit some website and I return to my search results I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE).

Question
I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, I visited some website and then I want to return to my search results and pick another search result. And there is a problem: I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE) that would help me to distinguish visited and not visited sites.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Issue while navigating through a search result link

Hello Experts,
We are facing a strange issue in our IC Web Client UI.
After an account is confirmed, and a wild card search is done on the Product Search work centre, a number of results are displayed in the list view below ( which extend to more than one page). The search result has a particular field 'Generic ID' which is a navigational link, and further filters the search results when clicked on it.
The issue is, if the Generic ID is clicked from one of the serach result in page 1 or 2, it takes the control to the next stage filtered search result page 1. But if the Generic ID is clicked from any other page other than the first two, it takes the control to the next stage filtered search results page 2.
I have debugged both the scenarios but there's no difference in the behavior of both.
Any pointers to why this is happening or how it can be solved will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richa

Hi Prasenjit,
Thanks for your inputs.
I've debugged the scenarios, but I've been unable to locate any pointers to the current page, or the one being navigated to.
An OSS in this case can't be raised as the link which is being clicked is a customization. Hence, anything after that would probably be because of the customizations made.
Any pointers to where should I concentrate while debugging to find the current page number?
Rgds,
Richa

Advanced Search: Viewing Results Issue

This problem seems to only be on my Microsoft Surface Pro tablets with windows 8.1.
When doing an advanced search within a document the results box is usually very large and you can see all the hits that came back. However, on my Surface when doing a search the results box is so small that you can't even see what's showing up.
I've tried to enlarge the search box which slightly helps but still can only see one or two results at a time and must continue to use the scroll bar to get through them.
I was curious if there was any options within Adobe that could be changed in order to get this view changed so its more user friendly and easier to work with?
I've been through many of the options myself but was unable to find anything that worked.
Thanks for the help.

As per my understanding you can crawl DL columns
Can you get that document in search results page? Please check to see if the site which contains the library is included in content source.
Could you please check site settings->Site Administration->Searchable columns, maybe the column is excluded?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/b97a43b1-c727-4daa-a0d9-a18e53e09dd9/list-and-document-library-title-column-crawled-properties?forum=sharepointadminprevious
Go to your Search Service Application in Central Administration.
Click on Metadata Properties in the left navigation.
Click on the Crawled Properties link.
Click on the Categories link then select the SharePoint category
Navigate the pages (next page arrow link) until you see ows_Title. Click on ows_Title.
In the "Mappings to Metadata Properties" area of this page, ensure that the "Include values for this property in the search index" checkbox is checked, then Click OK. This checkbox is not checked by default.
Repeat the same procedure above for your ows_Description crawled property to confirm that it is included in the index - which it should be by default.
Start a Full Crawl
This will now include these crawled properties in the index and should now be available in the Managed Property which exposes them for Search.

I have not been able to select on any search results in iTunes. I uninstalled a browser extension program (Spigot) and I was able to resolve the issue.

I was having an issue with selecting any of the Search Results when I perform a search in the iTunes Store on my Windows 7 professional computer. I went through my installed programs and looked for any programs that were installed around the time I started having the issue. I removed 2 of the programs, one was a Browser Search Extension and the other was Spigot another browser extension. After removing these programs the issue was resolved! I hope this helps others that may have this issue.

Try this:
Change the Apple TV resolution:
Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.

Trex Issue - Search Results Mysteriously Disappearing

Hello All-
I have a strange issue with my TREX searching. Here's what is happening - I run a search, the results come back saying there are x hits. If I start paging through the results, I get about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way when suddenly the hits drops to some number less that x hits. Where have the remainder of my hits gone? I've checked out SAPNotes and SDN but haven't had any luck. Has anyone seen this behavior before? My guesses are that it is either hiding duplicates (and I'm missing some sort of switch) or some of the results are bogus (for instance, I have some documents that won't preprocess and perhaps these are coming up as bogus hits).
I'm on EP6 SP 14/KM SP 14/TRex 14....
Thanks and points given for any help what so ever in sorting this out!
Jim

Hi Jim,
the number of search results is the total number that fits to your search term without any respect to the permissions.
But the search results that are displayed on the result page are only those that you are allowed to see. As a consequence, you can only see new pages with search results as long as there are additional search results that you are allowed to see
Kind regards
Karin

Search results "next n" issue

I have a basic search results screen. I contains a few parameters and a search button. When I click the search button the results come back 25 at a time. The "Next N" group toggling is giving me some problems. When I do my initial query the first 25 records are returned. Then I click the "Next 25" link and it sends me to the last group of records. For my case I have a total of 201 records returned so it goes to the 201 record. After that, I click on the Next and Previous links to toggle through the data and they work just fine. For whatever reason it only gives me problem the first time I click the Next 25. Is this a known bug or is there a setting that I have failed to set? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

I am new to OA Framework so I was suprised to even see it after I created the region with the region style of table. I did not make any changes to the code. Whatever was created by Jdev is what is there. I am assuming this is not a known bug then.

IOS 7.1 - Safari issues with Google search results

Since the latest upgrade to iOS on my iPhone 4, I'm have a problem with Safari. When I do a search on Google, the results webpage will not display the forward/back buttons with the change windows button. I have to close Safari, restart and then quickly hit the select window button before the search results display again. All other websites seem to be working fine. Anyone else experience this?

Negative. Try tapping toward the bottom of the screen and the navigation bar will show. You don't have to scroll to make that happen.

Hi steve,
Still my issue was not resolved, could you help me to find the exact error.I have enhanced the component, view and context node, still i couldn't able to add attributes to the context node BTQRACT.I tried to add several fields, but it is giving the same error 'METHOD CL_BT126S_A_APPTSR_CTXT' CREATE_BTQRACT DOES NOT EXIST'. I have checked the OSS messages and found 2 relavant to this component. I have implemented both the Sap Notes 1363752, 1226612. Still after implementing the OSS note, i am getting the same error.My guess is one of the method is missing. Please help me out?

Podcast No Longer Showing Up on iTunes Search Results

We submitted our podcast months ago and it showed up on the iTunes store just fine. Somewhere along the way, someone on our end introduced a code error in the .xml file that broke the links to the audio files. We didn't find this issue out for quite a while, and in that time, it appears that iTunes flagged and took down our podcast feed from the store (I'm assuming because of this code error).
I have since remedied the code issues and I can subscribe directly to the feed now, so it is working fine. But I cannot get the store to show the podcast in any search results. When I try to resubmit the feed the store says it is already submitted - even if I change the url and the .xml file name, so it is clearly smarter than I am, haha.
Any tips on how to get out of this problem? It has been several weeks and the podcast still does not show up on the store.
Thanks,
Bill

Roger,
Thanks for the reply - in the time it took me to hit submit and tab back to my .xml file I saw that I'd missed changing the link/title. Thank you for confirming that this will do it - it let me resubmit. Take care!
Bill
