Spotlight only displays PDFs - how to see all search types?

Problem: When I enter search criteria into spotlight, the results only show one type of search.  For example, if PDFs are included in the preferences, I only see PDFs, not Documents and PDFs.  Turning off PDF in the spotlight preferences, results in searches that only find documents.
I used to get a selection of PDFs, Documents etc. but now its just one or the other. 
Sample of problem.  Note when PDFs are turned on  in the preferences, and a search for "assess image" is entered, I only get PDFs.   The same search when PDFs are turned off results in the documents being found.  The problem may be related to Lion when I did the upgrade in Oct 2011.  
I have aready tried to delete and have spotlight rebuild the preferences file in ~/Library ... to no avail.

I found a similar post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3296309 that indicates this problem does not occur on an admin account, so I changed my account to admin and it did not help.  However if I logon to a seperate account, spotlight works correctly on that account. I therefore suspect some type of corruption to the spotlight settings on my primary account which has the problem.

  • How to see all billing types in use at present ?

    Gurus,
    My comp is moving for an upgrade. How can I see the list of all billing types that are being used by the company ?
    The navigation "IMG>sales and distribution>billing>billing documents>define billing types>define billing types"  shows me all the regular billing types what SAP got. How can I know as to what only are in practice ?
    I am sorry if this question sounds silly or weird.... am kind of new
    Please help. Thanks

    Getting a list of billing types is a small step in understanding what is 'in the system' in preparing for an upgrade. It's more important to understand the chain of documents - potentially starting from inquiry, all the way through the accounting document for a debit/credit note.
    It's the chains that are important for the upgrade - this is for two reasons.
    1. You don't test a billing document on its own.
    2. Upgrade issues (95% of the time) are due to custom code - and the copy routines are often custom
    What I have done in the past is start with the initial documents in the chains - and work through the chains forward to build up the scenarios, You can map these out in a flowchart - of just use Excel.
    For example e.g
    Sales Order ==> Delivery type ==> Billing doc==> FI Doc
    ZOR                        LF                        F2                  RV
    This doesn't take that long - and gives a very good idea of what the real scenarios are. You will generally not get a complete answer from any use - or from the pre-existing documentation.
    Depending on you controlling modules, you can also add the different accounting doc (CO, COPA, PCA, Special Ledger)
    You can use SE16 as other replies have mentioned. Use VBAK (sales docs) , VBFA (docunent flow), VBRK (billing docs)

  • How to see all image types when saving an image without selecting "all files"every time

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/951766]]</blockquote>
    Hallo, and thank you for reading this.
    I am a person who saves a lot of images online and renames them in different folders in different names like B - 34 or G - 56. I have been working with firefox 10 for quite some time and it had a pretty handy bug (I guess) where I could save an image and firefox would just save the image in it's original type (JPEG,PNG etc) while "save as type" was empty.
    It also always has shown all the image types in the folder where I save the images (except for GIF) and that helpes me quite a lot by saving me the trouble of selecting "all files" every time I save or going to the folder to rename every image.
    Now this seems to be lacking in the newest firefox versions and my question is if I can set firefox to always show me all the image file types when saving an image, instead of only showing JPEG's when I try to save a JPEG.
    Thank you for your time.

    I suspect this is a Windows problem. I am surmising the FilePicker uses the Operating System or Desktop facilities. Does Windows 7 offer any other file categories like ''images'' ?
    I do not normally use Windows 7, but may the option depend upon the directory being an indexed one, I ask after finding this thread ''Bring File types tab back'' [http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/819]
    This question is a duplicate of [/questions/951764]
    Normally I would lock the duplicate question, but in this instance I will leave it open as it is unanswered and someone may give a better reply.

  • How to see all connected SSH users?

    For lack of a better place, I'm putting this in the "installation" section...
    I would like to know how to see all SSH connections. I thought I could use the command "who", but that only shows me as connected (when I know there are definitely others connected.
    Does anyone know the command I can use to check?
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure why 'who' isn't showing other ssh users (it seems to work fine for me) but I thought I'd also mention that OS X also ships with lsof, so you could also find all processes and users using the ssh port with:
    lsof -i :ssh
    Check the lsof man page for more information. It's a pretty handy command, although there are a lot of options to figure out...

    Are you using a software to see all devices that are supposed to be connected to your router? You can reset and start over with your router.  Make sure you have a security enabled on it like WPA Personal.

    Hi,
    In BI 7.0 you wont find PSA tab in RSA1 (data warehousing workbench), for that you need to use RSA1OLD tcode.
    Other way is to go to the datasource and then right click->manage there you can find option to check all PSA requests which were staged from that datasource.
    Hope it helps....

    Hello all,
    I can't figurate how to list all the root directories
    (C:/> , D:/>, E:/> etc.) in a system.
    I know how to recursively check the content of a
    directory and all its subdirectories when a
    predefined path is defined. However what I' d like to
    do is actually give the option to pick one of the
    root directories to start the iteration. I have been
    looking around but I can' really find anything
    helpful.
    If any of you has any idea on how to achieve the
    above objective some clarification would be really
    appreciated.
