Spotlight Refresh Time?

Is there a function in spotlight that causes it to repeat the search after a given period of time and if so is it controllable?
I find that after a search is complete and the search window stabilizes it waits for some period of time and then repeats the search. In doing this, it clears the search window and starts filling it with the same data it had earlier.
This becomes frustrating when the wait time is so short that I don't have time review the list of items - this happens frequently.
Any suggestions on how to get a stable search window?

Think a step machine; you have an on/off button, a
button for training time setup, an emergency stop and
a starting button.
First of all you open the machine, then you set a
training time and then you start your training.
During your training you can see a time (for this
reason I need a refresh every second).
In the meantime you can pause your trainig, or
stopping it, so I need (while displaying a count down
time) to catch a stop / pause button.This sounds great for a GUI, but pretty bad for a console app.
think of a console. You have one cursor. You're about to type what you want, when suddenly the timer refreshes and your cursor goes elsewhere. You can be sure that your input ends up all over the screen, in single chars. Which will happen often, as you update every second.
And, as I already mentioned: you cannot "update" the console (short of of writing a backspace character and re-writing the last output). It's like trying to update what you wrote down with a ballpoint.

  • How to change Refresh Time in  a Discoverer Portlet?

    Hi,
    I have added a discoverer portlet to my main portal page. The minimum refresh time for the discoverer page i could set is 1 hour. Is there any way i could change it to 1 min as this is getting real time data in the database which i would like to display immediately.
    Any help/suggestion is most welcome. Thanks in advance.

  • Disabling spotlight for Time Capsule

    Hi,
    I need to disable (please do not ask the reason, I just need) indexing for backups on the Time Capsule. I know that the help on Spotlight says Time Machine needs spotlight bla bla... and, it can't disable indexing for this. I just don't beleive it, because when I disable spotlight for good with the following command:
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    time machine continues to function just fine. Everything seems perfect as far as the time machine is concerned. However, other apps (like Mail) which relies on spotlight for searching forced me to reenable the spotlight (with the following command) with tears in my eyes:
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    So, please help me to find a workaround for disabling spotlight/indexing just for time machine.
    By the way I tried the following methods without any success, so do not bother to recommend them:
    1) Including TM volume and/or Backup directory in the TM volume to the privacy list of Spotlight
    2) sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/VolumeName and sudo mdutil -E /VolumeName
    3) Erased .Spotlight-V100
    4) touch .metadata_never_index in the root and/ot Backup directory of time machine volume
    5) creating a dummy file named  .Spotlight-V100
    [rebooted in all instances...]
    PLEASE HELP

    So, you've read through the FAQs and couldn't find a solution, eh? Sorry, but I don't use TM nor do I muck with CLI commands that I don't fully comprehend. You'll have to wait for someone more knowledgeable to pop in.

    The questions I have are:
    1. How can I reduce the refresh time? Is it because of the indexes? Should i make any change to the create snapshot script?
    2. The create snaphot query works fine without the rownum < 500000 statement in oracle 9i but in oracle 8i it gives
    CSBAN10V user not found in UCDWP001 error. It works OK with the rownum < 5000000 statement. Why is that so?
    thanks
    prash

    You are specifying that the refresh must be COMPLETE, so Oracle has to transfer all 5,000,000 rows over the wire from the remote database every time. If you specified that the refresh could be FAST, and created a materialized view log on the remote table, Oracle would be able to transfer only the changed rows each time you refreshed.

  • Changing default refresh time for the UWL.

    Hello,
    I am trying to change the Default refresh time for the UWL(workflow inbox) for all the users before they personalize or save the refresh time, Would changing the refresh time in the .xml file work or is there any other way to do it? Thanks,
    Aniketh R.

    We have had all sorts of issues with this as well. I have been unable to find a solution that works as of yet. From my own debugging it seems as if RP is trying to parse the pasted text as logo's, fields etc.... I am looking at potentially using a script w/ set interval to "clean" the clipboard data but this isn't a perfect solution for numerous reasons.
    What is happening to your letters when the users paste? Our letters actually become unusable after a plugin save. So I am actually very interested in the answer to this question!

  • Spotlight and Time Capsule

    Does spotlight work on Time capsule? If it does, can I turn it off so it doesn't index TC?

    When you use Time Machine spotlight within Time Machine searches the Time Capsule Disk.
    Not sure if you could turn it off, without turning off spotlight on your Mac as well. I was able to add my Time Capsule folder to my Spotlight Privacy list, but I didn't want to do this. System Prefs Spotlight privacy list does allow you to select the folder on TC where backups are stored.

  • Input Form/Reports Refresh time

    Hi all,
    We have input form/reports which takes about 45 seconds to refresh which is ok for the first time but the frustration from the user community is that every subsequent refresh also takes 45 seconds for even a small change. Is that possible to reduce time on the subsequent refresh time?
    Please share.
    Thanks,
    D

    Hi Devang,
    Refresh means that all data on the form have to be read from database. You can play with user settings: Refresh only Expanded and Inserted Members; Refresh only Data on "Save & Refresh Data", but not sure it will help.
    In general, the initial refresh for 45 seconds is a bit long. Do you have not default measures and dimension member formulas in the report?

  • Device Default Refresh Time

    I was wondering what the default refresh time is for ZCM 11.2.4 MU 1?
    Is there a recommended time that we should be setting this too?
    Currently we are set at 2 hours, for a partial refresh, and 12 hours for a full refresh.
    Has anyone seen/recommend that those settings should/could be adjusted to allow for faster refreshes?
    Thanks,
    -DS

    That will "Slow Down" the refresh rate, but may speed logon times.
    Unchecked, means it would check immediately and not delay to speed logons.
    The Default delay is 5-6 minutes.
    If you want new assignments to appear more quickly throughout the day,
    you need to lower the partial and/or full refresh.
    Partial Excludes Bundles but is everything else.
    Full is everything.
    Since Bundles may be want most interests some customers, I have seen
    some have just turned off Partial and only do full at an increased
    frequency.
    Monitoring performance is important as you decrease the interval.

  • How to find total refresh time of Materialize view?

    Hello All,
    I want to know the total refresh time of Materialize view. i m refreshing MV by below statement
    i hv not logging the start and end time of this in process.
    exec dbms_mview.refresh('EMP_MV','C','',FALSE,FALSE,0,0,0,TRUE);
    So, anybody can you please know the using which database table it cab be possible?
    Thanks in advance

    The only way you can log the refresh time for each execution is to wrap the call inside a procedure that also logs the start and end times to a logging table.
    (if you manually run the exec dbms_mview.refresh from an SQLPlus command line, you could also SET TIMING ON in SQLPlus)

  • How do I speed up the email refresh time on my Mac ? iPad and IPhone almost a minute or more faster using same connection?

    How do I speed up the email refresh time on my MAC?

    Hi ToddSATX, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you receive email a few minutes faster on your iOS devices than on your Mac. This may be normal behavior, although there are a few settings that you can check if the delay is longer than that. 
    If you have a portable Mac, you may notice an improvement when it is connected to the power adapter. You can also select "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" from Preferences > Accounts > Advanced in the Mail menu (at the top left of the screen).
    You can find this information here:
    Mail (Yosemite): General preferences
    Check for new messages
    When Mail gets new messages from the mail server. By default, the option is set to Automatically (Mail varies how often it gets messages, based on whether your Mac is plugged into an electrical outlet). 
    An IMAP account may get messages more frequently if the mail server supports the IDLE command; make sure the option to use it is selected in the account’s Advanced pane in Mail preferences. 
    If you set the option to Manually, click the Get Mail button  in the Mail toolbar to check for messages. (Whenever you click an IMAP or Exchange mailbox, it syncs with the server, and shows new messages.)
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy 

  • Observing mutiple computers lower page delay or refresh time??

    I am trying to use ARD 3 to monitor couple computers.
    But the default refresh rate a real time and taking up too much bandwidth.
    I wanted to observe those computer with an update rate of every 15 minutes.
    Is this possible?
    The problem is the Page delay is grey out under view options.

    The delay does not represent the refresh time. The delay represents the amout of time to stay on a particular page before rotating to the next page.
    To make the slider active, simply decrease the number of computers visible on one page.
    ARD is in constant contact with the machines you are monitoring. There is no way to only update every 15 minutes.

  • How to tell mview refresh time including minutes

    Using usr_mviews, I can get last_refresh_date. But it didn't tell hour and minutes. Is there a method I can get last refresh time including hour and minute?

  • Why in ospf , lsa refresh time is set as 30 minutes

    Hi all
    i have doubt regarding the ospf lsa refresh time interval . why this is set as default by 30 minutes . is there any particular reason for this ? Please let me know

    Hi,
    RFC 2328 stipulates two facts:
    The maximum age of an LSA is 3600 seconds. After an LSA has reached an age of 3600 seconds, it must be flushed.
    Every LSA has to be reoriginated (that is, refreshed) every 1800 seconds.
    The choice of 1800 seconds for the refresh interval is purely a very conservative estimate of the advance in which an LSA should be refreshed so that it can still be propagated to all other routers in an area or OSPF domain in time before the old LSA expires by reaching the age of 3600 seconds. In essence, the choice of the refresh interval at 30 minutes gives the network an additional 30 minutes to propagate the refreshed LSA before the old one expires.
    In fact, current Cisco IOSes do not go by the exact 1800 second interval. The IOS has chosen various approaches to scheduling the LSA refreshing process, and it is very nicely described in this article by Petr Lapukhov:
    http://blog.ine.com/2009/12/31/tuning-ospf-performance/
    Scroll down to the part called LSA Group Pacing.
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • Slow waveform refresh time on timeline (PrPro CS CC & CC2014 & CC2014 8.1)

    I LOVE so many things about this new release. The one persistent, "always dealing with" issue I have is I have to wait for the audio waveform to refresh most times when I zoom in and out or even just scroll back and forth on the timeline. This is a huge slowdown/impediment issue for me.
    ( i copy text from here : Audio waveform refreshes display slowly on timeline (PrPro CS6) ) <--no solution
    example in video : adobe cc2014 - YouTube
    In my workplace all my colleagues have a similar problem, and no solution!

    and so on, I want to say that it's not because we forgot to install latest drivers, turn off bitcoin mining  or similar, we work with premiere more than 8 years and this is Totally unacceptable!
    so... what is real solution for this? New patch?

    There are many issues which are in CS6 and they are not Operator Error. My computer exceeds the minimum requirements of Premiere Pro and still have the same issue. On the other hand I have reinstalled several times but can't get Encore DVD menus, and also the title templates is buggy because I can't access the wedding templates. Supporting the application will not yield any further development to correct these issues. The bottom line was that CS6 was a rushed release since Adobe are giving themselves less time to develop the next version as compared to what they used to do. In less than 9 months they will be releasing 6.5 with fixes to all these issues and we will be forced to pay for the upgrade again becuase there will be no support for 6?? I think Harm get the upgrade for free so that you can continue to support Adobe, even if the software is messed up you will simply turn a blind eye. You should test this on an average system most users use not on your monster!!
