Spotlight Search for "Not Flagged"

I would like to create a smart mailbox that looks for all messages in a particular folder that are NOT flagged. There's no way for me to do this with the setup dialog. Is there syntax I can enter into the search box that would do this? If so, I could save the search and have what I need. Any help is appreciated!

How about creating a Smart Mailbox that shows all flagged messages, and then create another that shows messages that are not in the flagged message smart mailbox?

Spotlight search for text messages not working

After upgrading to ios8, I discovered that the spotlight search for text messages only "sees" my last two texts but not any of the others I have on my phone. These are all active conversations, not deleted messages. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

I Fixed mine by going to setting->General->Sptolight and unchecking "messages", exiting the function then returning and rechecking "messages".

With the iphone 4s sometimes the spotlight search does not work and you must restart the device. There will be an update that will fix the problem?

Refining the search for notes

Hello,
I normally get a lot of irrelevant notes, when I search for notes on service market place.
Is it possible to make a detailed search for SAP Notes so that you get a list returning all notes in a service pack? The search criterias should be e.g. version of SAP and current service pack level.
BR Ewing

Click on the support package name, a window will pop up where you get all notes, that are contained in the SP.

Spotlight/Searching does not work for afp shares in Lion

Hi
I cannot search for files in Finder on my afp shares. The server and client are both running Lion 10.7. Anything I am missing? Should this work or not? I'm so used to Spotlight I would really hate it if this isn't supported for afp shares.
Thanks NEI

Spotlight search for contact does not open contact itself

Hello everybody
I have the following problem:
if I search for an addressbook contact using spotlight it immediately comes up with a credible result. As I hit enter on the result, the address book app opens. So far everything is ok. Now what does NOT happen, is that only the address book app opens, it does however not show the contact for which I have originally searched and on which I have pressed enter. Instead I'm having to do another search in the address book search in order to display the actual contact.
In the spotlight options I have enabled address book searches, in fact nothing is disabled in there.
I also have the current lion software and I'm using a 13" MacBook Air i5.
Can anyone help?
Cheers!
Ben
PS: I know there's another thead that deals with this problem, however it's quite old and now there's iCloud (which I use) so it might be different...

go into settings>general>restrictions and disable facetime.BOOM

Spotlight searchs for English apps and not Spanish

Hi,
Some macs I own have a very estrange problem. A can use spotlight for finding everything but no Spaniard words for Applications. for instance, if I use spotlight for searching "address book", no problem at all but if I search for "agenda", which is the Spaniard word for address book it won't find it in applications.
This only happens in spotlight, but not in finder, where all the apps have their Spaniard name correctly and of course I have the system in Spanish.
How can I solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
I had the same problem once and solved it like this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=888614&tstart=0

Spotlight Search for Reminders: Only references subject line, not Reminder Notes

Just shipped 20 large boxes from west cost to east coast, they're going to be sitting in the garage of where I'm staying for a month. Using the Reminders app, I created Reminder for each box, in the subject line the box number and tracking number. In the Notes field for each Reminder I entered the details of the box contents, thinking that I could later search for a particular item, find the Reminder for it and know what box it's in.
Wish I'd tested my theory as I've now discovered that while Reminders are searchable with Spotlight on my iOS devices, it only references the subject line -- Spotlight ignores Reminder comments. Bummer :-(

Spotlight Search for 0KB Images?

I'm having a big problem with my iPhoto Library.
Is there a way for me to search for 0KB images in an iPhoto Library (say after I do a Show Package Contents)?
If so, I'd love to get specific instructions on how to do this. Also, if there is a Spotlight Forum please direct me to it as I could not find it.
Thanks

Or try Find Any File . I find Spotlight searches overly complex and limited.

How to use the spotlight search for photos imported onto an apple ipod model MB528BT

I have an apple ipod model MB528BT version 4.2.1 (8C148) Im think its an iPod touch as opposed to the old iPod but cannot be certain. So first of all does this model number mean anything and/or can I confirm myself via the unit itself?
Assuming its an iPod Touch my question is :-
I have copied photos from a dvd I purchased for identifying birds onto my iMac which I readily search via spotlight.
Having downloaded these photos onto my ipod when I conduct a spotlight search it only finds the birdsong but not the image! Cannot get into settings for spotlight to set for images. If of course this is the answer.
Anyone know the answer please!
Thanks David

"also i use imessage alot so when somebody sends a message who will get it the ipad or the ipod?"

Spotlight search for Address Book contact results in import query?

This bug is happening frequently lately, wheby I perform a Spotlight seach for a contact that is in my Address Book, and then when I select the contact in the search results, Address Book is selected and the app asks me "Are you sure you want to import 1 card?"
Anybody ever see this problem or how to resolve it?
Thanks.

Peter, that is not a solution -- try selecting the same contact again from spotlight and you'll get the same "Import" dialog box, asking you what you want to do.
The expected behavior from Address Book is to open the existing contact.
No other application does this from Spotlight that I'm aware of, and after 7 years of OS X, this is still very, very annoying.
I wish there were a fix -- I'm activley looking and will report back.
