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".

  • The Help Tab (OSX ML) where you search for something does not work

    If I click "Help" and then search "expand" it will show me where expand is. But in CS6 when I clicked it the command would go through and pull up the page to expand pixels. Instead, I have to go find it. It works in every other Adobe app I use except Photoshop CC.
    I am on the latest version and on CC

    Hi Peter
    Thanks a lot for your help (and sorry for not having answered quicker, but my boss gave me a more urgent task last week...).
    Anyway, I did what you suggested (re-importing into a brand new project), and then the search for synonyms really worked! But, being a sceptical person, I did the same with another project, and with that one, it did not work. So, what I did next was compare all the settings of these two projects, and I found a difference.
    RH8 now contains a function that's called 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' (I don't know the English expression, but have a look at the attached picture: this is a screen shot from the second page when I generate WebHelp). After having done several tests, I came to the following conclusions:
    Search for synonyms does not work in HTML-Help, but it does work in WebHelp (and maybe others, but they are not relevant for me, so I did not test them);
    Search for synonyms does only work, when the function 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' is NOT activated.
    Could maybe somebody test this, too, and post here whether my conclusions are really correct?
    Btw: This fact is not mentioned in the RH-Manual; actually, this function 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' is not even mentioned there (at least not in the German edition)!!!
    Can hardly wait to see your feedback; thanks again for everybody's support!

  • Text Messaging Not Working

    Salient points:
    I'm using a brand new Droid Pro. This phone was provided by ProtectCell after my two-month-old phone experienced a cracked display. It is new, not factory refurbished. My service was working perfectly on my imperfect other phone. (Texts were being received and sent with no problems, it was reading them that was a problem, due to the faulty display.) I took the new phone to the Verizon Wireless store to have it activated and my contacts transferred. I have not been able to send or receive text messages on the new phone. I tried restarting the phone, then removing the battery, and when those didn't work I called customer service and was told there were no network issues in the area, and that my plan correctly showed unlimited texting. They were unable to transfer me to Technical Support because I had no other device on which to speak while troubleshooting. I was advised to try *228 in case of a programming error. That didn't work. I have made sure that my phone is running the most recent updates. I've even downloaded Handcent in case it was an issue with the included software, but it seems SMS is not working at all on this phone. I've verified that people are unable to send text messages to me, and that I am still able to call out and receive calls, so I know that the SMS is the only affected service. I don't know what else to try, or what I have missed, or if my wonderful new replacement phone is faulty out of the gate. Please help, before I tear out my hair.

    Lothruin, I am sorry your text messaging isn't working. I understand how frustrating this is and would like to assist you as best as I can. From  your post, I show you have performed a lot of the trouble shooting steps we would have performed. The last step would be to ensure your provisioned correctly on  your account for text messaging. This will involve speaking with you on an alternate phone. YOu may send me a private message with your name a alternate contact number to discuss and trouble-shoot your issue in more detail.

  • Iphone 5 not searching for text messages correctly anymore?

    If i type in 'Tim' to search for a text message from 'Tim' the search does not bring up tim's messages in the results, although it may randomly show some messages that have Tim in the written text of the messages??
    But if i scroll down through the messages themselves without using the search tool, Tims messages are there!?
    This isnt just for one person, it seeems to happen randomly for different names etc, As in i have a few friends by the name of Mark, yet when searching it may only bring up one of them...
    Not sure if I have explained myself very well, but hopefully somebody will get the jist and be able to help!!

    If you only have that much (little) space left it is likely the database on the phone is unable to continue indexing your messages.   I would strongly suggest that you start offloading some older messages and remove from your phone to free up space.   At the minimum, delete some attachments after saving them to camera roll/backup.

  • Spotlight Search in Mail does not work.

    I use Spotlight in Mail every day... all day. About an hour ago it just decided to stop working. Contacts, subjects, nothing returns any search results.
    I have restarted, done all system updates, and repaired disk permissions. Still nothing.
    Any ideas?

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  • Text messaging not working on my BB curve 8530

    My husband is on the same plan as me, but he has an android phone. I can send and receive text messages from him and myself, however, I can not send or receive text messages from anyone else. I've taken the battery out, updated my phone profile through the blackberry network and don't several other trouble shooting methods. 
    When I send a text it says that it goes through. When I got my phone I started texting my friends and family and received no response, thinking that everyone was just busy. When I talked to them later they said they never received anything and like wise, they sent me texts that I had not received as well. 
    I'm on Virgin Mobile and have called them several times now. The first person said that it should be working in 2-4 hours and that he would call me back. 4 hours later, It was not only still not working, but he had never called me back. The next person I called had me do all the trouble shooting that I had already done and then he told me it should be working in an hour. Three hours later it was still not working so I called again, this time I spoke to a lady that had me do all the trouble shooting again and said that she fixed it.. over the phone I texted google to be sure, and sure enough .. STILL DID NOT WORK. She said "oh.. well.. you need to talk to one of our blackberry specialists". After forwarding me to someone, he had me trouble shoot again... He said it should be working in 30-72 hours and that it was a problem with the blackberry network. I'm not sure I should wait 72 hours for it to work... especially when in the past they haven't called me back.
    1.) I can still make phone calls
    2.) I can text my husband and can receive texts from him
    3.) I can access the internet and download and upload files
    There is no indication on my phone that the texts are not going through, I get that little check mark by my text messages and everything looks normal.
    Is this a simple fix? Is everyone experiencing this problem?

    Hello !
    Do you have activated BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) Plan on your device?
    Kindly check with your service provider.
    And if it is activated, then does your plan cover to use any other messenger like Yahoo, Gtalk etc or not.
    Hope this resolves your Problem!
    If your problem has been resolved then would request you to Click on "Like" and accept as "Solution" so that other Advisors doesnt invest there time on this Message anymore.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

    In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
    Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
    I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
    These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
    System Configuration:
    Flash CC

    Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
    fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

  • Search/ find Text function not working in Adobe Reader

    I am having problem with text search in Adobe reader latest version 9.3.
    One pdf file generated through a pdf printer inside a word processing program and has around 100 pages. So there is no issue of having a scanned document which is not searchable.
    In this document, when I try to search the text inside the pdf file using Adobe Reader 9.0, it is working alright and it is recognising the text searched for.
    However, When the same pdf file is searched using Adobe Reader 9.3 and 9.4 etc it is not searching the text which is present at more than five places in the document.
    Please advise.

    Scanned PDFs that have not had OCR performed will just contain an image of text, so they cannot be searched. Other files may have messed up fonts. Without looking at eachc particular document, it's hard to say what's wrong.

  • Spotlight search for TEXT?

    Still on 10.4.9...
    I try searching for a certain WORD within my many documents, but Spotlight can only find the NAMES of files, not WORDS WITHIN the files, at least none within any of my QuarkXpress files...
    I also try Finder>Find, Use the MINUS button to delete all the other criteria, and change the default button from KIND to CONTENTS and type in the word I am looking for... There are no Quark files on the list, even though the Quark document is now actually opened and the certain word I'm looking for is right there...
    Could it be that Spotlight or the Find function do not look into QuarkXpress documents? Or other documents like MSWord?

    Content searches should work with MS Word, but not sure about QuarkXpress.
    You might have luck if you install the QuarkXpress Filter for Spotlight at the bottom of this page:

  • Saved search for Photo Stream not working in Mavericks

    I have a saved search for JPGs in my photo stream so I can easily access them via Finder instead of iPhoto. In Mavericks my saved search no longer sees my latest photo stream iPhone pics. Anyone else notice this? I can see them in iPhoto though. I've tried re-doing the search, etc, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Oh man, I've been beating my head on the desk trying to fix this. The only clue I have is that photos taken from iOS 7 (vs iOS 6) devices after about a week ago (wasn't there an OS X update recently?) don't show up in finder the same. When you dig through the "sub" folder to find the long-named folders with the photostream files in them, hit command+i and check out the "More Info:" section. The recent ones don't have anything in them (see http://d.pr/i/WKzR). Furthermore if you drill down to one of those folders containing such an image (see: http://d.pr/i/nIUP) and try to create a saved search from there it won't show up (see: http://d.pr/i/FOri).
    I even tried to create an automator to pull those images out, but when you're searching for a file in any of those new folders finder doesn't see anything.
    Not an answer for ya, just more confusion. Let me know if you get any bright ideas.

  • Can Spotlight search for text inside documents?

    I just lost a vital email -- detailed instructions for something I want to do, from a friend. And I don't know where I put it (overlapping possibilities exist within my filing structure).
    SHHHH: Windows used to let me search for specific text, inside documents, not just file or folder titles. Can I do that in OSX.8.2?

    Use the Find command or its shortcut:

  • Why is my text messaging not working

    My text loads almost the whole way, and then tells me it failed to send. My phone can make calls and use the internet but wont let me text or iMessage. I have tried resetting the network settings and the hard reset (holding home and lock buttons at the same time). How do I fix this?

    I assume you have imessage activated in settings/messages and that you have send as sms turned on there also. Text messages are a carrier feature and I would contact your carrier and ask them.
    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

  • 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

  • Text Messaging not working (Dallas TX - 75013, iOS 6 Plus, iOS 8.1.2)

    Hasn't been working since Dec 30.
    I get "Sending 1 of x messages" for every message sent and they don't appear in the text convo screen afterwards. Its like they timeout and then disappear.

        Hi there dslfkjiadjfkoadsjfadsfjoadsifo! With the concerns you are mentioning here, there are a couple things that you can try to fix this. One would be known as a soft reset which can be done by pressing and holding the power button along with the home button at the same time until the phone restarts. You can also reset the network settings on your phone by following these steps here http://vz.to/1E060LT . This should get things all taken care of for you. If you are still having trouble just let us know! Good luck to you!
