Still no search of contact notes?

Why can't I search for content in contact notes on an iphone 4 with 4.2.1 ?
Still doesn't work on an ipad either.
No problems on a standalone Mac doing this.
This is a pretty basic function on most phones that include contact notes.
Why is it still not included on an iphone?

Crazy, huh? I'd put forth that request on Apple's feedback link along with the ability to search other fields in contacts and calendars ages ago, but it apparently has fallen on deaf ears. My lowly PDA from many years ago searched EVERYTHING and quickly. If the concern is for speed and/or space for index files, they should at least make it an option to search those fields. It's ridiculous that this feature isn't supported on every iOS device.

  • Search in contacts not working

    the searchh bar in the address book does not work?... I'm not loving the new layout either

    Not that you provided a lot of info to work with, but...
    Note that the search will work only within the Group that you are currently in. To search the entire address book you have to select the All Contacts group.

  • Search inside contact "note"

    I always put some important contact information in the "note" field in contacts like "hobbie: Surfing" or "I know him from: Trip to Baja" so when I want to search for all my surfer friends or anyone is easy. But I tried the search in Z10 and it doesn't look inside the "note" field in contacts like IPhone does. Is there any way to change a setting to allow that? It would make my life a lot easier!

  • BI Auth - user still can search & execute for not authorized query

    Hello All,
    need your help here.
    For BI security,
    I've configured menu role (for example ZBEX_FIN) in order for the end users to see only specific queries/workbook inside the menu folder that assigned to him/her.
    And I've made a function role for end user, copy from the template S_RS_RREPU with the modification:
    1. I delete 0BI_ALL
    2. add S_USER_AGR and put my menu role above (ZBEX_FIN) for field ACT_GROUP
    3. add S_RS_FOLD to disable the infoarea button in BEx.
    currently the user can see and execute report assigned in the role menu folder, this is correct.
    But the problem is there's a find button in the BEx, when the user try to search other query (non authorized query,the one that supposed he can't see), he still can display the query, then can execute the query. This is not acceptable.
    Anyone can suggest whether I can disable the find button in the BEx
    or any other restriction in the role that I missed, so the user can only execute and display the query/workbook under the role menu only.
    Thanks in advance.

    So it means that we need to do it twice restrictring the query in the role menu and then inside the S_RS_COMP ?
    so later when the user wants to add more queries in his role, we need to add those in the role menu as well inside the S_RS_COMP. is this correct ?
    When you add queries/workbook to role menu, you are not restricting the access. Its just that user menu would list those queries/workbooks. Users can search for other queries and workbook and run them with proper authorizations in S_RS_COMP. You may consider maintaining query naming convention with wild cards for example YRZ* etc to give access to all queries/workbooks starting with YRZ. This would save your effort to update role too freqeuntly.
    And if I have a workbook, how I put it inside the S_RS_COMP ? because the component of S_RS_COMP is query only.
    S_RS_COMP can restrict queries as well as workbooks with field RSZCOMPTP= REP

  • I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar

    Question
    I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar. Tried f10, alt, nothing! Can I reload an old firefox? There is no firefox logo at top. When I rt click at top I see hide toolbar and leave full screen. To the right there is only a home sign. How can I get my BOOKMARKS ??????? I so need them and hate what ever this is that now shows up on firefox.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How to enable categories in iCloud Outlook contacts and search option to include contacts notes?

    So, I've seen various threads about iCloud not supporting categories as we know them in Outlook.  Categories are kept in iCloud contacts (in Outlook) but they just don't work as they did when contacts where in Outlook's PST folder.  I haven't seen that someone has found a solution to work this out without having to create groups one by one.  The other problem though is that when I search iCloud contacts in Outlook, I type in a keyword and the contact with the supposed keyword in its categories does not display if the contact has more than one categories linked to it.  Prior to iCloud I was able to pull up contacts by typing in a word in the search bar.  For instance, I'd type in a keyword of one my categories and Outlook would display all contacts that contained the word I searched (be it if the contact contained the keyword in its contact fields, categories, or notes).  Now, when I search a keyword, iCloud does not pull up the contact(s) with the specific word  if the contact has more than one categories linked to it.  It also appears that iCloud contacts in Outlook does not search keywords that are in the contacts' notes.  Does anyone know how to get these features to work?  I basically need iCloud contacts to be able to search contacts  along with their categories and their notes and display all contacts that contain the word I typed in the search bar.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

    Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your first screenshot as it includes your account id.
    Looking at the reviews for the app it appears to be a waste of money, and the support link on the apps' description page doesn't appear to work. You could contact iTunes Suppot via the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • I have iphone 4S. when i make personal hotspot and say a device is connected, blue bar at top shows status of connection. in this situation if i want to find contact through direcctory, the search option is not work. anybody suggest how to resolve it ..?

    while on personal hotspot, searching a contact is not work. can anybody has solution ..

    Complain to the Attorney General about what? There is nothing in your story worth any such complaint. They will tell you the same.
    First you have payment difficulty so credit and the Edge program are not available to you. You have to be credit worthy to get any upgrade, unless you can pay full price for all those new devices.
    Can you?
    You are trying to get new contract plans, but since you are having paying on time and in full issues you will not get extended credit from any carrier.
    What I would do is go and port out to Boost or Virgin Mobile where you pay a reduced cost for each device and get unlimited everything for $40 to $50 a month, it is pre pay so if you don't pay you get cut off.
    Verizon although with the best coverage is also the highest priced.
    Good Luck

  • Spotlight does not search by contact in Messages

    Can anyone please help me or at least explain to me why this is happening to my Messages app
    1. This image shows my Messages Inbox. Note that I have messages from Mike De Castro, Sandy Layug and Chris Santos.
    2. Problem is when I search using Spotlight within Messages. In most cases, Spotlight does not behave correctly. I am able to type in the word i want to search but it doesn't seem to search the Contacts -- only the content.
    (a) tried searching for "Sandy", it didn't give any search results;
    (b) tried searching "Mike", it gave me a message from Mike De Castro (contact search) and a message from Khai (content search);
    (c) tried searching "Chris", it only gave me messages that contains the word "chris" in the message but no contact named "Chris".
    This has been a pain in the *** since I search messages by Contact and not by content. This works fine before.
    I hope you could help me find a solution to this. Tried the search on my wife's 4s (5.0.1) and it works properly.
    I am using a 4s on IOS 6.0.1.
    On Spotlight Search under General Settings, Contacts has a check mark.
    This happens in Messages only. Searching by contact in Mail works fine.

    I had this same problem.  Called apple and no fix.  I completely reset my phone (erased everything) and set it up as a new phone again.   Works perfect now.   Go to Settings- General - Reset - Erase all content and settings.

  • How can i optimize my SEARCH ENGINE???I use godaddy.i contact them and they give me this conclusion:Search engines are not pulling up your other pages on your website because it is created with javascript. the content on the pages, (photo gallery.....

    conclusion from godaddy:
    Search engines are not pulling up your other pages on your website because it is created with javascript.
    the content on the pages, (photo gallery, My Recipes/Blog, History, Friends) need to be formatted to HTML, PHP or CSS. No search engines (google, Yahoo, Bing) can crawl//analyze webpages built with javascript.
    See if Apple allows iweb to create the pages in HTML format and ask how to make those changes.
    I spend more then 1 hour on the phone with them but we didn't find the solution...
    please i need help because like this nobody can rich my website...
    www.chefdiego.com
    thank you

    The part of iWeb pages that give the search engines problem is the navbar.  That's javascript based.  One way to get around that is to create another blank page in the site that's not  included in the navbar. 
    Add a text based navbar in that page with just the other pages in the site. 
    Also you can use that page for creating the sitemap for Google at Create your Google Sitemap Online - XML Sitemaps Generator.
    Have you let Google know your site exists? This website describes how to get it recognized: Get your iWeb website found in search engines like Google Yahoo MSN and Bing.
