System Prefs search results in Spotlight always appear in Japanese ... ?

Recently I've noticed that for some reason, searching for System Prefs using Spotlight always returns the results in Japanese, whereas all of the other search results in Spotlight are in English.
Does anyone have any idea how this could happen, or how to reverse it? I've tried removing all languages except for English from the International System Prefs, but they still show up in Japanese.
Any help much appreciated.

Try re-indexing Spotlight.

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.

Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist

/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Organize search results in spotlight's finder search function ?

Hello.
The search results in the finder search window (cmd-f from within finder)—is there a way to organize them just like the files in any finder window (name, date, size, kind … ) ?
(I guess I should add that I of course know there is some organization offered by the sideboard on the right in the actual spotlight window. But this one offers other and in may cases less effective criteria.)
Would be very useful. Thanks a lot.

If the ⌘F search results are in a "brushed metal" window in the "Finder", the window should have buttons for "Icon" and "List" view near the top left edge, just like a regular "Finder" window (unless you have customized your "Finder" toolbar to remove those buttons). Switching to "List" view should allow the full choice of sort criteria to be selected from "View Options" (⌘J).
If the window is in "aqua" mode (no toolbar or sidebar), it is still possible to switch to "List" view from the menu bar - "View" > "as List" (⌘2).

Search results when accessed always opens in a new window

Hi,
We are using WPC to develop web pages. We have created a Header component that contains the
search option and embedded in the framework so that it is available in all the web pages. An iview has
been created using the Header. The issue we are facing is that whenever the 'Search' button available
on the header is clicked the search results are launched in NEW window rather than within the current
window.
We have made sure that the iView Properties of the Header for "Launch in New Window" options is set
to - "Display in Portal Content Area". But still No luck.
I have also checked for the workprotect mode and it looks fine. Any pointers as to how the search
results can be displayed within the current active window rather than opening in a NEW window? Let me
know if I am missing anything.
We use the EPCM.doNavigate(advancedSearchURL) to launch the search results.

Hi Vijaya
You would have to develop your own property renderer that sets the target to parent instead of blank, and create a property based upon the property renderer, and reference this property in the search result layout set.
The desired functionality cannot be obtained through "normal customization" even though some of the iview properties indicates that.
You can search for the documentation with regards to how to create a custom property renderer.

In WIndows 8, Google search results for Firefox (only) appear in a narrow column on the left of the window.

Firefox (25.0.1) and Google worked well together until 11/26/2013 when a guest user searched on Google. Google search still works well on IE and Chrome. The problem is only on Firefox and only with Google. Bing, Ask, Yahoo, Wikipedia all perform and display as expected. No recent installs or upgrades. No other search engine returns results in a narrow column on the left. It is as if the guest user dragged the results to the left column and that display became the default. I can not restore the prior display. I have restarted Windows. I have reinstalled Firefox, but that has not fixed the problem. I have disabled all add-ons (I do not have any) and run in safe mode, The problem still exists. Appearance is Default 25.0.1

Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac). 
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right. 
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

SharePoint 2010 - People Search Results - About Me Property

Hi,
Currently, we have About Me showing in our People Search Results page.
About Me is a User Profile Property that allows Users to specify information about themselves. This Profile Property is an HTML property and therefore may contain links/URLs. When About Me contains links/URLs, they appear as proper links in the User Profile.
However, in the People Search Results page, they just appear as plain text. We would like them to appear as actual links similar to the User Profile.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi Seth,
I do know it uses XSLT and have modified this XSLT before for Business requirements.
However, I'm not even sure if my question is something that can be fixed thru XSLT.
In XSLT, it is only 1 line that shows the About Me text:
<xsl:value-of select='substring(hithighlightedproperties/aboutme,1,350)' />
So I'm not sure if there's any way else to achieve what we want.

Certificate error pops up from Google search results page

Hi,
I wanted to find out more info about a certain company, so I typed the name on Google. When I clicked on Search (not I'm feeling lucky!) the search results appeared, but I immediately got a pop-up saying the certificate for the website of the company in question was not valid:
"Secure Connection Failed
www.mvfaccount.com:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
This could be a problem with the server's configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
If you have connected to this server successfully in the past the error may be temporary and you can try again later."
But the thing is: I hadn't even clicked on that search result! The warning appeared while the search results page was loading.
I find that unsettling because it makes me wonder: does Firefox visit the websites before I visit them?
And before you ask: no, I'm not a customer of that company (Maple Valley Financial) nor did I ever visit them before.
Thanks,
Sergio

I'm not sure how this could be a Firefox setting, but I would try the "usual" first:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference? If that helps, it could be that you selected to block that element in one of your add-ons.

Word files appearing as search results

Hello,
I thought I'd come across a topic like this before, but I
can't seem to find one now. Here's my situation...
I have some MS Word files included in my RH project for users
to download. They are located in their own book -- let's call it
"Forms." I would like the "Forms" book to be the only place that
users find those files.
What I didn't realize was that links to download those files
would appear as search results. They sort of interrupt the other
search results, and the file names that I've given them were not
intended for clients. I can rename all of them, but I'd prefer to
remove them from the search results.
There must be a way to do this...right?
If it helps, I'm using RoboHelp HTML X5.0.2, and my Primary
Layout is WebHelp Pro.
Thanks! I've found a lot of help throughout these
forums.

Hello,
You have to use Archiving object - "FI_ACCRECV" to archive Customer Master Data (BP).
When general data for customer master records is archived, the system automatically checks whether the following conditions have been met:
- The deletion flag is set.
- The customer is not locked for deletion.
- Dependent data of the following types no longer exists in the system:
1. Business partner of the customer
2. Company code-specific data (FI data)
3. Sales data (SD data)
4. Transaction figures
5. Special general ledger transaction figures
6. Open items
7. Cleared items in the archive
8. Customer/Vendor links
For the archiving object all the required configurations should be maintained.
If you don't have archive server in place then do not take the option of storing (Just archive and delete the data).
-Thanks,

BP appearing in search results after BP merging process completed

Hi Gurus,
Can some one please throw some light on how to stop the displaying of BP's appearing in search results who have been assigned an archiving indicator (XDELE flag set) in BUT000 table.
The scenario is as follows,
We identify duplicate BP's, for eg- BP1 BP2 and BP3 are identical.
Then BP2 will be confirmed as main BP and correct one.
BP1 and BP3 will be merged to BP2 using the Merge accounts functionality in CRM 7.0 WEB client.
BP1 and BP3 will have archiving indicator (XDELE field set to X in BUT000 table) after merging process.
And the problem starts when agents are searching for BP2, still BP1 and BP3 who have XDELE flag set still appears in search results.
The expectation is we do not want BP's to be appearing in search results that have archiving flag set in BP master record.
Can some one please advise how to achieve this, is there any config step or we have to go for enhancement.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Gopio.

My Google preferences are set to show search results in a new window. However, when I do a Google search, it Firefox always opens 2 new windows with the (same) results. How can I fix this?

I did not change my Google settings. I always have had it set to open search results in a new window. Some time ago, it started opening up two windows that have identical url/content.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Is there a way to have the calender results in a global search on an iPhone to appear in reverse cronological order?

Is there a way to have the calender results in a global search on an iPhone to appear in reverse cronological order?

I guess not... (at least not on 5.x!!). I would just like the calendar search to return results in chronological order of any sort. With iCloud calendars and OS 5.1.1 it lists all the results (by date order) for one calendar, and then does all the results for the other one, which is a bit tiresome. Strangely it all works fine with Google calendars... But maybe I will just use spotlight search to get round this problem for now.

How do I copy text from a Spotlight search result quicklook window?

Is it possible to copy text from the quicklook windows that appear when you hover over a Spotlight search result? It would be useful to be able to copy, say, a phone number or email address straight from the address book card that appears in Spotlight. The only options I see are to display the text in large type and to Facetime (for phone numbers) and to perform mapping functions for addresses; simple copying seems to be disabled for some reason.
I am using Spotlight in OS 10.7.5.

Can't access the search results I get on Finder after the system is updated to Mavericks.

Hi there guys, how are you?
I work everyday with my 21.5' iMac and it had OS Lion before I updated to Mavericks last month. As I work with lots of files, I have also a 1TB Lacie external drive pluged into it via firewire and I constantly access these files. After I updated though, I'm experiencing a strange problem. Everytime I search for a file on Finder, all the results that come up can't be edited or even selected. This is driving me crazy because I must open another tab and go all the way through the file I want as I can't select any file from the searches. All the search results come up written in gray color and with a empty circle on its left side. I can't even click on them! For better explanation, here is a picture of what happens:
Before the update, I used to normally access every result the search came up to.
I have another iMac here in the network with Mavericks too and all the searches returns with selectable and editable results. Can anyone help me with this, I am having a really hard time here as I am losing much much time. Thanks a lot and sorry for the bad english!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Spotlight Search Results - Sort by Date Modified

Running 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro.
Is there a way to sort Spotlight search results by date modified?
Am I missing something really basic or is Apple kinda going insane?
I also don't like that I can't search my files by filename without also allowing Spotlight to index the contents of my hard drive. I don't want my content indexed.
Why does Apple use AES encryption for FileVault? It has an NSA backdoor...
And while I'm at it, I can't network with my PB180 running System 7.5.5 anymore (OSX 10.2 let me).
GRRR! I hate when progress gets senile.

Rants will get you nowhere on these forums except banned.
If you want to report this to Apple, send Feedback and send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.
