The new search feature doesn't work for me

I'm a music teacher and all the music I need for my 8 classes/day is in iTunes.
It used to be that when you would search by a key word in the title, all the songs with that word
in them would show up in alphabetical order by title.
In other words, I could find the song I wanted fast, fast fast, while 28 sets of eyes were still on me.
Now, I may or may not get the song in the first list, it is obscured by albums and other stuff and
the short title line makes it nearly impossible to distinguish between songs with similar titles.
Then, I have to click the "show all" and many of the same problems still persist.
Is there a trick I need to learn, or do I just pray that Apple will give us a more functional search tool!!!!!
Plus when I click the song in the search list, does it start playing?  NO!  I have to find it in the other window that may
be partially obscured and click it there!.  If you think I'm being to needful for speed and efficiency, you have never been
in front of a classroom with 25 hormone freaked students just looking for a chance to get off task!
Thanks, especially if anyone has any ideas.

If you deslect Search Entire Library Search will behave as before
Click on the small black arrow to the right of the magnifying glass in Search
Untick Search entire Library and it will work as in itunes 10. You may also notice a speed improvement

  • Annotating pdf documents in Preview - the text search feature doesn't work?

    Hi everyone,
    I'd like to annotate my pdf documents using preview. However, I realized the other day that as soon as I start annotating a document (with notes, shapes, highlighting, etc), the preview text search doesn't work anymore.
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    This is a known problem. I have seen one suggestion to print the annotated PDF as a new PDF in order to get search capability back. You can try the Apple Discussions "search" feature at the upper right corner to look for more suggestions.

  • The roll over feature doesn't work for customizing, is there a way I can fix this

    I always have to change my browsers theme to see what it looks like, instead of just roll over. Is there a way to fix this?

    Previewing a persona only works on sites that are whitelisted via an allow exception.

  • How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please.  Thanks

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
    Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

  • HT1277 I cannot open the new email icon for 10.6.8 and the latest secrtoy update. My old "Stamp" icon email won't let me in either indicating that the new OS version doesn't work. Please help

    I cannot open the new email icon for 10.6.8 including the latest security update. My old "Stamp" icon email won't let me in either indicating that the new OS version doesn't work. Please help. I have spend over 4 hours installing and reinstalling updates, etc. and I don't know where to go from here.....

    Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
    Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
    When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
    The solution has been to:
    1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
    2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
    3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
    Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
    If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

    Silly Apple, you can't even buy Lion/10.7 anymore, onlt ML/10.8 after you get SL/10.6!???
    You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor

    I'm totally disappointed because of that. 

    Try doing a reset - hold down the sleep/wake button and the Home button together until the Apple logo appears, then let them go and allow the iPad to finish restarting. Then launch Safari and try to open a new tab.

  • I just chnged the password on myipod.Now when i try the new password it doesn't work,and when I try the old password it doesn't work.I know how to unlock it, but  the last computer i synced it with isnt working so there's no way for me to get my stuffback

    So changed the password on my ipod touch this afternoon, and eversince then the password is not working. I keep trying the old password and hen the new one but none are working. I know there is a way to unlock it, but that would delete all my stuff and the last computer i synced my ipod to is broken, so ther'es now ay for me to get my things back. Could i have made a mistake when entering the new password?

    Could i have made a mistake when entering the new password?
    It's entirely possible. And it sounds like you already know what needs to happen in order to correct it.  I'm afraid you won't be able to salvage any data that hasn't been included in your latest backup of the device via iTunes.

  • The iPhone Search feature doesn't show Contacts/Top hits anymore?

    All of a sudden... when I use the general Search Feature on the iPhone4,  the Top Hits do not show up anymore.  This was the main way I found the contacts that I wanted to call.  Any ideas on how to turn that back on?

    You could try going to Settings > General > Spotlight Search and make sure all options there are checked.

  • This app tab feature doesn't work for me: "Links to new websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change".

    I installed the new firefox 4 browser today. In the description about the new app tab the following feature is claimed:
    "Links to new websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change."
    This doesn's seem to work for me. When I click a link in an app tab i just get redirected and my app tab changes. Is this a bug or a setting?

  • Publish for Approval - the new plug-in - doesn't work with Leopard

    This aperture plug-in arrived for download just a few days before Leopard arrived. It worked great with Tiger. It doesn't work at all with Leopard. It appears that Leopard comes with a new version of Apache Server and it doesn't work with the Publish for Approval plugin. Does anyone know if and when an update will be released?

    I'm not seeing the Java plugin in the plugins list in the System Details list.
    Did you install the 32 bit Java version?
    Do you see the Java plugin in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins"?

  • The drop-down list that appears when typing in the Google search bar doesn't work. Clicking on an item on that list does nothing. This very useful feature is broken.

    I just installed FireFox 4. In previous versions typing in the Google search box automatically created a drop-down list of items. One could click on an item on the list and proceed to a Google results page. In FireFox 4, the list appears but clicking on an item on the drop-down menu does nothing. It's broken and it was a very useful feature in previous versions.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Boolean Search Constraint in new Java API doesn't work for value of false

    I'm developing an application that interfaces with MDM via the new Java API.  We're on MDM version 5.5 SP 4 and have the latest patches installed.  I can do searches fine on the repository, but have run into one problem with the Boolean Search Constraint.  I have a set of records in the main table that have several boolean fields.  I've discovered that when searching these records using a Boolean Search Constraint on any of the fields, I'm always receiving records that match the boolean value of true.  This is even when I specify the Boolean Search Constraint value as false.  Is anybody else seeing this problem?

    It's a bug in MDM 5.5 SP04.  The fix is in MDM 5.5 SP05.

  • Oracle Help search feature doesn't work with RoboHelp generated output

    I am using RoboHelp HTML, Version 10 on Windows 7.  I am able to generate Oracle Help output and integrate it with my Java application.  When I do this, the Content and Index tabs work fine, but the Search feature does not. Regardless of what search term I try, I get no search results.  In generating the Oracle Help output, I used the default options throughout.
    Any suggestions as to what is causing this problem?
    Thanks.

    Dear Peter,
    I met the following problem, and please help me.
    My English (not Chinese) operating system: Windows XP
    Version: 2002
    Before using RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp, I perform the
    following steps:
    1. Control Panel->Regional Options
    2. On the "Languages" page make sure make sure you check the
    box "Install files for East Asian languages".
    3. On the "Advanced" page select "Chinese" from the language
    dropdown list.
    Then I perform the following steps:
    1. Use RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp (my Webhelp project
    contains localized Chinese files).
    2. In the "Search" tab, input a Chinese character(For example
    "连接") and perform a seach.
    Result: Serching...(or 正在搜索) or
    No topics found (or
    未找到主题)。
    Expected result: I can get the result.
