"This Site" searches all site collections

Hi
I've created a new web application and site collection (http://newSite)
I created a second site collection (http://newSite/sites/newsite)
For some reason when i do a search on the standard home page of
http://newSite and select "This site: newSite" (the only option in the dropdown list) sharepoint also returns results for the second child dite collection (http://newSite/sites/newsite).
Any ideas why?
Another question: I have also create a new scope. How do i get the new scope to display in the default dropdown list?
many thanks for your response.

I'm not sure why you are seeing results from the other site collection. However for your dropdown list issue. You just need to go to your Site Collection settings -> Search Settings and check the use custom scopes box and provide the path
to your search center. It will then display whatever scopes are in the scope display group named Search Dropdown. You can modify this by clicking on the Search Scopes link and then add your custom scope to that display group.Corey Roth blog: www.dotnetmafia.com twitter:

What to do? When on a site with a PDF download I wish to open, the site commences to open in a new Tab but the information does not come through? This happens on all sites. The advanced Java Script is disabled.

When on a site with a PDF download I wish to open, when I click on download the site commences to open in a new Tab but the information does not come through? This happens on all sites. The advanced Java Script is disabled. The new tab will sometimes flash black then go white with nothing else happening or just go white & nothing else?

I had the same problem and also had PDF Download 3.0.02 installed. By removing this addon I can now select a PDF document which then opens up a normal Open With/Save dialogue allowing me to open the file or save it. Hope this helps.

Hi Gary...
I see you are running v10.4.11 and you have updated Safari but make certain all the system software is up to date by clicking your Apple menu / Software Update.
If everything is up to date, try resetting Safari from the menu bar.
Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try several of the sites you mentioned.
has started quitting
If resetting didn't help, post a crash report.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

I'm only seeing websites source code show up in Firefox? About 5 percent of the time (or less), websites will display properly, but the rest of the time it's just the source code. This occurs on all sites I try. Whats up?

Not sure why this is happening, I've tried changing a bunch of settings to no avail.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Publishing site without ALL sites being re-published

I have four web sites published with iWeb. Each has multiple pages. When I work on a particular site and then hit the publish button at the bottom of the page iWeb goes in and publishes ALL the pages on ALL the sites even though they are up to date. This takes ages of course.
Then when I reply to the message 'your site has been published' etc. etc. and click on Visit it always goes to the first site in my list NOT the one I have just updated and published.
I am publishing to a .Mac account
The solution is right under my nose I am sure - I'm just not too computer savvy.
Thanks for any help.

I have four web sites published with iWeb. Each has
multiple pages. When I work on a particular site and
then hit the publish button at the bottom of the page
iWeb goes in and publishes ALL the pages on ALL the
sites even though they are up to date. This takes
ages of course.
That's the way iWeb works with multiple sites in the same Domain file. The only way to truly publish sites independently would be to keep your sites separate in multiple Domain files.
Then when I reply to the message 'your site has been
published' etc. etc. and click on Visit it always
goes to the first site in my list NOT the one I have
just updated and published.
Yep, that "Visit" button is just like typing in your short iWeb URL... http://web.mac.com/yourname ... this always takes you to the default start site...not the most recently published page. Again, this is the expected behavior or iWeb.

All Site Replication connection from particular one Server

Hi,
I have AD structure with multiple Site. All site have one Domain Controller. But KCC automatically create
connection from one particular server (DC) for all site DC.
Example : I have 5 Site and 5 DC. Each DC belongs to each site. I check all DC create "automatically generated"
connection from DC5 only. I don't want to create manual replication connection. I want kcc is generated connection from different server ( from DC2).
It is possible ?

Each DC belongs to a specific site?
To have KCC make 'smart' connections, the easiest and preffered way is to define site links and define an appropriate cost to them. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794882%28v=ws.10%29.aspx KCC
will use the connection with lowest cost that is available to create a replication connection.
If you have multiple dc's in one site, you can make the dc that has to handle replication 'preferred bridgehead' http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776937(v=ws.10).aspx
Note it is indeed best practice not to create manual replication connections, but to have KCC handle it. That will ensure that if network downtime occurs on an important link, KCC can 'failover' to other connections while maintaining consistency.

SP2010 I need to set the include in search option switch on all document libraries to off across all site collections on the whole farm?
Has anybody seen If this can be done programmatically any help would be gratefully welcomed thanks.

i am not sure about the script, why not create crawl rule which will exclude the allitems.aspx from showing in the search results.
Go to search service application, crawling section, click crawl rules to create a crawl rule to excludehttp://*allitems.aspx page.

Allow users to search on all site collections, no matter where they are browsing

SharePoint 2010, Enterprise Edition.
I need to allow users to use the search box to search on all existing site collections, no matter what site they are. Currently, users are only allowed to search on the current site and on sites that are below the current one. Is it possible to search "everywhere"?
Creating a Search Center would be a possible approach for this? Thanks.

Yes, I would suggest creating an Enterprise search center and adding that to the navigation. Then you can go to the site settings to configure the site to use that search center.

Search option or Query to search multiple Site collections?

Is there a Search or Portal site Hierarchy/ Structure option in SharePoint 2013 that would enable searching of specific and multiple Site collections (not Search all)?
We opened a ticket with Microsoft o365 and they said this is not possible without custom development and that search queries can't span multiple Site collections.
Is this true?

You can setup a custom Result Source that limits results to the paths (URLs) provided, then use this Result Source in a custom search page, CSWP, etc. Check this post for more info:
http://sharepointbrandon.com/2013/07/setup-multiple-search-pages-result-sources-search-scopes-for-a-site-search-in-sharepoint-2013/
You can use the path restrictor to specify the URLs to limit the search to, IE: "path:http://yourdomain/site".
Hope that helps.

Changing site collections logos across all site collections

HI All,
I need to change the logo across all site collections, which are around 300-400, so don't intend to do this manually.
My question is, will simply replacing the current logo in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE....
with the logo I want to change to, and naming it exactly the same as the current logo, not achieve this?
I have searched online and people run PS to achieve this, but in my head the above seems to be work, please correct me?
Thanks

I completely agree with Alex and not suggest to touch/change root folder. Initially it might looks easy but it may create issue.
My option is to BRAND the sites. Master page branding is not a new concept and it mainly use for unanimous look and feel
Look at below links which will help you to explore about branding

Usage Reports in all Site collections

Hi all,
We are using Sharepoint 2013 Server and we want to use Usage reports, but my question is, is it possible to obtain the usage reports of all site collections with one button?
We don't want to go trough each site collection and run the site collection reports to see the statistics.
Anyone knows about a third party application that does the work?
Thanks,

albandrod
Unfortunately, Usage Reporting capabilities in SharePoint 2013 have been greatly reduced and I suspect they will be further reduced in coming versions. Here are some third-party approaches in varying levels of complexity:
Google analytics
HarePoint
DocAve Analytics for SharePoint
Webtrends
More can be found: search under "web Analytics." You may also want to have a look at a free solution:

Applying theme to all sites in a site collection SharePoint Foundation 2010

I am working in SharePoint Foundation 2010 and want to apply a theme found in my top level site to all the remaining sites in the site collection. I found the following bit of code on-line and put it in a script:
function Apply-SPTheme([string]$SiteUrl, [string]$webName, [string]$themeName)
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($SiteUrl)
$web = $Site.OpenWeb($webName)
$theme = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.ThmxTheme]::Open($site,"_catatlogs/theme/" + $themeName + ".thmx")
$theme.ApplyTo($web,$false)
$web.Update()
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()
Apply-SPTheme "https://sitename" "" "themeName"
I call the function in the last line and the web site where I obtained the code indicated that this would put the theme in all other sites. When I run the script I get the follwing message:
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. At C:\applyTheme.ps1(the script file):6 char:16
$theme.ApplyTo <<<< <$web,$false>
+CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (ApplyTo:String) [], RuntimeException
+FullyQualifiedErrorId:InvokeMethodOnNull
I'm a novice programmer and particularly novice on Powershell. I'm not sure I understand what the problem is or how to fix it.
I'd appreciate any help.

I highly recommend going back to the SharePoint 2010 site and going through all of the fundamentals. If yo allocate an hour a day you should be caught up in two weeks. This will save you hundreds of hours of fishing for solutions.
SharePoint is far too complex to be "guessed" at. You will never guess at its structure. Going through the basics from the ground up will burn the structure of its design into you head. You will then be able to find answers quickly because you
will know the documentation and how to ask the questions.
If you are only a basic Admin then your company should allow the vendor to either do the configurations or pay for you to be trained or compensate you to use your personal time for training. It would be a win for them.
There are many very good books on SharePoint and PowerShell. They are only good if you already have the basics of both. One that I acquired recently is quite good at you level of involvement as it is a cookbook of solutions in PowerShell for
normal configuration and administration items that goes beyond what is available on the web site or in the basic training.
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0470533331.html
I actually have the 2013 version but you should stick to the 2010 version until you are up to speed. I bought 2013 as a catch up. Read it over two long dinners of
Sushi and Sake.
The books run the gamut of SP from planning to admin. They are not technical manuals and not developer books. They are written for general administration, You will read through quickly and then refer back to chapters as needed. As
your SP site evolves the book will help you evolve with it.
Start by becoming extremely familiar with all of the resources on the SharePoint 2010 product site. Post future requests that are SharePoint related to the SP forums. They are very good with PowerShell at this time (three versions but they seem
to have caught up) - They know the product better than most here and are closer to the MS MVPs on SharePoint. If there is a pure PowerShell issue then the people in this forum can very helpful,
Here are all of the SharePoint forums:

Is there a way to search for a specific keyword within the sites to which the bookmarks are linked? I need to search all linked sites in the bookmark folder without having to open each page and "find" manually.

Currently, I must browse through 50 or so bookmarked pages to see if a specific topic is covered. I would like to be able to search all bookmarked pages at once for a specific keyword. For example, if I have 50 news sites bookmarked and I would like to see which pages have the word "tuna" in them, I would need to open each page individually and do a "find". If I could search all of those pages at once, then I would save an immense amount of time. I have looked on the add-ons and found nothing...

1. Create a smart album and in the drop down in the top right corner select file status
2. Check mark the file status box and select 'Offline'
Now you should have all your 'Offline' (Yellow Exclamation and/or Red Slash) files.
To reconnect..
1. Select the missing files.
2. Go to File and scroll to Manage Referenced Files
The dialog box will have one of the photos selected
3. Select the drive and folder that contains the referenced file and select it
4. Click 'Reconnect All'
This might not reconnect all of them, but the dialog box will still be open and you can reconnect the ones left.

All "Site Content and Structure" default views incorrectly showing "There are no items to show in this view"

Hi All,
On my SharePoint Online site (Office 365) all my “Site Content and Structure” default views are showing “There are no items to show in this view”. For example the “Checked out To Me” view shows “There are no items to show in this view” (shown in screenshot
below). I know this is incorrect and should show at least ten items that have been checked out to me for over two months. I am also a member of the Site Collection Administration and Owner groups.
What I am trying to do is view all the "Checked Out items" within a Site Collection including it's sub-sites.
Is there a feature that needs to be activated to get the correct information from the “Site Content and Structure” default views?
I hope you can help
Colin

Hi Colin,
As I understand, all “Site Content and Structure” default views are showing “There are no items to show in this view” in your SharePoint online site.
Check things below:
1. Go to site content and structure logs in site setting to check if there is correct information.
2. Create a new site collection to check if there are items in Site Content and Structure.
3. Switch another computer to check if it can work.
If the issue still exists, I recommend you to post it in the O365 forum.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
