Topics shown in Search results that shouldn't show

When I preview the compiled help file and do a search for a
word it's displaying topics that I don't want to show. These topics
are not in the TOC and are not Indexed.
I inherited our co's Tech Writer position so I'm learning
about RH by trial and error. I'm using RH7. The help files were
created in RH 5 (or earlier) but had to install RH7 on Vista.
While working on an existing RH Help file I have a few topics
that were mistakes, from me experimenting, or are the old one's
that I'm updating and changing. In either case I thought I could
leave them hidden inside just as a safety measure or to refer back
to. I assumed if they weren't put into TOC or Indexed than they
shouldn't show to the outside world. When I search on a word that's
either in the topic title or in the text those topics are listed.
Can I prevent them from showing in Search? They don't show in
TOC and they don't show in the Index. Is my only option to delete
them? I've looked all through the Topic properties and don't find a
solution.
Thanks
Jim

Hi Jim. If you want to exclude topics or even parts of topics
from Search, it takes a bit more than excluding them from the TOC
and Index. Take a look at Build Tags. They are a simple way to
identify topics or content within topics to be excluded from your
build, or conversely, to be included as needed if you compile
multiple "flavors" of your Help. Build tags are used in conjunction
with a build statement you create as you generate your output. If
you can't get going from the Help info on build tags, holler
back.

Search Results That Open in a New Window

I am going to implement the google search function on my
website, but I want modify it. The part I want to modify is when
the visitor hits enter, search, or whatever, the search results
openup in a new window or tab. I don't want it to open up in the
same window the website is presented in.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

check google to see if they have instructions. You should let
the users decide how they want to open the page though. when I
search I usually ctrl click to open the link in new tab

Google search results acting are not showing up right after FF update

So after I updated FF from 12 to 13 my Google search results have been weird whether I search from the homepage, tool bar or from Google.com. For example if I were to search " Avatar: The Last Airbender wiki" you would expect the Wikipedia page for the show to be the first result but this is what ends up showing up:
[http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8020/firefoxproblem2.jpg Image of search results]
But if I were to search in Private Browsing mode this is what I get:
[http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/9794/firefoxproblem.jpg Private browsing search]
Same search yet it yields to different results and I tried it in IE and Chrome and the search is working just fine in both of those as well. The problem seems to only be when I search for something in FF normally.
If anyone can shed some light into why this is happening I would be grateful, since I prefer FF to anything else.

you could try to [[Clear the cache - Delete temporary Internet files to fix common website issues|clear the cache]] & [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer|cookies from google.com]] and reload the page.

Images FileTypes added but not shown in search results

Hallo,
I have added the Filetypes, "jpg", "png" and "gif" through the central administration. I have then made an IISRESET, restart the search service and run a full crawl but the filetypes are not crawled.
The architecture is, 2 WFE, 2 APP Server (one for the Search) and 2 DB Servers.
Previously I had done the exact same thing in the dev environment, which consists of 1 APP server and 1 DB Server, and the images where crawled and shown without a problem.
Am I missing something?
Any help is welcome!
Thanx in advance,
Ioannis

Hi John,
To troubleshoot this issue
Get the URL of any of document (ie. JPG file
Navigate to the Search service application and search that URL in the crawl logs check if you able to find that record if yes check the error associated with it and share with us.
If the URL not found go to there must be URL exclusion rule applied in the crawl rules. You need to check by going to the SharePoint search application from the CA->Manage service application and click to the search service application. Search Application
page you will see the crawl rule page click and enter the url and check if this matched for any exclusion rule.
After done with the above analysis please let me know

Facebook: Clicking on search results that appear as I type redirects to a page with the error message: "Please enter a query"

If I use IE Tab Plus to switch rendering engines to IE the search box works just fine.

Nevermind...just had to do a full reinstall. That means going to firefox folder on my computer, running helper.exe from the uninstall folder, and unchecking the box that lets you save your themes, addons, bookmarks, etc. The reinstalled version works perfectly. Now I just have to find all those addons again...

How can I get rid of a search engine that doesn't show up in my list of search engines?

I installed a toolbar from Inboxdollars and since then every time I search for something it uses as my search engine something associated wit yahoo called serp.freecause.com and then I get the "problem loading page" message because it can't find the server at that address. I've uninstalled the toolbar and even took yahoo off my list of search engines. But nothing gets rid of it. Any suggestions?

I ran a complete scan with Norton Antivirus. Cleaned the Registry, history, temporary files and did a Virus Scan. It actually worked. I did not install anything to get this, but used an unprotected Wireless network and I think that/s how I picked it up.

Different Color Text of Topic Titles by Child Project in Search Results List

Does anyone know how I can change the text color to indicate the source project of a topic as displayed in the Search Results list?
I have followed Peter Grainge's directions for setting up a parent project that has several child projects, one of which contains outdated version-specific information. Thanks, Peter!
I would like it to be obvious to the user before they open a topic from the Search Results list that it is from the old legacy project.
I have found where the font is set, (thanks to the RoboWizard), but I am not a Javascript programmer and am uncertain how to code the "if document is from this project, then use this font" logic.
I would also like to put a "caption" below the "Search Results per page" line to explain the purpose of the color change.
I am using RoboHelp HTML 8.0.2. I generate WebHelp output which is then FTP'd to our server.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Leon,
     Let me make sure that I understand your suggestion - I should change the title of each topic in the "legacy" knowledge base so that they each include a short identifier, such as "First Topic - Legacy"? If so, I suppose that would work, but I'd have to change 1,000 topics. The topic titles would no longer match the filenames (I'm trying to freeze changes to the old knowledge base to which there are many links from our user forum), which I suppose is not a big concern at this point. I'll run some tests.
     That has also raised another question in my mind, but I'll post that separately. It's about the way Robohelp selects the text that is shown immediately after the title of the topic in the Search Results list.
     Thanks for taking the time to help!

How to display the search result without reloading the whole page

HI,
I have separate fragments for Search Box to enter keyword and Search Result to display the result. Also I have different sections within the page to put these fragments. So how could I display the results without reloading the whole page.
Also if I have next button in my search result area, how could I display the search results in next page without reloading all other sections present in our page. Please let me know if any service or idoc function present such that result could be shown in search result section without reloading whole page.
Please let me know how to restrict page reload for every action within a page.
Thanks,
Ramesh

This is default behaviour of the template of your space. You can create a new page template and than you can create a region for the search results.
Or you can create a custom taskflow were you use the webcenter taskflows to search for the space.
Take a look at this white paper:
Extending webcenter spaces: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/pdf/owcs_r11_extend_spaces_wp.pdf
and this one:

Different sequence of search results in different environments with same set of documents

I am using Sharepoint 2013 Foundation version.
I have set up 2 environments (say environment A and environment B) with the same Window baseline and Sharepoint server farm setup. The similar set of documents have been uploaded to both environments. With input of exactly the same search string at the search
field and enter button pressed, the sequences of entries shown on search result page are different in these 2 environments.
In particular, there is a document 'Monthly Newsletter.pdf' uploaded in both environments. When I type 'Monthly Newsletter' in search field and press enter, this document appears as the first entry in the search result in environment A, but this same document
appears as the 8th entry in the search result in environment B.
May I know the reason? Thanks a lot for advice!

There are a lot of factors that go into computing the "relevance" of any one document. One factor is "closeness". So one question would be how identical are the two environments? Same number of site collections? Are the
documents at the same depth? (sites -> subsites -> libraries -> folders) Are the libraries of the same type, using the same content types and the same metadata> In both cases are you searching from
the same site and are the documents at the same depth?
Ranking is also impacted by past searches. The more people who have clicked through to the document, the higher it will be ranked in the future.
If the two environments are identical, and are only being used for testing, Reset the Indexes and do a new Full Crawl and then test.

SEARCH results - shows file name. Can I change this?

I am using TCS2 in Windows XP.
In Robohelp when you search the online help, it brings back the search results but they are displayed under the filename heading. Can I change that? I don't necessarily want my filename displayed to users... maybe the Chapter name?
TIA
-Adriana

Hi--
I have no solution yet but am having very much the same problem, and would like to get in on this conversation while I continue experimenting. I'm working TCS2 (Frame 9 and Robo 8), linking the Frame book to Robo to create CSH. I'm a long-time Framer but a newbie to Robo and TCS2.
As far as I can tell from reading through the thread, I've got some kind of variation going: some of my CSH Search results show the heading, and some show the filename. I haven't yet discovered what is the difference in the Frame file, although I believe that's where I'll find it. It's consistent from search to search. (That is, if it a topic shows up in Search results as the filename once, it does so consistently. Ditto others showing up as the heading.)
In addition to hereby signaling moral support (!) and an interest in a solution, I'd like to provide my settings here and see how yours compare.
The marker I created to manage output CSH filenames is "FileName." I'm working with engineers who are not native English speakers and have never implemented CSH. For the 30 or so (out of 75) topics that actually are going to be linked from the application, I created FileName marker text that starts with "LinkTo_<menupath>." (Example: "LinkTo_WebSecurity_ServerSecurityGroups_Adding.") The idea is to help them see what to link up where. (It also made editing map IDs faster: I just select and automap any topic name starting with LinkTo_.)
So I'm getting Search results that look like this:
Things to know about xyz
text text text...
LinkTo_Statistics_Events
text text text...
My "File > Project Settings > Edit conversion settings... > Other" settings are:
Context Sensitive Help Marker: blank
Topic Name Pattern: grayed out but is "(Default)"
Topic Name Marker: FileName
Not sure this is optimum. (As I said, a Robo newbie.) Also, my chapter titles and H1 thru H3 are set up to paginate, although I realized later that filling Topic Name Marker field disables pagination.
Thanks, will keep working on it --
Anne

Missing search results

I have a 2013 farm. A particular library has 12 files with ABCD in the file names, so that they are called ABCD 1.pdf, ABCD 2.pdf, etc. If I search for ABCD, 5 or 6 of the files are displayed in the search results. Let's say ABCD 7.pdf is not listed in the
results. If I then search for ABCD 7, it finds the file. This is the same for other files not listed in the first search which included no number. Why wouldn't all 12 of the files be included the results?
I have already cleared the index and rerun a full scan multiple times. I also cleared the configuration cache as per a TechNet article. I've gone through all of the errors and haven't found any references to any of these particular files, plus they do show
up when I specify the number, so it must be indexed.

Hi hova,
In SharePoint 2013, duplicates are not shown by default and the view duplicates link needs to be activated on the search results web part for users to be able to find duplicates.
You can activate the view duplicates link as Search Center->editing results.aspx page->editing Search Result web part->Settings->Show View Duplicates link.
Here is a similar post for you to take a look at:

RH10: Snippets from resource manager show in search results

I'm new to using the resource manager, so there's a good chance I've done something stupid here... but...
I have 2 projects (I am the only tech writer, so running off one PC, no version control). I want to share snippets between the projects, so I'm using the resource manager to keep them synched up. Both are compiled as CHMs.
When I search, I'm getting search results that appear to be the snippets in the results. When you double click them, they don't open.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing.
Has anyone else seen this before? I'm using RH10.

I have set up a test and cannot get snippets to show in search results.
I am a little puzzled by the fact that you say they appear to be snippets, thus casting some doubt.
Do you have snippets with those names and do the snippets contain the term being searched.
Do you have topics with those names?
Does it happen in a new project?
Try creating a new SSL, not a duplicate.

Error when opening a pdf by clicking a search result. Link works fine when opened any other way. IE issue only.

The issue:
www.norwich.gov.uk
When you carry out a search for "co-operative bank" and click the first result (which is a pdf), Adobe Reader is launched and the user sees this error: "There was an error opening this document, The filename, directory name or volume label syntax
is incorrect"
However, if you do any of these...
right-click the link and choose to open it in a new tab
right-click the link, copy the shortcut, paste it into the address bar and hit go
open the file directly from the library
open the file by clicking on a hyperlink
... you are prompted to Open or Save the file. On choosing 'Open' the file is opened in the browser window with no problems. It is only when clicking on the link in the search results that the issue arises. The issue only occurs with IE.
Current settings:
Client integration is disabled
Browser file handling is set to permissive
Default open behaviour for browser-enabled documents is set to open in the browser
DOCICON.xml is configured to show <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" EditText="Adobe Acrobat" OpenControl=""/>
Disabling the Adobe Acrobat SharePoint Opendocuments add-on 'fixes' the issue, in that the user no longer sees the error, but instead sees the prompt. However, this doesn't help us as the site is public facing asn we cant control user's add-ons.
Hope someone can help.

I tried this from my laptop with IE8 and it worked fine.
I trust that answers your question...
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.

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,
Ajay
