Trouble searching for topics

Firefox changed its behaviour suddenly . As soon as I type 1st letter in search bar , the bar jumps to top of page . After I click on search nothing happens . In the bar on top Google is in black but rest is grey .I found that if I then click on search in the RH top google search bar , it starts searching but I then have to click on " go back to previous page " to see the sites for my search . Ofcourse I no longer have the suggested sites feature .

Hi KJ,
in the search in the upper right hand corner of the window.
The Pages window? I can't see a search box.
Do you mean Spotlight? (The magnifying glass icon?)
System Preferences > Personal > Spotlight > Search Results.
Make sure there is a tick next to Documents.
Spotlight will find file names (partial or complete match) or a word or phrase within files.
Regards,
Ian

Trouble searching for files in Pages

For some reason, when I go to open a file in Pages '09, some of them will not show up if I type in the file name in the search in the upper right hand corner of the window. I know for 100% certainty I have the file name correct - to make sure it is a search problem and not my memory having issues I would search for a file and while looking at the file name, type it in... and I would get 0 search results. I clicked for it to search by file name. The files it does not seem to be able to recognize are file names with Japanese as part of the file name that were saved using my Mac (MacBook Pro - OS X 10.6.8). Files with Japanese in the file name saved on windows computers and transfered via my flashdrive have no issues being found. I can open the files, so that is not the problem. And, if I scroll through all the files I can find it. The problem is that sometimes I don't remember the full file name - especially which word I put first - so having to scroll through all my files to find the one I want is rather annoying. I would prefer to be able to search for any of my Pages files. Is there anyway to fix this? Or is the Pages search just not made to be compatible with any language other than English? (I am not sure if it is relavant, but if I search for the files via Spotlight, I can find them using the English or Japanese portion of the file name. Even though Finder does not allow me to use the Japanese portion of the file name in a search, the files do show up if I use the English portion of the file name.)
Any help of why this problem exists and if there is any way to fix would be very much appreciated.

Having trouble searching for keywords

I am just starting to use aperture for all of my photos. one of the cool things I see using it is to be able to attach 'keywords' to photos. I'm guessing that the only reason to put a keyword as part of a photo is so you can search for it. I have added keywords to some photos, and searched for that keyword in the search bar of aperture, but the photo does not come up. I am wondering why this is- is this not the intended use, or...
Thanks!

Hmm, I'm not sure. When you added the keywords, how did you separate them? Commas? If you use a space between them they become one big keyword, but still searchable. Are you searching by putting the keyword in the search field or by using the Filter?
Not that it should make a difference, it worked both ways for me...
Can you post a screen shot of your search?

Having trouble searching for music on Ovi Player

Hi,
Is anyone else having this issue? Since the Ovi Player was 'Upgraded' yesterday, whenever I search an artist's name in the search field at the top of the home page, the player thinks for a few seconds, then returns to the same home page. The only artists catalogue I can view are the ones already on the home page, or under the various playlists. I also found that the Sign In button didn't work and I had to sign in via the Music Account at the bottom of the screen.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help. I don't see "Server Share" anywhere on Easy Find. Am I missing something? What's frustrating is, I was able to find something out of an excel file made yesterday. The search paramater was something that was one character short of the entire content of a cell. When I search for something that would be contained in another, longer (sentence-sized) cell, it does not find it. I have:
Search For: File Contents
Operator: Any word
Comparison: Ignore Case
Include: Netiher are checked
"Scan all files" checked in the settings thing.
I just tried Find Any File, and I don't see any option that allows me to search within a file? Looks like I can only search names of files along with date created, etc.

Trouble searching in Time Machine

I'm having trouble searching for a file in Time Machine.
In Mac Help, it says:
In the Finder window that Time Machine opens over the star field, type in the search field in the upper-right corner.
There is no search field in the upper-right corner.
Then it says,
If you’re using Spotlight to search for an item and you can’t find it, try clicking the Time Machine icon in the Dock to start Time Machine directly from your Spotlight search. Spotlight continues searching for the item in your backups
When I do this, a strange thing happens: My frontmost Spotlight search results window, which previously showed 24 items, loses the search field and then shows "More than 10,000 items." I can't adjust the search term because there IS no search term field. It disappears.

You can turn Spotlight off entirely. This will affect your ability to search within most of Apple’s applications, such as Mail and Finder, as they rely upon Spotlight.
Open 'Terminal' in Utilities and copy the following:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
Hit return key and supply admin password when asked
Hit return key again

Searching for a term using the Search tab in HTML Help doesn't find all relevant topics.

I'm using the Search tab in the HTML Help window to search for a few words. But those words are not being located within the topics. For example, one of the words for which I am searching is Australian. I can find the topic that contains that word using the Contents tab. But the Search tab doesn't find it. I have even tried copying the word from that topic into the Search box but it is not found.
Is there a known bug in HTML Help search capabilities?

Is this a stand alone CHM file or is it merged? If it is merged, does the word appear in the search in the CHM containing the topic is searched? I assume you've checked that your Stop List doesn't contain the word being searched?

When searching for a topic, I get the results from firefox, but when I click on the particular topic, I get redirected to some other website.

When I click on a topic that I have searched for, I get redirected to some other website.

Newbie having trouble with searching for apps.

I'm an experienced an experienced Windows user, finding myself surprisingly lost on my new iPad and iTunes.
(Surpising because, although I'm used to dealing with oddball and sometimes frustrating things on Windows, I had heard the Mac and iPad interface fast simpler to navigate and more frustration free.)
So please excuse what may seem like dumb newbie questions about what should be, and probably are to you experienced iTunes and iPad users, simple things:
For starters:
I'm search for a few apps in the app store that I know for sure exist and know the exact names:
One is the
iPad User Guide
The other is
the AOPA flight planner app.
I know it exists because it's installed on my wife's iPad. Can't remember how I found it on her iPad.
When I use the apps store search box (whether I do it in the app store in the iPad or in iTunes on my Windows 7 computer)
I keep failing to find them.
I've tried putting
                       iPad user guide
                        AOPA flight planner
or even just                AOPA
in the search box in both environments and clicking the search (magnifying glass) icon.
I either get a mess of apps with AOPA in the name (but not the one I want)
or a message saying the equivalent of "sorry... not found."
What the heck am I doing wrong?
All help appreciated.
Alex

You are not doing anything wrong. Those apps just do not appear to be available any more.
They will always be available to your wife since she downloaded them and they are backed up in her iTunes Library (assuming she synced it with iTunes since downloading them) but it would appear that anyone else trying to find them will be unsuccessful.
These are not dumb questions nor are they trivial concerns. The whole digital distribution method has many advantages, but you just ran into one of its drawbacks.
"Ownership" of software was always a controversial subject, but the way things are going the argument will soon be a moot point... unfortunately.

I have the new iphone 4S (this is my first iphone) I am having trouble connecting to my bluetooth device - the iphone is searching for the device but won't recognize it (my bluetooth device is a jawbone)

My iphone 4s does not recognize my bluetooth device - I don't know why
My bluetooth device is a jawbone and I have turned it on and sitting next to my iphone which is searching for bluetooth devices but will not recognize it
Not sure why

dugasgre wrote:
Thanks for the advice
I just tried turning the jawbone off and then turning it on and shaking it 4 times but the iphone 4s still won't recognize my jawbone
Do I need to unpair the jawbone from my blackberry first? And if so, how do I do that?
so after double shaking, is the ring flashing red +white? If it is not, then it is not in pairing mode. (I'm assuming you have the ERA) And you see nothing on the iphone? Nothing is found? Or is the device found, but not paired.
try placing the jawbone in pairing mode first, and then turn off/on the iphone blue tooth.
I don't think you need to unpair with the BB. But you can try. go to BB settings and there should be a way to forget the device.

Iphone 5s - Calls Breaking Up - Searching for Network

Hello.
I recently started using my new Iphone 5s and I have a big problem.
Every call I get or make, the call suddenly breaks up during the first minute. My network reception bar drops to 1 bar, then says "searching..." briefly, and then it comes back. But the call is already gone. There are no problems when I remake the call. But I get this problem with every single call that I make. I've never had a problem with my Iphone 4 for 2 years, so I don't think it's about my carrier. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. My phone keeps "Searching..." for network, and if I don't fix it, it can go on like that for days. I tried several solutions, Reset Network Settings, Reset All Settings, hard reset, and finally I restored my iphone to factory settings then re installed ios 8.1.3, which I had trouble doing because my phone took 4 days to finally have a successful restore. I am not sure if this is about updating to ios 8.1.3, but all of this happened to my iphone 5s a few days after updating. Anyway, after my phone had miraculously went thru with the restore, my phone was back to the way it was, but after 2 days, it went back to searching for network again whenever I get to an area with poor signal. I put phone in Airplane mode for about 10-20 mins, then turn off Airplane mode to check if signal is back. If it still doesnt, I reset network settings, then airplane mode again. I have not yet used reset all settings since my iPhone restore. I tried to google and see if this really is an ios problem or just my case, then I came across your question. The latest fix I did just this morning is I plugged my phone to my wall charger and tried to dial a number and pressing the green call button several times until the signal went back. That was by far the simplest solution I have discovered, but I still can't say if that IS the solution because it was just my first time to do it. I advise you not to restore your phone because in my case, mine took 4 days to until i was able to use my phone again since restoring wasn't working. You don't want to end up with a dead brick phone. With mine, I just kept trying until it went thru and I don't think I will be doing the restore all over again because of what happened. I hope this is just a problem with ios update and that apple will soon find a permanent fix to this.

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
I already tried the following scenarios:
1- Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.
Link to script:

Here is a link to the content of my WindowUpdate.log file:

Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
Might I suggest the following:
Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
Cumulative Security Update.
Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

HT1237 Searching for an EFI Firmware update to enable Lion Internet Recovery on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)

Hi All,
My Mid-2010 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch started having random kernel panics lately (more than 1 month of random kernel panics now), usually associated with request such as "open new tab in Safari" etc.
Since I installed 2x4GB RAM modules from Crucial when I bought my MBP (they are +- 2 years old now) and also exchanged my DVD-drive for an extra SSD that now runs the system (fully updated 10.7.4) I have a feeling that those kernel panics might be HW related.
I wanted to run Apple Hardware Test but found out that it is no longer supported on Lion. Since I don't have any optical drive to install AHT from (also I don't have the CDs with me atm), I found out that I can install an EFI Firmware update that enables internet-based (?) AHT.
At http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904# , the link from MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) links to MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.6 which is for Early 2010 models only and doesn't allow me to run the installation process. I'm looking for an EFI update to enable Apple Hardware Test on my Mid-2010 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch.
Is there an update that can do this? Is there a wrong hyperlink on Apple page or am I searching for a wrong update?
Also, even though this should probably be in a separate topic, can anyone please point me to the right direction for a good Apple Kernel Panic how-to-read-those topic?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hey Cris from London,
I would try out the recommended steps in the following link:

Let us know if any of the steps within resolved the issue.

How do I search for a particular workspace?

I have access to more than 200 workspaces and always run into trouble looking for a specific one. Is there a Search option to look for a particular workspace by name? The only search I see on the top right hand corner is for "searching directory" - which seem to be looking for a person or mailing group, but I do not see an option to search workspaces.
Since I could not search for a workspace, I have gone through the entire list of all workspaces that I have access to. What i noticed is that it does not list some of the workspaces that I am access to via a mailing list group. However when I directly access the workspaces via the URL, I am able to access it without any problem.

Hi,
There is no option to search workspaces unfortunately - a filter would have been nice but it is not there in any web client. WebDAV and FTPS clients will give you an alphabetic list and cen be serached that way and the list in the BOLAdmin tool - All My Workspace tab - will show all workspaces, with an alphabetic sort.
Depending on the client there may be some missing Workspaces but if you apply the correct fiklters all you have access t will be visible.

How do I search for a phrase in a published Help?

This is probably a very basic question, but I've been unable
to search for a phrase in a published Help. For instance, if I want
to search for the phrase:
subject information, I've tried "subject information",
(subject information), subject NEAR information. I've received the
same list of "hits" for all of these, but when I search for the
phrase in any of the topics, it doesn't seem to exist.
I am using Adobe RoboHelp HTML 6 and use the WebHelp layout.
Thanks for any help - this is making me (and the users)
pretty crazy.

Basically you have two options.
1] Use ZoomSearch as described on my site. It is low cost and
gives much improved search options.
2] Upgrade to RH8 as that introduced phrase searching in
webhelp.
