Un-indexed searches killing server

I am suspecting our ldap server is getting killed with un-indexed searches. our v240 is overloaded and many searches time out. Performance is terrible to say the least. I have learned through a support call that an entry of notes=U is a sign that a search was not indexed. Note that I have many of the following in the log file:
[23/May/2008:09:26:10 -0600] conn=3794491 op=26699 msgId=216518 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=14 etime=0 notes=U

and I check our indexes.. they all seem to be there. What am I missing? How do I go about finding what is not indexed..then indexing it?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Darren

I think it is related to (objectClass=*) which I believe is not indexed when part of sub searches. May I suggest that you write a test script to try the 2 filters that follow, and see what turns up in the log.
(&(&(&(displayName=*)(memberOfPIBook=e11a076dda8d9f))(|(objectClass=PITYPEPERSON)(objectClass=PITYPEGROUP)))(objectClass=*))
(&(&(displayName=*)(memberOfPIBook=e11a076dda8d9f))(|(objectClass=PITYPEPERSON)(objectClass=PITYPEGROUP)))Both should return the same details, as you are filtering on objectclasses that are either PITYPEPERSON or PITYPEGROUP.
Also check out [http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5277506&tstart=210|http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5277506&tstart=210] which has a similair issue, and seems to be related to having searches with multiple similar attributes in a filter.

Is a Full Text Index search case sensitive or not in SQL Server 2012?

I setup full text index on my contact table and am attempting to run a search on it using the following query:
SELECT *
FROM sysdba.Contact C
WHERE CONTAINS(C.FirstName, 'Test')
OR CONTAINS(C.LastName, 'Test')
The problem is it's clearly running a case sensitive search. I did a quick search to find out how to change it to be case in-sensitive and found two pages (both for SQL Server 2012) with conflicting answers:
1 - MSDN - "Query with Full-Text Search" - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142583(v=sql.110).aspx
Case sensitivity
Full-text search queries are case-insensitive. However, in Japanese, there are multiple phonetic orthographies in which the concept of orthographic normalization is akin to case insensitivity (for example, kana = insensitivity). This type of orthographic normalization
is not supported.
1 - TechNet - "Full-Text Search (SQL Server)" - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142571(v=sql.110).aspx
Full-text queries are
not case-sensitive. For example, searching for "Aluminum" or "aluminum" returns the same results.
Can someone please explain this? Is it possible to do it without it being case sensitive? If yes, how?
(Sorry, I couldn't make those links b/c TechNet hasn't verified my account)
Thank you for your time and help,
Hanan

Whats the collation setting for the columns? try using a case insensitive collation as below
SELECT *
FROM sysdba.Contact C
WHERE CONTAINS(C.FirstName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, 'Test')
OR CONTAINS(C.LastName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, 'Test')

Not Using Index on File Server When Accessing User Files Directly on Server

It appears to me that on a server with an indexed network share (Desktop Experience and Search Indexing roles/features installed), if you access the share directly on the server using its drive path, you can search the folders using the index, which
is much faster and supports finding words inside of the files in seconds). However, if you access the same shared folder via its network path from the server itself, the server ignores the index. I have this experience/problem across all shared folders on
the Windows 2012 R2 Server. Details and my most specific goal follows.
In addition to a laptop, I frequently work directly on a Windows Server 2012 R2 computer. We have Redirected Folders set up on DFS (for failover redundancy) so that my Documents folder is in:
\\network\redirections\user\documents. This all works fine on Windows 7 and 8 client computers connected to the network via Offline Files.
The problem is on the server itself. The server has Desktop Experience enabled and Windows Search is installed. If I navigate manually through the DFS root folder to my documents folder, I can search and it properly uses the index. This proves the location
is properly indexed. However, if I access the folders through the official "Documents" folder from the Folder Redirection (a network share pointing to the same server computer I'm working on), it performs an un-indexed search (slow and ignores file
contents, but does find files eventually if the search term is in their filename). Is there a way to force the server to use the indexed search on the Redirected Folders (my Documents folder in particular) when working on that server when logged in locally
on that server?
I suspect a workaround would be to go into the Registry and manually change the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders to point to the local DFS folder instead of the network share name, but at least one problem
with this is then if I save files with links to other files (e.g., a linked Excel table in a PowerPoint, a mail merge to Access database in Word, etc.) on the server computer, those links will point to d:\DFSroot\... (a physical drive on the computer) instead
of \\network\redirections\user\... (a universally accessible network path) and so none of the other computers will be able to find the linked files, defeating one of the
major benefits of using Redirected Folders.
I can't believe that I need to choose between indexed searching and proper path names in saved files. Surely there is a way to use an indexed search on the server itself?
If you need any more info to help me troubleshoot, please let me know.
Thanks for any help,
Colin

Hi Colin,
It seems that we can not use indexed search on DFS shares. Windows Search works well when users directly access the server. That is, the server is not made available through Distributed File System (DFS).

Outlook 2013 Search on Server 2008 R2 - non-functional

The instant search on our Outlook 2013 is constantly turning up the "We couldn't find what you were looking for" message. It is installed on Server 2008 R2 with Citrix providing desktops to our users. The PST files are being stored with
the rest of the user profile on our domain controller (separate machine). For testing purposes I had tried moving my PST to the C: drive. Have tried rebuilding the index and still not working. One thing I did notice was that if I uninstalled windows search
from server manager and installed the indexing service, search functioned properly (this is not ideal), however, every time I would launch outlook I would get a message that it was installing 64-bit components. How can I get search functioning for our users?

I thought I'd post what worked for me with this problem. Your post is old, but I figure others may benefit from this solution.
I found an old Microsoft Support post about "Search" and Outlook being installed properly on a Terminal Server. I followed the procedure and it worked for me on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Outlook 2013. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222303)
The following assumes you've enabled the Windows Search feature via the Server Manager.
Install Office and then you must run Outlook as an administrator first. Once you've done that the search tool will properly run and index everything for others on the terminal server.
If you've already installed Office and users have already been using Outlook then you need to repair your Office installation to get Outlook's search working properly. To fix this simply login as the administrator, run the Office repair tool,
then run Outlook as the administrator before any of your users on that terminal server do.
That's it. Once you do that you'll find that the Outlook search begins to index everything properly. You may want to rebuild the indexes by using the rebuild commanded in the Control Panel under Indexing Options.
This worked for me perfectly on three Windows 2012 R2 terminal servers.

Enabling Spotlight search for server clients?

I have a mac mini server running OSX Mavericks, and 6 client mac also running Mavericks.
The server provides access to the main storage raid for our design dept, and all the designers need to be able to search for files on this server, but Spotlight never seems to work when trying to search the server.
No of us are It types, so the few possible solutions i have found seem to be aimed at advanced unix programmers, and as a result assume that a single line of code is enough of a hint for us to sort out the problem!
Pleae can someone explain how i can set up the server to index the raid, and allow the users to perform searches?
thanks
adam

It used to be that you could manually enable and disable spotlight indexing for network shares on a Mac server. With Server.app and therefore your Macvericks server this is automatically enabled. The process would be along the following lines.
You have a drive which has permissions enabled, external drives may default to having this turned off you can if needed enable it by doing a 'Get Info' on the external drive, and at the bottom will be an option 'Ignore ownership on this volume' this needs to be turned off i.e. unticked.
You then tell Server.app to 'share' the volume or a folder within the volume.
Server.app will automatically enable both AFP and SMB sharing for this new share, you can modify this if you wish.
Server.app will also automatically add an ACL (Access Control List) record containing the special server account 'Spotlight' so it can access every single file and folder within the share, this lets the server spotlight indexing software be able to access and therefore index all those files.
Client Macs can then search the share, it should only return results of files that that user has permission to access.
There is nothing really to configure. I have seen problems where the server will periodically decide to re-index the share again and while it is doing this searching does not work because the server is busy rebuilding the index. You can tell if this is happening by clicking on the Spotlight menu on the server, if it says it is re-indexing then this is what is happening.

Spotlight Indexing on Windows server? vs Xserve.

Hello,
I need some help defending the purchase of an Apple Xserve running 10.5 server and 10.5 clients. We need to upgrade from 10.3 server to 10.5 to take advantage of Spotlight Indexing and fast searches. The Enterprise I.T. folks are saying we can use a Windows file server to do the same thing for less $$$.
1) does Spotlight indexing work on Macintosh file services for windows.
2) Is the indexing done workstation side or server side, what are the advantages of doing the indexing on the server side with Spotlight server (services) on the OSX server.
I need help----their closing in on me....I'm out numbered in the thousands.
Thanks,
Rick

You might try editing your registry so that *.cfm, *.cfc, and other ColdFusion related files are treated as text files by the Windows search feature. See link below.

CHM buttons are not localized in a French project (shows English Contents, Index, Search, Print, Hide buttons)

I opened an old WinHelp project into my new RoboHelp 7. When
I generate the CHM, even with the Project Settings in RoboHelp set
to French and running in a French Windows operating system (MS
Windows XP Pro 2002 SP 2), the CHM output is still in English. The
buttons display in English (Contents, Index, Search, Print, Hide
buttons). The title bar of the CHM also says "HTML
Help" even though the project title in the Project
Settings is "Aide en ligne...".
My Windows Regional Settings through the Control Panel -
Regional Options tab is set French (France). On the Languages tab I
under Text Services and Input Languages, Details button, I selected
French (France) French. On the Advanced tab I selected French. Then
I rebooted.
On the language bar on my Task pane, I selected FR. The CHM
still displays in English.
Please help! I have to produce 4 CHMS in languages other than
English today.
Thanks!

GinaL, would you be able to give us an update? Did the CHM
files look ok on a PC with a true French OS installed?
To avoid having to rewrite everything, I've written the
following info/instructions for my team -- though I'm not yet sure
they're 100% correct:
After I reported this issue to Adobe, they worked on the
problem for several days. They even sent me a new
HtmSingleSourceHtmlHelp.dll file that was supposed to solve the
problem. But it didn't work correctly. No matter what contortions
we put ourselves through, we couldn't get both of these items
correct in the CHM file at the same time, namely:
Index compiled in correct alphabetical order accdg to the
language of the help project.
Correctly translated help title showing in the caption,
regardless of the user's Windows regional settings. (For example,
we wanted "FORMS-Hilfe zu FORMS 5-3" to appear as the caption of
the German version of FORMS help, even if our regional settings
were set to English.)
I think we'd all agree that the index has to be in
alphabetical order. So from what I've seen, this is what we have to
do when compiling a non-English version of help using RH7:
1. Set up the project with the foreign name.
2. Set the language in the project settings. And in the
Project Settings dialog, click Advanced and check out the LNG File
tab to make sure it's using a translated version.
3. Ensure that the Window Caption setting is correct in each
window included in the project. (On RoboHelp's Project tab, open
the Windows folder, double-click each window in turn, and check the
settings.)
4. Set the Language setting in the HHP file to Language=[hex
value for that language]. I found a bunch of them listed on this
web page. Someone else might be able to find a better source:
https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/scoop/es_scoop_60/library/i18n/locale/nls/i18n_nls_lcid_tools.e
5. Change your Windows regional settings to the same language
as the help project. (Reboot if prompted.)
6. Recommended, for safety's sake: Delete the CPD file.
7. Open the project and compile using RH7.
8. Check the index's sort order -- is it in alphabetical
order according to the language of the project?
9. Check the help caption -- make sure it's not "HTML Help".
Note: Any customized buttons in your CHM should appear
correctly translated, but other buttons (Contents, Index, Search)
still appear in English -- at least they do on my PC, even though I
did step 2 above. We need to check whether those buttons appear
correctly when the PC is actually running a true foreign version of
Windows, and not just with temporarily adjusted Windows settings.
OR -- is anyone else able to get these to appear translated in the
CHM file?
Does anyone have anything to add? Other solutions? Easier
procedures? Better results to report?
Thank you
Eileen

Diff between index , search help , match code

wht is Diff between index , search help , match code

Hi,
There is no difference between Search helps and match code objects.
Search helps are the Advanced concept of Match codes.
SAP Converted match codes to Search helps.
Index :
An Index is a copy of database table having few numbers of fields. This copy is always in sorted form. As we know, Sorted data would always have a speed access from a database table. Hence, we use an index for the table while reading the database records. Index also contains a pointer pointing towards actual database table so that it can access fields that are not contained in the Index

Full text index searching in large document sets

I have been placed in charge of a digital PDF document library for a small biotech company. The library consists of about 1000 100-300 page .pdf documents which have been scanned and OCRed. In order to facilitate the full text searching of the documents a PDX catalog has been created. In theory, the PDX catalog would seem to be an excellent means of quickly accessing the data, but due the sheer volume of text that is contained in the documents this does not seem to be the case.
Any given search may take hours to complete and many computers in the department have been known to lock up due to the load of running a search. Obviously, this has made using the PDX search more of a hassle than it is worth.
I do not know exactly how the index searches work, but from what I gather they somehow search within each document in turn and return to you all the instances in all the documents that contain a certain term. If this is the case, than it would make sense that the searches would take a long time because the search would have to search each of the 1000 documents in sequence.
The thing is: we really do not need to know the context and placement of every instance that a word appears in a document. All we need to know is IF it appears, and perhaps how many times. Is there a way to make an index that will simply give us this information without having to search the actual document?
Heres an example of what I am trying to achieve:
Note: I know almost nothing about full text indexes so please forgive me if any of this sounds insane
Lets say we have a document called "word count.pdf" which contained the following text:
"blah blah yadda yadda text Recombinant human insulin more text still texting and so on"
And another called "word count 2.pdf" with the following text
"Recombinant human insulin and la la la dee do"
The indexes for these files could be condensed and stored like this:
"Word count.pdf"
Blah 2
yadda 2
recombinant 1
human 1
insulin 1
text 2
texting 1
and 1
so 1
on 1
"Word count 2.pdf"
recombinant 1
human 1
insulin 1
and 1
la 3
dee 1
do 1
In this example, if we were to run a search on "text" the index would return "word count.pdf, 3 instances (2 of text and 1 of texting" whereas if we were to search for "recombinant" it would return both "word count.pdf, 1 instance" and "word count 2.pdf, 1 instance".
This way, I could quickly weed out all documents that do not have the word that I am looking for and get an idea about which documents should be searched more in depth without scanning every single instance of the term in every document.
Is there any way to accomplish something similar to this using acrobat? (Or anything else, for that matter)
My specifications: (similar to specs of all computers searching the pdx):
Windows XP,
intel celeron CPU 2.6GHz, 1G of ram
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Look at dTSearch. We used the publisher version for a CD with large files sets (with hundreds of pages per file/thousands of PDF pages of multicolumn index data - text heavy), and it does a great job. The desktop version would provide the type of searching you are looking for. Indexing is also very fast. Our customer complained, like yourself, about the speed of searches in Acrobat 6 and higher - most of the delay is due to the population of the results window.

Index search freezes complete application

We are using the JavaHelp for the context-sensitive online help functionality in an application. A very strange error occurred:
The index search works fine for many search strings, but for many other search string the complete application freezes. One of these strings is "ab" and strings starting with "ab". This is very annoying, because many german words start with the letter combination "ab". There are other strings which do not work, f.e. strings starting with "orts" and those which do work sometimes, like "ort".
When I am writing, "the application freezes", I mean that you can only stop it via the Windows Task Manager. Since you are loosing all data which had not been safed until searching the help index, the behaviour is not tolerable for our application.
We are working with the de_DE.UTF-8 German locale.
Looking at the threads, we noticed, that one thread was running the isStringInString method of class javax.help.HelpUtilities endlessly.
I found a bug report (6195811 "jdshelp freeze at search with l10n string") which seems to be related to this problem and in which is mentioned the following:
"On de_DE.UTF-8 German locale, the following strings cause freeze.
- <compose> + 'a' + ''' + b + <compose> + 'b' + '''"
This indicates that other people, too, must have the problem.
Now my questions:
Do you have any ideas for a workaround?
Do you know, if it is possible to disable the index search? And if it is possible: How can it be done?
By the way, does anyone know, when JavaHelp 2.0_03 will be published? The quoted bug is mentioned to be fixed in 2.0_03.
Thank you very much!
beap

Hi beap,
we are facing a similar problem. I filed bug report 6296005.
Do you use JRE 1.5? Our workaround is to use JRE 1.4.2, the bug does not occur with any JRE < 1.5.
When we detect that the user is running JRE 1.5, we just hide the Index tab. In our implementation of BasicHelpUI we do something like this:
     public void addNavigator(JHelpNavigator nav) {
        if(nav instanceof JHelpIndexNavigator) {
            final String java_version = System.getProperty("java.version");
            if (java_version.startsWith("1.5")){
                return;
        super.addNavigator(nav);
}It's an ugly hack but better than a customer who loses important data because our application freezes.
I will provide the help set to Sun so that they can further investigate and hopefully fix this bug.

Contents/Index/Search/Glossary toolbar

The Contents/Index/Search/Glossary toolbar in my WebHelp
project only displays the text for one tab at a time.
For example, by default the project opens with the Contents
tab displayed. You can see the word "Contents" with the blue
background. However, for the rest of the tabs, you can only see the
icons on a white background. If you click on an icon, for example,
the Index icon, then the word "Index" and blue background display.
I want all the tabs to display with their words and on a blue
background at the same time. Can any of you help me? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
If you are using a skin, it is as simple as double clicking
the skin and setting the colours and text to what you want.
As described, there will no difference between the tab with
focus and the other tabs. Some small difference does assist
usability.
