Unable to Search Within Preview

I purchased the PDF version of "Simply Rails 2" by Patrick Lenz sometime back. While the book 's content is great I have found recently that I cannot seem to search its text within Preview (i.e. no results/pages are ever found).
Only when I search via Spotlight and repeat the search in the subsequently opened PDF document am I able to successfully search.
Was wondering if this is something others had come across? If so, is there a fix apart from my Spotlight workaround?
Thanks

Unable to search within .java files on windows xp

windows Search can't seem to find things in my .java files (like grep) on my Windows XP machine.
Here's what I do: In the windows explorer, I select a folder which has some .java files beneath it, and I select Search off the folder's popup menu. That brings up a dialog that lets me name to file to search for, and also a word or phrase in the file. I enter filename of "*.java" and it finds all the *.java files OK, but if I also enter a value in the "word or phrase in the file" field and do a search, then it always says "0 files found" (I enter a word that I know is in some of the java files). Search finds words OK in .html or .txt files, but not in .java files. Weird.
Is there some setting in the windows registry that affects how searches are done in .java files?

Unable to search for first record using the Preview tree

Post Author: TheBig1980s
CA Forum: General
Hello:
Users are unable to search for the first record in the Preview tab's tree. The reason for this is because the first record is within the first page header of the report. My guess is that, by design, Crystal takes the end user to whatever the first instance of the record iseven if that first record is in a page header. That's not "good". I want the user to be taken to the first record within the details of the reportnot within the page header.
I have suppressed the page header to not print on the first record by using OnFirstRecord. But, I still get the same issue where end users cannot select the first record in the tree without being taken to the page header. Very strange.
Can anybody think of any other ideas?
Thanks!

Thank you Dave Merchant and try67 for your responses. As per my previous post, I contacted the company re the catalogue and they have responded favourably. I'll include their response because it gives the reason for the search failure as document compression which you might find interesting. I'll await their new catalogue and see if they have fixed the problem.
Company response:
Thank you very much for your input. And yes, you are correct, the compression we used for the current catalogue's PDF format does strip out text included in the catalogue. We used the compression settings we did with the intention of minimising download time, however I take your point about including text for search purposes (which I also utilise when I'm scanning through PDFs).
We will actually be posting out our new catalogue next week and we'll release the new PDF version on the website at the same time. I've asked our graphic designer to ensure that the PDF we use for the new catalogue includes searchable text.

Why is Preview unable to search some pdfs that Adobe Reader has no problem searching?

In the last couple months, I've noticed that Preview is unable to search some (but not all) pdfs. These are clearly digitized journal articles, recently published. Since this didn't make sense to me, I opened the documents with Adobe Reader and found they were searchable using Adobe.
What is going on? I'd prefer to use Preview, since I'd always preferred its search function and like its annotation tools (specifically, the box outline tool I use to identify chunks of text). Should I just give up on Preview and switch to Adobe?

I can search that document in both Safari and Preview.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items.

When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items. I have already cleared off and made enough disc space. Unsure what the issue could be.

Logout from your iTunes store account on that device and then log back in to see if that helps

Unable to search for words in a pdf document

I am using Adobe Reader Ver 10.1.1 (All updates)
I have a pdf document in which I am unable to search for words. No words in the document are found even though they do exist. If I copy a word from within the document and paste it into the search criteria then instead of getting the word that I copied, I get substitute characters and it can in fact find these characters as the word being searched.
The document is a catalog and can be downloaded from the following URL.
http://www.carbatec.com.au/getcatalogue?zenid=d1cuvbat0ois0g37r0r33vnah1
I will appreciate any help as to why I cannot search for words in the document.

Unable to search for photos in Spotlight.

Some weeks ago, I inadvertently dragged my 'Pictures' folder into the desktop, and managed to replace it, but after that, (and after temporarily renaming it 'Images') I can no longer search for photos in Spotlight.
Spotlight Preferences now recognises 'Images' and I'm unable to change it back to 'Pictures'.
Any advice or solution would be greatly appreciated.

Spotlight Preferences now recognises 'Images' and I'm unable to change it back to 'Pictures'.
As I said before there is no "photo" file type, just a bunch of other kinds (tiff, jpeg, GIF, and maybe 20 other possible extensions) that are used for photos. I don't think Spotlight uses the term "Pictures", just "images". I have a "Pictures" folder but in Spotlight I just see "Images" in the search results, and "Images" is what is uses in the preferences.
this doesn't explain why I'm unable to search for photo files using Spotlight.
Make sure that the area containing your photos is not excluded from search by the privacy feature in Spotlight's preferences.
Spotlight searches for text information. For example, I have lots of photos, but spotlight only find a single one since I don't use the word "photo" in any of my file names or folder names. The one file it finds has "Created by Adobe Photoshop" in the metadata - Spotlight is keying in on the word "photo". If I type in the word "Picture" it finds the Pictures folder, but doesn't list the contents since none of those have the word "Picture" in their names or text within the file.
What exact search term are you entering into Spotlight? Are you sure that a file exists with that term in its name, or perhaps in text included within the file?

Client unable to search partial names after internal web F5 VIP placed

I am running a dual pool set up, all 2013 EE on 2012 R2.
So, the other day I finally got access to a hardware load balancing solution. Not wanting a full conversion and to keep SIP flowing through DNS, I opted for balancing the internal web services. There is a separate administrator that handles F5;
thus, I am F5 knowledge deficient.
After having the VIP set up, I placed it's FQDN in the Override FQDN field within the Lync Topology Builder, published the topology and re-ran set up on each server. Keep in mind, that for some reason the builder already had the Lync pool FQDN in the
External Web Services FQDN.
Having enabled this new logical route for Lync web services, I have run into a problem, users are unable to search partial names but inputting a full SIP address yields the result. All clients are forced to do Web Search Only and the GALInitialDownloadDelay
across the board is 0. HLB is set to allow 80, 8080, 443, and 4443. I know that 8080 and 4443 are for external VIPs but it's better to ask for more and need less than ask for less and need more.
I have a few areas I think I goofed on but I am not able to change "willy nilly."
-Do I need to reissue the server certificates to include the FQDN of the VIP that points to the F5? I was noticing a certificate error on my web checks after the change.
-Do I need to reroute the exchange connection, somehow, to point to the VIP instead of the pool address?
-Do I need to remove my internal pool name from the External Web Services FQDN, or is that normal? Ideally I believe I would just point EWSFQDN to my Reverse Proxy internal interface VIP, that would be set up soon-ish.
Clarification, links to articles, or personal experience is appreciated. I've read through most (if not all Schertz's articles), technet (maybe sentence I missed), the F5 documentation, and NextHop.
TL;DR - When I put an F5 VIP FQDN into the Internal Web Services FQDN, Lync clients can't search and websites receive certificate errors. I believe it is certificate related but am unsure.
Thank you.

If you changed the internal override address from the poolname.domain.com to internalweb.doamin.com (just an example) you would need to ensure that your certificate that is used on your front-end servers includes internalweb.domain.com. As you noted, you
will see a certificate error. For address book services, it all happens under the hood, so you won't get any prompts of errors on searching, it will simply fail in the background.
In terms of your other question. By default, topology builder will put your pool name into the external name field. You should change that to whatever name you are using to publish your Lync environment to the internet. You shouldn't use
the same name as your pool. Often times in Lync documentation you will find lyncrp.domain.com or lws.domain.com as the name.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Richard

Thanks and Regards,

this is no adobe specific error, it's from your application. You've some entries in your customizing so that specific texts are expected by the form.
go to the context, search your text there and check wheter the checkbox "no error when text is missing" is activated or not...
if the textbox is not activated but the text is missing --> thats the behaviour you have

Size of resulting file not displayed within Preview

Under Snow Leopard, when you were saving a file from within Preview, you were shown the size of the resultant file, and the effect on this size as you changed the quality. Under OS X 7, Preview, you can still change the quality of the file that you are saving, but Preview does not appear to display the size of the resultant file. Can this be turned back on, and if so, how?

Hi
When you embed the .swf inside a html page just specify the new object width and height (preferably keep aspect ratio). If your symbol/object/sprite inside the the movie are all vector, you should not suffer any quality loss.
If your movie has raster image (e.g. jpg), you'll need to open the original .fla and use flash to resize the stage/canvas and everything inside it.
If you don't have the .fla source, try open your .swf file using swf decompiler software (like sothink) and convert it back to .fla, then use flash to resize it.
Thanks

User using outlook 2010 unable to search older items lets say a year old.

User is unable to search an emails a year old in outlook. OWA is working fine able to search and find all the emails .
Tried rebuilding the outlook profile and indexing but still unable to find any pointers.
Thanks

Already tried rebuilding index and profile... Do you think the below will work any idea ? i checked the below entry is not listed under below location so if i will create that and set it to 0 will that work ?
1)       Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard, and type “REGEDIT”. This will open the Windows Registry Editor.
2)       Browse to the following: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search"
3)       You will manually have to reset the value of “Prevent Indexing Outlook” to “0” (without the quotes). To do this, right click on the “Prevent Indexing Outlook” key,
select “Modify…”, then change the value data to “0”.
4) Close the registry editor.

Unable to search icloud inbox in Outlook 2013, Windows 8.1

HI,
I hope someone can help, I've been struggling with this for a few weeks.
I largely use my iPad and iPhone for email but have recently been more reliant on my Windows laptop as I have need to create items in office and it's simply easier on the large screen.
Outlook and iCloud integration has however been a constant source of frustration. I have almost got it, including the work around to subscribe to the sent items folder and create a rule.
The one thing now causing me frustration is that I am unable to search the iCloud inbox. When I type a search string it simply sits in 'searching' even though the message is there. This is strange as I can search all other iCloud folders and even right clicking on a message and selecting find messages in conversation works.
I have tries rebuilding the index.
As a side note, as it might be related, every time I open Outlook I receive the message 'For best performance, iCloud should not be set as the default data file. You can change this setting in Windows Control Panel under Mail, Data Files.' As I'm not sure what this means I've not done this.
I'm sure I can't be the only person with this frustration and I really hope someone has a neat solution.
Thanks for reading and hope to get a response soon.

I have had the same problem.
I have deleted the icloud account in Outlook and reinstalled it again by "icloud system control".
Now I am able to access my icloud calender, etc. again.
Hope this helps, best, Peter.

How can I adjust the search bar to search within a specific website?

I used to use Chrome (still miss it a little bit), but Firefox has continually grown on me.
One feature I do miss from Chrome being able to search within a specific website from the search bar. For example, I was able to type in amazon.com, then pressing tab, and type in a specific search term, such as "The Terminator." When I pressed enter after typing "The Terminator," Chrome would automatically take me to Amazon's search results for "The Terminator."
And it wouldn't just be Amazon either; pretty much any site that had a searchable database, Chrome would be capable of utilizing this feature. Is there any way to replicate that in Firefox?

hello crachor, probably keyword search can offer you a similar functionality in firefox: [[How to search IMDB, Wikipedia and more from the address bar]]

Parameter to search within a field

Post Author: hd1
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,
I have a report that is connected to SQL database. I was wondering if there was a way to create a parameter to search within a specific field in my database table. The scenario is we have Paralegals and Attorneys who have created a huge Word document that has a table in it. They have 8 fields in this table and one field in particular is their summary field. This field can go up to over 1000 characters. So, we decided to create a SQL database and have them import their data from a Data Access Page using Microsoft Access, then we run a Crystal Report for them. So far it looks good and it's working great. We can import there current data without any problems. The problem that I have run into is the way they search for specific entries. I was wondering if I could create a parameter in the report to search within the summary field. Again these summary fields can be from one sentance to multiple paragraphs. I would like to be able to get this going for them, it will make things a lot easier on them. An example would be. We have multiple entries in this field.
This is a test entry done 11/27/07
This is a test entry done 12/3/07
This is a test import using DTS done 12/3/07.
Now it would be nice if the users could put in the word 'DTS' in the parameter and it would only show entries containing DTS. Do you think this is possible.
I ran accross a posting by Skodidine and his was something like this.
{table.field} LIKE & "*"
But that was relating to a wild card search. I tried just using {table.field} LIKE but I didn't get any results. This does sound possible though.

So far this seems to give me some results.
IF {?Summary} = "<none>" THEN TRUE ELSE ({?Summary}) IN LowerCase ({LOEB_Docs.Summary})
I don't know though, If someone has a more reliable and better one could you let me know? I did have to add some words in my parameter, by the looks of it, I will have to do that from now on. So if someone has something better to where I do not have to enter keywords for them, I would appreciate it. This database is going to continue to grow, it's a reference for them so the keywords could be endless.

When I upgraded my iMac to Lion I can no longer connect the iPad 2 to WiFi. It gives me a message unable to search for WiFi. Before the upgrade to Lion it worked fine. What gives?

When I upgraded my iMac to Lion I can no longer connect the iPad 2 to WiFi. It gives me a message unable to search for WiFi. Before the upgrade to Lion it worked fine. What gives?

Could there be a setting I need to adjust in the iPad2? When I try to turn on WiFi and enter the name of the WiFi that I have established, including the security type and the password, I get the message "Could not scan for wireless networks." Is there a setting in iCloud or other location that needs to be changed?
