Why does a search not find the symbol ~, Why does a search not find the symbol ~

I thought that having a common name like Jim would make it harder to search for recent comments.  So I added ~ after my name to refine the search.  Did not work.  Searching for Jim~ turns up every Jim in the universe.  Any ideas?  Flawed logic?  Conspiracy theories?  Dislike for names not begining with X?  Boolean logic is not one of the classes I took in high school.

In the past, it helped to have an additional unique search term to limit the number of common search results.

There is an advanced search function that allows you to limit the search by userid.  It's a bit tricky to get the user id to stick.  click on more options. click on select people.

  • Searching Photos is not finding text in the description.  Does it work for anyone else?

    I am attempting to live with the forced upgrade to Photos from iPhoto.
    Generally, the features are an improvement.  But there are some things that just are not working.
    I had an iPhoto library with excess of 32000 photos, in 3200 events.
    Now events are non existent.  I cannot create new ones... just choose from preexisting ones.
    But I digress.  My photos did have searchable text associated with them.  Either in the title (from the event name), in the description, or from keywords.
    As things are now, only keywords seem to be searchable. (via the Search block in the upper right)
    Is anyone else having this problem?  Why?
    I don't want to have to make a "Smart Album" every time I need to find something.

    I can enter text and it finds words in Titles, Filenames and Descriptions for me.
    How long since you updated? Perhaps it's not finished indexing?

  • The gps does not find satellites​. Why?

    I have a 8900 and my GPS has always worked perfectly.
    But now finds no satellites. Do not pick up satellites in outdoor or indoor.
    Do not know if it was trying to install a program for geocaching (LUCIFY).
    This program gave error certeficates.
    A red cross appears in some certeficados like these: DOD CLASS 3 CA ... / ORC ECA1, ECA ROOT CA and TC TrustCenter CLASS and Verisign / RSA secure server root.
    These are some certeficados that are red with a cross.
    I've done wipe, I changed the OS and still not pick up satellites. Why?

    Are you doing the Satellite refresh in this manner, as outlined below?
    AND, have you remove the Lucify application and tried the refresh?
    On all model BlackBerrys, first make certain that you in an area of good signal coverage AND outside with a clear view of the sky in an open area of no tall buildings.
    For GSM network devices, do this:
    Click Options > Advanced > GPS > Menu > Refresh GPS.
    Give it up to 10 minutes to refresh, and try 2-3 times in a row.
    For the 9800 model:
    1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
    2. Click Device > Location Settings.
    3. Press the Menu key > Refresh GPS.

  • Why does my LabVIEW Run-time server return the message "source does not exist Last UI message: Start Execution"?

    I am trying to build a stand-alone application on a target pc for which I have built a LabVIEW server that TestStand can use as an adapter.
    In order to do this, I searched this site and found the topic: "How do I build and Use the LabVIEW Operator Interface as a LabVIEW ActiveX Run-time server?" After following the procedure to the letter, I ran the testexec.exe file as instructed and loaded my sequence file. As soon as I try to "Single Pass" or "Test UUT" I get an error which says "source does not existLast UI message: Start Execution". This error appears when running the testexec.exe file on the target pc or the development pc.
    I have found though, th
    at if I open the Operator interface through the Start: Programs>National Instruments>TestStand>Operator Interfaces>LabVIEW then the sequence file runs without these errors.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Hello Robroy,
    The KB you mentioned explaines how to build the LV Operator Interface (OI). So, I assumed you built the LV OI and also configured the LV adapter to use the TestStandGUILVRTS server without problems.
    The error you are getting may be due to missing VIs. In other words, the LabVIEW OI may not be finding all the VIs your sequence is calling.
    In order to deploy sequences that call VIs, you need to first run Tools >> Assemble VIs for Runtime Distribution. This tool gets all the VIs your sequence needs and saves in a separate directory.
    For more information, you may check the TestStand User Manual chapter 17, it describes how to distribute TestStand and sequences.

  • When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but when it's back on it searches and finds signal only recently doing this and because it's searching for signal battery not lasting very long please help

    When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but as soon as its on again it searches and finds signal easily but because of this not getting calls or text msges and because it's searching for signal all the time battery not lasting

    Here are some observations and a suggestion.
    1)  I mentioned before, that the number of views of this discussion forum is fast approaching 100,000.  I suppose relative to all iPhones sold that is not a great percentage, but 100,000 still sounds pretty impressive to me.  Consider also that many people probably have this same Sim problem and are not viewing this discussion forum because thay do not know it exists.  How many people are REALLY experiencing this problem?  Who knows.  But I suspect it is more that 100,000.
    2)  To the best of my knowledge, Apple does not consult these forums as a guide to awareness of product performance.  It may be company policy, but most of the time when I speak to an Apple employee they seem remarkably unaware of the "Top Stories" in the Apple Discussion Forum.  This, despite the fact that my personal experience with customer service at Apple is excellent.  So, as much as we of this discussion forum are confident SOMEONE important at Apple is reading all our posts and taking them to heart...I am not so sure.
    3)  I have been told over and over that the best way to gain Apple's attention regarding a problem is to post a comment on their Feedback Site.  One comment about a problem is pretty worthless.  100,000 comments on the same issue, I'm guessing, will really get their attention.
    4)  Some folks have mentioned a recall to address this problem.  Although such a thing is always a possibility, I don't see it happening.  Why?  When the brakes on a Toyota don't work, or that Toyata starts to accelerate without driver intention...well, that involves human life and the stakes are quite high.  For many reasons you would see the automotive industry eventually be forced into a recall program under such a situation.  But, a phone APPEARS to not nearly be such a life and death device.  Or is it?  My daughter's iPhone 4S developed a "SIM FAILURE" on the same day her car broke down in the middle of the very rural area we live at around 10:00 pm.  She is 17 years old and was coming home from high school play practice.  You can imagine the anxiety I and her mother felt when she did not arrive home on time.  She eventually walked about a quarter mile to a house of a stranger and had to ask to use their phone to call us.  Now, I am not saying that strangers where I live are not to be trusted.  But, in addition to being worried out of my mind, I was not happy that an inoperative iPhone 4S caused my daughter to be put in this situation.  My biggest concern now is...when will my daughter's iPhone become inoperative again due to SIM FAILURE?
    5)  The more folks in this discussion forum who post a comment about this issue in Apple's feedback site the more pressing this issue is going to be perceived by Apple.  So, I like others, encourage all of you to do so.  If this seems like a lot of effort, I offer you these few sentences below that you could just copy and paste into the feedback site.
    The link to feedback site is:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Feel free to use copy/amend/whatever the following as you wish:
    Dear Apple,
    I wish to register a strong concern about my iPhone's unpredictable inoperability due to failures somehow associated with it's SIM technology.  For me, I do not consider this just a significant lack of convenience, but a significant safety issue.  Should I need my phone in an emergency situation where it is experiencing  a SIM FAILURE, I believe the iPhone will have put me at risk.  I would ask you to please give fixing this problem your greatest priority and effort.
    Sincerely, XXXX

  • The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

    Hello,
    You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
    However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy.  There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
    I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player?  Not  knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
    And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage

    The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
    This is not fun.

    Make sure that <b>[] "Match case"</b> on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

    Hello Donald.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Why does the "set automatically" button keep turning off in the my date & time area of my settings? When it is off I can not use facetime or imessages.keep during off on my iPad?

    I wasn't able to use FaceTime or iMessages and found out it was because the "set auomatically" button was off under date &amp; time in the settings area.  Why does tha button turn off?

    I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.
