Why is the search on bottom?

Maybe this got covered in the superlong thread I don't have time to read, but I have two comments on searching.
- Why are posts in an individual thread listed so that multiple posts for the same thread are listed for one search?
- Why is the 'Search' box for the forum (where you enter text to search for) on the bottom of the page, where you have to scroll down to find it? That's really counterintuitive until you've learned to remember that it's at the bottom and that you need to scroll down to search for something. My guess is that the majority of the users who get on the forum immediately want to search for something, not read the latest random posts (although I'm sure there are users who do that also, just to say that the two requirements aren't mutually exclusive when it comes to placement of the search box).

M3nth,
Seems like we're all asking the same question
As tst says... try not to use the one at the bottom.. it's ... hummm..
It's behavior is unpredictable...
As for the multiple listing I'll have to read Molly's response on this (I asked the same question is the "Xtreme thread")

=== EDIT ===
Hi Molly,
I read your answer on the bottom search engine..
That's what I thought it did... but it didn't work for me.. I tried to use it to find some of my own posts within LV.. and it didn't find anything.
The search was : serial
I did this while reading a LV question of the subject.
I shall experiment with the search engine again and report my findings.

Why is the search field so small?

This may not be a big issue, but I just wonder why is the search field on iTunes for Windows so extremely small that you can barely type the name of the artist and if the song or album is too long, it starts scrolling. There's an awful lot of space to the left of it, why not make that search field set as auto width so it goes almost all the way to the right edge of the middle display?

Many applications do a "fast save". This includes Acrobat and Word for example. The quick save writes new stuff to the end of the file, making the file larger every time even if you delete things. Some apps use "Save as" to go through and do a slower save of only the things still used. I don;t actually know if InDesign works this way but it's quite likely. Fast save also has the advantage that it's much less likely to corrupt the file you are overwriting.

Why is the search so poor?

Why is the search so poor? The first page had nothing useful when I typed:
owner change in finder
Google would do much better.
Xserve Other OS

No - I just expected it to be as good as most other searches, ie first return full hits and then partial hits as per Google and many others. I don't want to restrict it to a phrase but I expect the phrase hits to come first followed by hits for all words and then hits for less words - it is 5 years out of date.

Why does the top and bottom of my clips get cut off?

Hi, I'm new to iMovie and I've encountered an annoying problem. I imported all my movie files from my flash drive without any issues. I dragged a clip from the section with all the clips to the play reel. I previewed the clip, both normal screen and full screen, and both times the top and bottom of the clip was cut off. I tried it again with different clips but the same thing kept happening? Can anyone tell me why this happens because my head keeps getting cut off and I don't like it one bit.

First, you can go into File/Project Preferences and adjust the aspect ratio of your project to either widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), to match your footage.
You can combine footage that is widescreen and standard in the same project. In this case, you have to tell imovie how to handle the clips that do not fit the overall project aspect ratio. To do this, you can select a clip in your project and use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. If you select FIT, it will preserve the whole frame by inserting black bars (letterboxing). If you select CROP it will cut off the top and bottom. You can select the default for this in Project Properties.

When there are several tabs open, why does the search always take place on the 2nd tab (the first tab seems never to change from the home page) despite my selecting a different tab in which to do a google search?

I have Mozilla Firefox 10.0. When I open it, it correctly opens on the homepage in the first tab. Once I have another, or several, tabs open, no matter which tab is active, any google search I do immediately takes place in tab No 2. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I go to e.g. tab 4 to do a search (because I wish to compare with the webpage open in tab 2), yet it always now does the search in tab 2. This is very irritating. There must be some setting that has gone pear-shaped, but where/which? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Why do the Search Engine options keep changing back?

Hi, I have a large collection of search engines, which I keep well organized with the addon Organize Search Engines.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/organize-search-engines/
I needed to make changes to many of the search engines I've added to make them work. i.e. I had to go to Manage Search Engines, right-click on the relevant engine and choose properties to change its options (just right-clicking "Add To Search Bar" on a search box won't work on a lot of web sites unless you modify the options/settings).
Anyway, the problem seems to be that after a few firefox restarts, the modified search engines seem to revert to their default values. Confusingly, it doesn't happen to all of them. Just ones I've recently added.
I've toggled the Automatically Update Search Engines in Firefox's Advanced options or the Show Search suggestions in Manage Search Engines.
I've tried re-installing firefox and putting in the new profile and re-installing the addons I use individually (although I had to copy over the extensions folder to my new profile). It didn't seem to help.
Help a brother out.

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING:Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Why does the search dialog not show up for inputListOfValues?

I am using JDEVADF_11.1.1.5.0_GENERIC_110409.0025.6013
I have an LOV defined that works correctly in the Application Module Tester but does not appear to work correctly within a column of a table.
I have defined the inputListOfValues as follows within a column of a table
<af:inputListOfValues id="valueOneProductIntegrationIdId"
searchDesc="Search Product"
popupTitle="Search and Select: Product"
model="#{row.bindings.ValueOneProductIntegrationId.listOfValuesModel}"
simple="true">
The control shows up with the search icon in the appropriate column of the table when I add a new row, but when I click on the the search icon, it does not bring up the Search and Select panel. It looks like it is trying to do something, but it is just ends up redrawing table.
Any clue about how I might figure out what is going on here or what I am missing?
Thanks, -Klaus

try this and see what causes this issue..edit Project Properties>Run/Debug/Profile>Edit>Launch Settings
set this param for Java Options and run

Why is the search on my mail app not working?

I just bought the new iPod touch 5th generation. I synced it with my iTunes, transferring all the apps I had on my old 3rd generation iPod touch. Everything works fine, except the search on my mail app. When I type in some keyword to search, and click the "all" label, it won't actually search all my email content, only the subjects and senders. Any way to fix this?

No. From the Users Guide it only searchs mail for:
Mail—To, From, and Subject fields of all accounts (the text of messages isn’t searched)

Why is the search bar blue and the text not showing up?

This started today but I had this problem in the past prior to the last Firefox update. Whenever I click on the search bar, it highlights with a blue background and none of the text shows. So if I make a mistake, I cannot see it.
Firefox did this the time you updated and it crashed every time I did anything. Your last update seems to have solved the chrashing, but the blue bar with NO text is back.

I read that somewhere yesterday so I went into Constant Guard and turned it off for 15 minutes. The highlighted blue box went away. I turned it off and problem is gone.

Why is the search page so horrible

Just got fios switched from the x1 dvr and I'm finding out that the fios menu doesn't have a lot of options. On the x1 you can search and it'll show you the show on the different days of the week go to fios search and it say on TV and there's only 16 shows.am I doing something wrong here? It's making it very hard for me to find the TV I want to record

I know of now company offering On-demand rentals(or free) to record. They all stream the programming.
Some Purchases you can download, although I don't think to your DVR.

In the search feature of the phone, does not work correctly

In the search feature of the phone, when typing a first name or last name, why does the search start with the letter A? For example, I type ME and the first name that pops up is Cecil. Cecil is in my contact list but not what I am searching for.

I believe when using the search feature, it searches more fields than just the first and last name. See if Cecil has something in his contact card that contains MA, such as an address, company name, etc. Otherwise, I generally do not find any problems using search.

Why are my search results for mail incomplete?

Why is it that when I search for emails that I KNOW are in my inbox I cannot find them? This never used to be a problem until I upgraded to Lion. My inbox has close to 7000 emails so it is not practical to manually search through it for an email that is several months old. Why are the search results incomplete? I find this extremely frustrating.

Had the same problem- called applecare, a mail supervisor walked me through the easy fix-
(I am no tech so this is in simple terms)
(Assuming you just upgraded to lion) - the "library" was not "properly rebuilt" - the emails are there but are not fully queriable which is why the "recent" or "post upgrade" emails search properly while the "older" or "pre upgrade" ones don't- the library index needs to be rebuilt (which is much easier than it sounds)
Steps
1- Quit Email (fully)
2- open finder, open "Go"
    Hold the "Option" key on your keyboard - this will expand the menu to show the "Library"
3- Select the "Library" option, (you can now release the "Option" key).
4- Open the following folders (Mail,   V2   , Maildata)
5- Within the Maildata folder there are (3) files which need to be deleted (Trashcan them)
     (envelopeindex, envelopeindex-shm, envelopeindex-wal)
6- Reopen Mail / (This will automatically reimport these files, takes some time depending on how many emails)
7- Quit mail and Reopen (has to reload for some reason)
8- The mail program will do some automatic sycronizing (You will see some the files "Reappear / fill in" while Syncronizing
9- about 100 (blank or garage or remant emails) loaded to the top of my inbox during this process but everything else was normal-
Everything now works great
