Why search window so tiny?

I am using Reader9 with Acrobat to search the index of a collection of pdf's. The Search Results window
on my computer is about 3 inches high and is quite adequate. On a friends computer doing the same task, the window is only about one half inch tall which means the results can't be inspected to see if they are of interest.
I can't find a setting that would enlarge the window. The option to drag the sides or corners of the search panel
(not the search window) is useful in reducing, not enlarging the search window. What am I missing? It
doesn't seem logical that a half inch window would have been designed in on purpose.

Yes, I'll check the resolution. In the meantime, another clue - My computer using Acrobat Pro 9 and no reader has the large search results window. My friends computer
using Acrobat 7 and Reader 9 shows a different search panel, that is, the wording and spacing at the top is different and takes up half the panel., leaving
less space for the search results window. It appears that this different wording originates from Acrobat 7. Can anyone with Acrobat 7 comment on the
size of their search results window?

Why does "enclosing folder" not work from the SEARCH window?

I do a command+F search.
Command+2 to view as list rather than groups
and then sort by date modified.
When I find the file/folder I want I'd really like to do a command+[up arrow] which in the GO menu is a valid command.
Why does this work in finder windows but not in the search window?
I'm not using spotlight, just the good old command+F
This used to work in Sherlock 1 [using command+E] and when you opened the enclosing window, the file was already hi-lighted, faster to locate and saved mousing.

You'll note that in the Go menu that command is grayed out meaning it's not active in the search results display.
If you upgrad to Leopard then you can go to the Finder's View menu and select "Show Path Bar." The full path to any selected item in the Finder's window will be displayed in a path bar in the lower portion of the window. You can then double-click on any displayed folder to open a window on that folder.

Why is my playlist not updating as i type in the search window anymore?

why is my playlist not updating to reflect what i type on the search window anymore? just searches in the same window as you type i want it to reflect and show location on my plylist instead as it did before.

I have code within the FLA, but I am also using .as files (with classes and such). The code does not update when I try to use it, or will not run. Currently I am getting 4 errors, all of which were related to syntax and have been fixed. I know this because I hit the check mark button at the top of code field and it confirmed that all syntax is okay. I believe the error may be due to a lack of understanding on my part regarding the source path and document classes.
For example: I am using the code found here: http://www.learningactionscript3.com/download/45/ in the particle_system folder. My .as files and SWF are set up exactly the same as theirs, the example, but I can run theirs without error and mine with a perpetual 4 errors at runtime no matter how I fix it. I have made sure that the source path leads to the .as files being used ("Particle" and "ParticleDemo"), and confirmed that it should work by hitting the check mark next to the Document Class under Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings.
Edit: So in short, yes, I run the SWF and my code not update. If I close out of Flash and open it up again with the same SWF and .as files, then it works. However, this is an extremely inefficient thing to do. I am thinking that maybe downgrading down to CS5 may do the trick, but not sure if it's worth the time.

When I cut and paste a word form a pdf file into the search window I get wavy lines, why is this

I am editing a document and wish to look up words and other information. When I select and copy a word from my pdf document and paste it into firefox's search window, I do not get the word but wavy lines instead. How can I remedy this? Example: I am trying to look up Carl Jung and copied this name but when I try pasting it I get this wavy line: ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣

You’re omitting essential information here, namely how exactly do you paste into the message you’re composing in Mail when it crashes. Do you paste by ctrl-clicking (or right-clicking) and choosing Paste from the contextual menu maybe? Try doing Edit > Paste (⌘V) instead; I bet Mail won’t crash if you do that.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if you also have a plug-in or an input manager or a contextual menu item or something like that that has a bearing on this. In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/Contextual Menu Items/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/Contextual\ Menu\ Items/ /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/Contextual\ Menu\ Items/ ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Why does my search window say about:home. Is this mozilla?

When logging on, in search window, at the left, the word about:home appears before any search term is entered. Is this correct for firefox, or has something happened?

No search window in apple discussions anymore? Why?

For some reason there is no search window in apple discussions anymore. No matter which browser I open the only search window is up to the right of the "support" on the menu bar. I can no longer search apple discussions. Has something changed here?

If you do a search on these forums, you will find many threads that confirm that Apple has temporarily disabled the search function and they will try to put it back soon.
Trying to make a little joke there.

10.5 Finder search windows no longer find files!!!!

We have a new X Serve with OS 10.5 Server and Three Macs running OS 10.5 Family pack. The X Serve holds all of our work files. The other Macs are simply work stations. Up until recently we have been able to search the X Serve for files by typing in a 5 digit job number. (All of our jobs are saved in this manner) But starting last Thursday, the search windows return no results. We have double checked that the server is checked and that we're searching the right location. We can even go and manually retrieve the file IF we know what it's called and what folder it's in. Even when we are looking at the file, residing in the folder, typing the file's name in the search window results in "0 items". The file is there! I can can find it, why can't Leopard?

I would suggest that you post your question in the [Xserve forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=854].

There is a part about how to enable Spotlight searching on shares.
Spotlight provides more reliable results when remote users search a server volume with Spotlight searching enabled. Important: This change takes effect when you enable Spotlight searching on a sharepoint. In order to take advantage of this improvement on a sharepoint where you have already enabled Spotlight searching, disable Spotlight searching, save, re-enable Spotlight searching, and save again. The sharepoint will remain online during this process, but Spotlight searching will be unavailable for a short time while the index is rebuilt.

TOC/Search window not displayed in WebHelp Pro output

Robohelp10, WebHelp Pro -
I've got what I have to think is pretty fundamental question: When I generate my WebHelp Pro project, everything works perfectly until I move the contents of the output folder to a network drive for viewing. When the default topic opens, rather than displaying the TOC/Search window on the left, I'm getting a link that says "Show". Click that link, and the TOC opens right up.
I would like to have the TOC displayed on that initial view, without requiring users to click the "Show" link.
Again, when I view the results of the output on my local drive, the TOC is displayed. The obvious problem is, the generated help needs to reside on a network drive to be accessed by our users...
PS: The project is on my local drive, only the contents of the output folder are being moved to the network drive. Also, everything other than the TOC display seems to be working fine.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Larry, Rick has solved your conditional build issue. However, do check to make sure you have all the updates installed for RoboHelp 10.
WebHelp issues in RoboHelp versions 10 and 11
I notice you are using IE. Does the Show link occur with Chrome or Firefox as well?
Meanwhile, I'm still suspect that you are not opening the correct "default" start page file to launch the WebHelp and that's why you're getting that "Show" link. This is "tell-tale" that you are opening the default topic file instead of the default Start Page. By chance have you somehow named your "default topic", index.html? If so, this is not correct.

Where is Search window in Acrobat 8?

I just moved to Acrobat Pro 8 from 7 and I no longer see the docked search pane when I do a keyword search. I have read in the forums about a floating search window, but I don't see that either.
When I do a search, I click Find at the top. The only way to navigate search results is by clicking Next, Next , Next, Next, after each result is highlighted. In Acro 7 I could view all instances of a keyword in a search pane. What happened to this feature? It seemed to be a default on Acro 7; I did not have to configure Acro 7 to get this search pane to display.
Please advise how to get better search results in Acro 8.
Thanks

Thank you for the prompt answer. Glad that the feature is still there. I don't know why they decided to hide it.
Thanks!

How do I move the spotlight search window out of the freaking way in Yosemite??????????

The spotlight search window is Yosemite is obtrusive. How can I get the old spotlight behavior back in Yosemite? Spotlight windows used to be on the side and out of the way. Now spotlight is completely worthless, if it is going block what I am working on. I don't need a luanchpad app. OS X is a multitask environment and spotlight kills the ability to multitask. My desktop and laptop computers are not tablets, so why is spotlight limiting their abilities.

There are lots of useful things you can do with spotlight. My most common uses are: (a) an app launcher, and (b) a quick calculator, (c) a search tool. Each of you probably have others.
When I'm using it as an app launcher, the pop-up window in the middle of the screen is not an issue. I type a few keys and it's gone. For example, "CMD-Spacebar S A Return" launches safari.
When I'm using it as a calculator the pop-up window is often annoying because it obscures the data I want to do calculations on. I have to remember all the numbers I want to type in. Could I just use the calculator app? Of course, but this wasn't an issue previously.
When I'm using it as a search tool the pop-up window is usually not a problem but sometimes obscures information I want to see
Bottom line based on my use cases is that I prefer the pop-up out of the way in the corner.

Using CTRL-SHIFT-F for searches, can the cursor please be in the search window by default?

I regularly use CTRL-SHIFT-F to search particular folders (usually the Inbox) for a text string. When the search screen comes up, I sometimes start typing the text string, assuming that naturally the cursor's default position is in the search window. After all, that's the point, isn't it? But of course that's not true so I have to stop typing, use the mouse to move the cursor to where it belongs, and start typing again. This is only moderately annoying, but I have the feeling that it's only moderately difficult to fix, too.
Any chance of that happening?
Thanks in advance.

Change the command line /: to some paragraph format PH or line feed /.
/E       ELEMENT
PH       &IT_TEXTO-TDLINE&
        OR
/         &IT_TEXTO-TDLINE&
Also why are you passing the text elemnt to internal table first using READ_TEXT. It can be directly done with INCLUDE Command.

Why does windows have 64-bit iTunes but not mac?

I can't believe it. I searched the archives here and someone said because most people don't have 64-bit compatible machines. Then why does Windows get separate versions but not the native OS?
I'm running audio hardware optimized for 64-bit (drivers) but the sound quality of iTunes is worse in 64-bit than in 32-bit.
Anyone have any knowledge when 64-bit is going to be released?

iTunes is only 32 bit for Windows OS and Mac OS.
The 64bit version for Windows simply includes 64 bit drivers. The application itself is only 32 bit.

Adding Missing 'Size' Column in a spotlight search window

Hi All,
Is there a way to get the 'Size' column to appear in a spotlight search window?
Maybe a terminal hack or something?
Why didn't Steve include it?

Yes there is a hack to get it to appear, but it is buggy as all get out--which is undoubtedly why it didn't get turned on. Evidently finding out why it ain't working is not a priority, so it still hasn't been enabled in the OS updates (I would guess it is not likely it ever will be fixed). See this old MacOSXHints tip:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2009083113534843
For little more information, including some screen captures, see my article here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/mods.html
Its about half way down the page, in the section on "Brute Force Edit of the Plist"--did I mention it is really buggy?

HT6114 Can't save downloads to existing files?? In the "save as" box I use the little "search" window to locate where I want to put a new file but when found the location file does not operate. And dropdown menu says "save to online acct"

When I try to save an emailed-to-me document to an existing file on my hard drive by using the little "search" window the recipient file is inactive and does not open to recieve the document I want to save (nothing happens when I click on it and it's a subdued color).
If I click through my files manually by starting on the desktop and working my way to the location of the recipient file I can save.
This takes a lot of time and is DRIVING ME CRAZY!
Please tell me I've just missed something obvious that can be fixed in a jiffy!?

OMG!! It also happens when I try to open a file from inside a program like Adobe Reader. If I use the little corner search window all the files are inoperable.
