Your Flash Forum's "Search" function appears to be broken

Searching for "8kHz" yielded two results but doesn't show the search result titles or the links to get to the post, though it does show links to the forum itself and the user who posted the result.
Same results no matter what I searched for, though if I initiate the search initially from the top level Forum, the search results work as expected.

This is as much your forum as anyone else who visits - being user-to-user forums, Adobe does not monitor these forums. If you have a comment or issue with the way the forum works (or fails to), you should post in the Forum Comments forum, which is dedicated to dealing with issues about the forums.
That forum does get some Adobe attention, but Adobe doesn't maintain these forums... they rent them, and apparently went for the lower cost options as far as repairs/maintenance goes (little if any).

Don't expect much to come from there for the issue you are bringing up... you won't be the first.

What's your opinion on the search function on the NI website?

Hi all NI web goers:
I give 1.5 of 5 stars to NI's search function. Most of the times I got very frustrated when searhing NI's website. It returns a lot of entries for my search, but either none of them are relevant, or there are about 10 duplicate links to the same page, and multiply that by the # of unique links you get, well, you get the idea.
So, what's your opinion on the search function offered by the NI website?

Not sure what this has to do with LabVIEW. I suspect the Feedback on NI Discussion Forums might be as good as place as any. This has been brought up before:

Forum-specific search functions don't work

The search function on this site doesn't seem to work properly. If I try to do a search on a specific forum via the 'Only this forum" function on the right side of the page (which doesn't seem to appear on every forum) or by selecting 'More options' from the search page, I get 0 results. Example - If I search the 'Photoshop' forums specifically, and enter 'Photoshop' into the search criteria, there are no results. I get the same results entering 'Acrobat' into the Acrobat forum, and on any other forum I have tried. It doesn't matter what I type into the criteria, I get 0 results. This happens both on a mac running Safari, as well as on my PC running IE.

It's not a problem on your system - it's well known here.
There's an almost perpetual "we're working to try to fix the search" response from the admins. It's clear they're knocking themselves out to try to make this forum better, but the technical challenges against them just must be horrendous.

Hiding the advanced search functionality

Hello Colleagues
I need to hide the Help link appearing on the masthead. Also, need to remove the search/advanced search functionality appearing on the portal page.
Could you please guide me throught the steps to achieve this ?
Thanks

HI ANKUR,
If you want to do that for the out of the box framework page.
1. Goto Cotent Admin -> PCD
2. navigate to Content provided by SAP -> eND USER CONTENT -> STANDARD PORTAL USERS -> DEFAULT FRAMEWORK PAGE
3. OPEN DEFAULT FRAMEWORK PAGE --> TOOL AREA
4. DISABLE SEARCH OPTION IN THE PROPERTIES

Search functionality of forum

Dear Colleagues,
At the outset, my wishes to all SAP community members for an eventful new year 2009.
As on date our forum has become a huge repository of subject material thanks to the contributions made by all of us.I would like to bring to the notice of all community forum members the functionality of "Search forum". This is a very helpful functionality which lets user search the threads of functionality with respect to the keywords provided.
It is my request to all forum users particularly our new friends to please use this functionality before posting their queries. Many times you might get your answer already in the forum repository and this can bring a save in your wait time. I had been a regular user of this functionality and believe me it is my personal experience that I have found roughly answers to my queries/doubts 40% of times.
Hope we all will be exploring this functionality in 2009 to the maximum extent...

Hi
I suggest that you try and search before actually creating a question. When I did a search a couple of days ago, I saw the same question asked 3 or 4 times. All I did was send them the link of the previous thread. I suggest users first do a specific search and then a generic search on the functionality. I am quite sure we can reduce the number of repetative issues raised if we follow this!!
As a suggestion, whenever any person registers to the SDN, if a standard message is sent on the availability of the search option, would be a great. So that the users are avialable and they are encouraged to use the search option.
There are some documents avilable in the WIKI section. This could also be a search option. The answers we are looking for may already be there in those documents.
Hope everyone follows this. Thanks in advance.....
Regards,
Karthik Coneru

When will Adobe get a proper search function in its forums?

The new forums design is running for quite a while already, but I still don't understand how the search function could pass quality testing and has not been updated, yet. Did that department sleep? I'm in the Photoshop forum for example and I want to search this forum. To do this I first have to to do an overall search, then go to more options, and then scroll painfully to a list of 100+ entries that I have to view through a small tiny window. I'm sorry to say that, but this is absolute crap. What's the problem? Why can't Adobe implement a "search this forum" option or at least make the listbox for the forum selection larger? I do not expect something like this from Adobe! When will this finally change? This is really frustrating.
Marcus

You can. But it needs to be easier to find.
Just go to the search adobe.com window. Don't type anything in it. Just click on search button.
This will bring up another search area. You will see all products with a down arrow. Click on view all products and take your pick.
I am sure someone will point out a faster route to go.

I would also prefer to search within one product (or even a sub-forum), not ALL Adobe products.
Man, whoever thought THAT was a great idea?

With installation of 10.1 I lost finder search function. The finder window appears, but no matter what I put in the search window, nothing is found. I re-installed it with initial success, but it failed again very soon.

Hey Reoh,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If searching for files in Finder doesn't return any results, try using the steps in this article to reindex the Spotlight search index of your MacBook Pro hard drive:

Bug on search function in this forum

I have always the error too, but this error is now since more than one month.
Is there nobody at oracle.com to correct this problem??
Or does nobody knows of the error?
Thats a really damn error.
You cannot search for something and so you need
to make for everything a new question!
Hoping that somebody correct this problem!!!

Search Function in this Forum

Using Chrome 10.
Search the term "contribute"
0 results returned.
Anyone else having this issue?

Yes. Everyone is.
They've been doing some work on the back in of the forums.
I noticed that read-tracking is back on today so you may want to give the search function a try again.

Why is Flash Help/Search function so worthless?

Is it just me or is the Flash help function the worst help
function ever?
In other software you get the results you were looking for in
seconds
in Flash everytime you do a search you get like a hundred
different
search results and usually none cover the topic you were
looking for.
Its often easier to search on google than use the internal
help function
Why is it so hard to only display relevant results?
Could anyone teach me how to use the search function cause I
dont want
to read 1000 pages just to find out the difference between
align and distribute
options etc.
Thx /AquaStealth

It seems this article was written just for you! :)

Forum Search Function - A Question

I know that the Adobe Forum team has worked hard over the last year, to improve the forums' Search Function. The standardization across the various forums, the utility of Search, HAS been improved - thank you for that work.
However, once, after one ran a Search, and received a results page, it was possible to go thread-by-thread in those results, to pick the one, ones, that worked for an OP's situation, and by just using the browser's Back button, the searcher was taken back to the Search results page, for more research. Now, the Back button takes me (Chrome on Windows PC) to the general Discussions page, and not the Search results page. This means that the Search criteria have to be re-added. At first, it would seem that Copy/Paste for the Search criteria would be the best workflow, and just re-do that Search, over and over, reading one thread per Search. However, I use Search most often to help posters get answers, and I use the URL to the existing threads to do that. Here is an example of how I use Search, and how it works for me now - the current Search:
Poster has a question, and many other threads in a forum answer that/those question(s). I find six existing threads, that match my Search criteria. Good so far. I then need to read all six threads, to find the one(s), that are best for the new poster. When I find one, I Copy the URL of that thread, and add that to my Reply to that poster. I cannot Copy the Search criteria, to use in the Search query box, as I just Copied the URL to one thread in the list. I then have to go back to the main Discussions page, and re-initiate my Search, to read the second of the six threads - rather tedious, especially with more than one useful thread.
My workaround now, is to create a NotePad document with my Search criteria, and go back to it, Copying and Pasting those characters, after doing a Copy/Paste of a threads URL. Still tedious, but less typing.
Not sure if the old method, or using Back to get to the Search results page, could be re-implemented, leaving the rest of the Search functions untouched, or if someone knows a neat way to return to the Search results page, that I just am not aware of (do not mind admitting OE on my part, and am open to perhaps a better workflow, for how I normally use Search).

Jacob, unfortunately and although true, that doesn't agree with the image "normal" users get, with those unnecessarily brightly colored badges, and even more unnecessary special backgrounds in their posts, no matter how trivial (and I am not in the least questioning their most legitimate right to post trivial messages)... Their word doesn't become the Bible by the mere fact of being punished with their MVP titles, as the highlighting of their posts seems to suggest.
And yes, I know that -at least- many of you haven't chosen to be nominated as MVPs but, what does the general public think? Most probably, that you all have full moderating powers, and some other powers as well. A sad, artificial, and most unneeded situation -most definitely not an improvement.

Create Search Function in Flash

Hi
I'm in the process of creating a large scale website in flash
with several pages and lots of information. In able for the user to
find the information they are looking for I would like to create a
search function that can search through the site and return the
results with links to the pages.
It's just like the common search functions you often see on
the nowadays webpages. Any suggestions on how to create one?
All answers would be appreciated.
Thanks

I also am interested in the answer to this question.
I would rather use flash to create the search portion of the
website than to use a form.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Where is the Search Function in the Forums?

Where has the search function gone from the forums? I have been using it frequently lately because I am setting up a Powerbook 1.5 g4 with FCP 5.1.4 and it is the best way to find answers for "legacy systems" such as mine.

That search is DIFFERENT? Basic SUPPORT search?

Sorry.
