• Search for text on a Web page in ModernUI IE10

  Is there a way to search for text on a Web page in the version of the modern UI for IE10?

  If you use modern IE, the shortcut must be identical to it in most web browsers:

  CTRL + F
  So, open IE, select a text field that opens the keyboard on the screen, then tap on and hold down the Ctrl key and press F release both. You should see a little extra box we pop that is your field of research to this page.

• Is it possible to search for text in an Illustrator file from an external source like the Finder (Mac)?

  I'm trying to find some similar text strings on hundreds of files.  Specifically, I'm looking for dimensions.  4.50 "for example.  I want to see how many files have this dimension within them so that I can group them for production purposes.

  Is there a way to search for text in Illustrator (I use CS5) files from Finder?  Or another program of research?  I use a Mac.

  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated and would help save me a lot of time.

  Yes. While the Finder cannot find the content of .ai files, it can do it with .pdf files. If you change the extension of a .ai in .pdf file, you can use Spotlight to search by content.

  This fact, combined with a file rename utility as A Better Finder Rename, you can leave temporarily rename all of your .ai files so they end up in something like 'RENAMED.pdf '. Then, once you have performed your search, find all files ending in RENAMED.pdf, to delete the word "RENAMED" and change the end for .ai again.

  Of course, this isn't something you want to get into the habit of doing.

• Search for text when I start typing, I want to turn it off but it doesn'

• Search for text in the option in Windows Search 4.0 Preview pane doesn't work do not

  I use XP SP3.  I recently downloaded Windows Search 4.0.

  When the Windows search results window opens, I noticed that it is possible to search for text in the preview pane.  I click on a file and go to OPTIONS > COMPONENT of VISUALIZATION, but see that FIND is grayed out and unavailable.

  This function worked before, when I loaded Windows Search first; now, it no longer works.  My files have been fully indexed; and I made no changes to the computer since then.  I tried to restart the computer, but there was no change.

  Any ideas? Matthew W. I. Dunn

  Hello Matthew w. I. Dunn, welcome.

  I recommend trying a system restore to see if that solves the problem. Try this:
  1. click on START

  2. click on "all programs".

  3. click on "Accessories".

  4. click on "system tools."

  5. click on "system restore."

  6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

• Search for text within the range of specific pages

  Hi all

  I have a pdf document that is 1000 + pages long. I wonder if there is a way to search for certain words in a certain amount of pages; for example, if I wanted to find the term "heart", but only in pages 560-600. Is there a way to do this?

  Thank you very much!

  Hannah

  This option is not available. If you do a Ctrl + F, click on the arrow pointing downwards in the search window and choose "open research to drive full" then "Show more options", you will see all the options available.

• Can I search for text in iframe?

  I do an exploration to see if I can display content SharePoint in IFrames. Success! I can view Word files saved as HTML pages and view it in IFrames.

  But then, I decided to see if I can identify keyboards in the IFrame to a search. Alas, my plan falls flat.

  I suspect that the answer is no, but I hope to be denied. Can I somehow search for text that appears in an IFrame?

  Hello

  The IFrame points to something included in the RoboHelp project or he is simply presenting something from outside the project?

  If the content within the IFrame is part of the project, research should be able to find terms in the document. But I think that if he says something of that RoboHelp don't is not yet aware, you would see questions.

  See you soon... Rick

• Script to search for text and remove the hyperlink and characterstyle link which applies (back to normal)

  I need help with my script to search for text and remove the hyperlink and characterstyle link which applies (returns the normal text).

  I can't do either as I want.  I want the user to be able to type in a dialog text they want to search for, do search this text IGNORING case (case insensitive) and then for all instances that he find it, remove character styles that are applied to the (set to [none]) and delete the hyperlinks.

  My code seems to define the character style [None], when I click on the text and look at the window of character Styles, BUT all old styles (font color, underline) are always applied and removed not as I want.

  Also, I can't understand how to remove all of the old links.

  Here is my code:

  myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

  var noneStyle = myDocument.characterStyles.item ("[None]");

  var myFindVal = "";

  var myErrorText = "";

  var myErrorCount = 0;

  myDialog = app.dialogs.add var ({name: "search user submitted text and delete hyperlinks from objects found.", canCancel: true});

  {with (MyDialog)}

  {with (dialogColumns.Add ())}

  {with (borderPanels.Add ())}

  staticTexts.add ({staticLabel: "search and delete hyperlinks for :"}); "})

  myTextBox var = textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});)

  }

  }

  }

  If (myDialog.show () == true) {}

  myFindVal = myTextBox.editContents;

  doSearchAndReplace();

  app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

  app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

  If (myErrorCount == 0) {}

  Alert ("done! ("Part of the links have been removed for: '" + myFindVal + ""! "");

  }

  else {}

  Alert ("last error: '" + myErrorText + "' & number of errors:" + myErrorCount);

  }

  }

  myDialog.destroy ();

  function doSearchAndReplace() {}

  app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = myFindVal;

  app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;

  app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;

  app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;

  app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;

  app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;

  app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = false;

  app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = false;

  var myFoundItems = myDocument.findText ();

  for (i = 0; i < myFoundItems.length; i ++) {}

  myRemoveHyperlinkAndStyle (myFoundItems [i]);

  }

  }

  function myRemoveHyperlinkAndStyle (myFoundItem) {}

  try {}

  myDocument.hyperlinkTextDestinations.item (myFoundItem) .remove ();

  myDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.item (myFoundItem) .remove ();

  myDocument.hyperlinkURLDestinations.item (myFoundItem) .remove ();

  myFoundItem.applyCharacterStyle (noneStyle);

  }

  {catch (MyError)}

  myErrorCount ++;

  myErrorText = MonErreur;

  }

  }

  Hello

  Right, some hyperlink might be a pageItem...

  expand the 'if' condition with:

  If (myHyp [len].source.hasOwnProperty ("sourceText") &... content ==...)

• Search for text in a layer

  Hi all

  I build a script for CS6, and one of the steps is to find a layer that contains the text. Inside of this text, I need to search for specific words. Is there a way to do this?

  Thank you for your help.

  This should point you in the right direction

  var search = "dogs";
  var layer;
  
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var text = doc.textFrames;
  
  for(var i = 0; i < text.length; i++){
      var position = text[i].contents.indexOf(search);
      if(position != -1){
          //found search term in text frame
          text[i].selected = true;
          layer = text[i].layer.name; //note: this only holds the record of the last layer that contains the search terms
      }
  }
  

• Search for text in the file Excel, Explorer, does not.

  Have a workbook (.xlsm).  In a cell, there is a simple text value (not the result of a formula).  The value is "Homestreet. I type Homestreet in the search box on Windows Explorer.  By the Explorer, the file is not found.  Many users report similar complaints, and so I found several suggested solutions that sounded quite peremptorily declared. So, I have and have done or checked all of the following items, but still the file is not found when I search for it using Windows Explorer.

  o that I have rebuilt the index (which was like 24 hours or more).
  o in the Explorer. Search folder options, I chose "always search file names and contents", "include subfolders" and "find partial matches."
  o in the Panel. Indexing Options. Advanced | Types of files, the file of type "xlsm", it is checked and the option for "Properties Index and contents of the file" button is selected for that file type.
  o checking attributes advanced in each folder to the folder containing the file, 'allow files in this folder to have content indexed in addition to the properties' is checked.
  I have no idea why should have to do all these things simply to find text in an excel file, but I have them all.  Seems to be a very poor design something that should just be simple. Seems more reliable to find something on the internet, with a simple and direct search by typing text into a search box, to find something on my local C drive! But, beyond this comment... the result of all the above is effort... still, the search does not find the file!
  So is there any other suggestions to get the Search Explorer to work? (Or, if you have any suggestions for a good a third-party tool efficiently search my local disc C, which can actually search the contents of Excel files, this suggestion would be appreciated, too).
  Thank you!
  Tom

• FrameMaker 10 - is there a way to search for missing, either open or closed parentheses?

  Is there a way to FrameMaker 10 seeking a missing opening or a closing parenthesis?

  Should I do a search for each opening parenthesis and see if there is a closing parenthesis?

  Then repeat the search for a closing parenthesis see if there is an open parenthesis?

  Is this the only way?

  Cut using intelligent quote of the spell checker:

  If the document does not double quotes...
  Edition > find/replace:
  Change all (to"
  (Change All) to.

  Those are typing quotes.
  Edition > check spelling:
  In all cases with the 'chain', click on [OK]
  On all instances with 'string, type (string) and click [OK].
  Edition > find/replace:
  Change all-')
  Change all------' to)

  Those are on the left and right of the double quotes.

  Yes, you have to hit every instance, but it will be click-to-continue except incompatibility.

• Is there a way to search for a specific value of margin (or margins wo a specific value)?

  In a body of book, I fixed the installer of margins. On some pages, I replaced the bottom for design margin. In reviewing the book, I found a few pages where I accidentally changed the inside or the outside margin.

  Say my inner margin est.75 po. Is there a way to search and find all the pages with a padding pas.75 margin or if not all inside margins less de.75, upper to, etc.?

  Any ideas would be welcome.

  Well, it's a simple script. Here's one who seeks margins less than the specified threshold, in this case 1.0 (regardless of your units of the rule):

  var threshold=1.0,
      i, m=app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().marginPreferences;
  for (i=0; i
