Search does not work in preview 8.1

Recently, I upgraded MacOS to El Capitan.  An excerpt went from v8.0 to v8.1.  Suddenly, the Preview search function no longer works when you view a PDF.  When I type a letter, it shows (rightly) everywhere in the doc where this letter occurs.  I type a letter, and the list of successes only changes the places where these two letters occur in the order (as it should).  But if I type a third letter to my search term overview displays "No results found".  It does this even when I can see on the first page of the document, words containing the three letters I typed.  This is a new bug; I have never seen this in v8.0.  Has anyone else seen this bug, and is there a solution?

Send feedback to Apple. They will not respond, but at least know that there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it can become the problem solved as soon as possible.

  • get tap three fingers does not work in 'Preview '.

    Hello

    After switching to macOS Sierra, the "Search with three finger tap" (to borrow the dictionary) does not work in Preview (but works fine in Safari, iBook etc.).

    Is there anyone face the same problem?

    My machine is-

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13-inch, mid-2014), processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory.

    Previously the Trackpad settings were also Visual presentations (such as the use of the fingers and hands) to show how a specific parameter. But in macOS Sierra Visual presentation has disappeared and there is a still image (showing a boy eating something while standing in a relaxed) on all parameters, for example:

  • Downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 and now edit/search does not work.

    The Question above about nearly everything.

    I downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 (I'll never learn) and now edit/search does not work. The search at the bottom of my screen bar disappeared and clicking on EDIT and SEARCH does nothing. Also, Ctl - F does nothing.

    FYI, using Windows 8.1.

    Someone actually check the compatibility with desktop computers and laptops on the news, or is it more important to be compatible with smart phones?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    Try to rename (or delete) the file xulstore.json in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Open - recent items does not work in preview or Mellel (one third) word processor app

    The 'Open recent element' function under the file menu does not work in preview mode before and in a third of processing (Mellel) I use. It works very well until two weeks or two there. It works in Word,

    May be a corrupt .plist.

    Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

    Quit the application.

    In Finder and hold the option/alt key while clicking on the menu item Go. Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist. Move the .plist on your desktop.

    Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

    If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

    If you want to make your library user visible permanently, run the command in Applications/Utilities/Terminal Server below.

    chflags nohidden ~/Library/

    You will need to do after the updates.

    If it works, it should be a .plist to the other application.

  • Vista search does not work

    No matter what I do, I can't find Vista to work - most of the time, the search will not find the files I'm looking for, although I can see them at the top of the list of files in the directory. I rebuilt the index multiple times with no improvement in the service. In another case, the search will find only files created in October 2009 (that is when I started using Vista), but specific searches do not work in other files, that I moved all the files in this folder to another folder and the result is the same, even if the file is renamed to something different. I also noticed that, in some cases, research fails to recognize a file named re and get back a result if I search the name of the original file (even if the file name has changed significantly).

    Simply, research of simple file names which I am accustomed to years of XP do not bring the results I need. I have same useless content search function at all. It was recommended that I find a simple program of research of third party for searches of files, but that's not really answering the question.

    I guess I would rather just turn the indexing function OFF set (that I tried), but it does not appear to improve the ability of Vista to find the files I need.

  • Search does not work in HCM9.1, pt8.52 after installation

    Hi I just installed HCM9.1 with Peopletools 8.52 on windows xp 32-bit with Oracle 11 g. This is my first install ever.
    When I connect online search does not work (when I click on search on any page that contains a search record it just shows that progress gif image but nothing happens.)

    I logged in using PS/PS

    any ideas of what I was wrong during installation?
    Here are the steps I followed.
    1-install Oracle11g
    Logic 2-installs web
    3. installation of Tuxedo and defined TUX_DIR
    PeopleTools 4-installs in C:\pt8.52 and HCM9.1 in c:\hcm9.1 n Verity
    5. manually created a database named HRSD by using initHRSD.ora and configured the listner and ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME defined and created the spfile.
    then ran the scripts in the documentation to create namespaces, roles, the dbowner etc.
    6 set the application designer
    7 - loged in Data Mover and installed a demo hcm9.1
    8 - ran grant.sql
    9 - ran pt851u.sql and pt852u.sql.
    10 configured application server and started.

    HCM9.1 is now delivered based on Peopletools 8.51 (since Peature Pack 1, Dec-2010), you should successfully upgrade to make it work on Peopletools 8.52. However, you've made a mistake here, you should not run rel851, but only rel852. Second mistake, being HCM9.1 > = 9.0, you must run rel852un not rel852u. These errors can explain much of the search does not work. Not to mention the copy projects and a couple of AE to run.
    Delete the database and restarting from scratch is probably the best way to make you application is working correctly.

  • No list of programs and launch the search does not work.

    Last year a virus creeped into my system. After I couldnot find and delete I ran combofix that seems to help eliminate the virus. However, I have a lot of files and corrupted files in my system that I don't recognize. also, my search for the Start button does not work after this difficulty and "all programs" list has disappeared. I recently found that I have to do a system restore but my dates do not go too far before the virus. What should I do? I have a 32-bit windows vista system.

    Thank you.

    The best way to get rid of the shinannigans on your computer is to reload windows itself with the multimedia installation/installation partition if you have one. If this is not the case, I suggest to download and run Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/mse.aspx this is a free anti-virus MS. Try creating a new account on your computer and connection in there to see if your search bar and list of program starts working again:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account?SignedIn=1

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-a-users-account-type

    For these two make sure you click on my computer is on a workgroup for instructions and follow the steps in BOTH of the links

    If they then delete your old account and just use the new using Microsoft Security Essentials.

    I hope this helps!

  • Windows 7 Explorer function search does not work / command prompt

    Hello

    I searched several messages, but unfortunately have not yet found a solution that worked. My problem: windows Explorer 7 does not at all. This means that type any word in the search box in the upper right corner makes no difference / nothing happens.

    I tried solving the problems, I tried to get into safe mode, nothing works. I re-indexed my computer, no effect.

    During playback I do a scan with SFC/scannow, I discovered that box "search programs and files" in the lower left corner does not work either. Everything I type, makes the window completely off and if I click on see the results I get the error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. May not permissions to access you the item', even if I am the owner / administrator of my computer.

    Starting from the command-line using SFC/scannow gives the message "you must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc function. This is why I can't use the trick to create another user.

    The search function used to work properly until I had an infection by the virus. I've scanned my computer several times with different antivirus scanners, and nothing is found. I assume that the damage has been done at this time there and would like to know what I can do to fix it (I also have problems with other software, Word for example, works well, but guess that's all the.). I don't want to install a third party software to do research like I want my good computer work with the software that came installed when I bought it.

    Thanks in advance, Hubert

    I found the solution elsewhere (not microsoft site), which worked instantly:

    Navigate to this folder,
    c:\Users\Your name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\1033\
    And delete the file StructuredQuerySchema.bin

    Therefore, the search worked well.
