Search does not work in the Finder, Spotlight, Email

No search feature doesn't work on my Mac OSX Capistan mini running.

Search for Finder returns zip.

Spotlight returns zip.

And research email app returns zip.

I installed EasyFind and it works very well.

I don't know what the problem is.

It has been like this for a long time.

Very annoying.

Any help is appreciated greatly.

Nothing I've found so far in this community of support has helped.

The third-party software EasyFind can cause a conflict of research. Visit the Web site where you downloaded the EasyFind software and look for the instructions to uninstall.

Regarding research on a Mac, use the native search Spotlight.

If you still have problems, the Finder preferences can be damaged.

Open the Finder. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

Type or copy paste the following text:

~/Library/preferences/com. Apple.Finder.plist

Click OK and then place the com.apple.finder.plist file in the Recycle Bin, and then try a Finder search.

If this does not help, move this file in the same preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.Spotlight.plist

Then try a search.

  • Full text search does not work in the .chm help

    Hi all

    I updated the support of RoboHelp X 5 RoboHelp 7 project and discovered this full text search (using the 'Search' tab in the generated HTML Help) does not work. Each time the "no topics found" message is displayed, even if the word specified in the search field without a doubt shows in several topics...
    In my project I can't find any options for configuration of search features. There is only 'Search' tab check properties in the window and turned on in my project.

    Please, help me.
    Thanks in advance!

    PS: I am disappointed in RoboHelp 7 own help. I can't find something there... This is so embarrassing... :(

    Hey, snail,

    This happens usually when one of the dll that uses the help compiler is missing or not registered. Here are some instructions on how to re - register this DLL from the command line:

  • Full text search does not work in the CHM file

    Hello, everyone.

    I use Robohelp for Word X5.0.1 and Office 2003 to create my CHM file. Full text search worked perfectly, but my boss has spent a day in my workstation installation tips and apparently it has changed some configurations, since then, the search finds nothing, he always comes up with "no topics found" even though I am looking for key words that are in at least one subject.

    I don't know if it's just a coincidence, or it y ' has a link, but also from the day, I do not hide you get hot spots to hide in the text of words. Thus, for example, an access point which appeared in Word as {bmc button.bmp}, now appears in the form: {bmc button.bmp} Topic_Name. I know in a normal project, we use the show/hide ¶ button in Word, but now, even when he's hiding from the brands of format, it still shows the name of subjects, rather than hide them as well.

    I would appreciate your comments in one of these problems, even if they are not related. Topic being displayed names are just annoying, but if there is not connection, the most important is the full-text search to work.

    Thanks in advance.
    Paulo.

    Just to register that I solved the problem.

    I tried to reinstall HR, but that did not work. I was about to give up when I noticed that an error was to come when I compiled the project: the infamous "HHC6003: the file itircl.dll has not been saved correctly. I found out that only fix you this problem by saving another dll: itcc.dll

    Once you solve this problem, the compilation is perfect and full-text search works properly again.

    Thanks for the interest.

  • 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:

  • Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.

    I bought a computer from my old employeer.  He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things.  It is very slow and IE does not work all the time.  They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that.  It came with any disks.  I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it.   Can someone please?

    Hello

    Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
    the former employer to do it for you if necessary.

    Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
    role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
    machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  • 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.

    My apple pencil does not work after the 9.3.4 update. I tried to restart but still does not work. Tried to forget the device and whenever I connect the pencil to the ipad pro, it is said that it does not recognize the cable / device. Help please.

    < re-titled by host >

    Greetings RechargeableJam,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

    I see that your Apple pencil does not work after update to iOS 9.3.4. I guess it's about to have a problem with something that worked with the previous version of the iOS software. I'm happy to help you to help you find the best resolution.

    First of all, let's close open applications on your iPad Pro. This can ensure that there is nothing running in the background that is causing a conflict. The following article will help you:

    Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Then connect the pencil of Apple and see if it is recognized for the time being. If you don't see the Pair button, wait a minute while your Apple pencil costs. Then disconnect your Apple pencil, Plug and back on hold until you see the button in hand.

    Best regards.
