Search function not working - what to do?

Similar Questions

• Search function not working not

  When I do a search for a file, I get "No Results". I tried troubleshooting, only to receive a message saying: Windows Search Service is not running, not fixed. I'm going to explore other options to solve this problem, and I find myself here for advice.

  Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do next?

  3. Try to search again.

• 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.

• Windows Desktop Search is not working properly

  For some time after 4 days my computer will be slow and does not respond well. If I stop and start again, a box appears saying that desktop search is not working properly and options to stop the computer, reboot and rebuild the index.  After that performance improves for a few days.  What is the problem? Your help is appreciated.

  slberry50,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Looks like the indexing service is not running, or stops for some reason any.  We will check the indexing service to see if it is set to automatically run first.
  Restart the Windows Search service
  Click Start, type services in the start search box and press ENTER.
  List programs, click Services.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
  Scroll down and locate the service which is the Windows Search label.
  Right-click the service and then click Properties.
  Set the startup type: automatic (delayed start).
  Click Start to start the service, and then click OK.

  Rebuild the database that is used by the search indexer
  Click Start, the index in the search box and press ENTER.
  List programs, click on Indexing Options.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
  Click Advanced.
  Click on rebuild and then click OK to the warning that appears.
  Click OK to close the Indexing Options.
  Note: From now on, the system must re - index documents and electronic mail. However, when indexing is complete, it is likely that the performance of the system will return to acceptable levels.

  Run a file system check to ensure that no file system is damaged:
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  If your computer continues to experience bad performance, here are some additional troubleshooting steps:

• my built in webcam used to work, but I think that one of my kids deleted something and now my web cam does not work what do I do

  my built in webcam does not work.i one of my kids deleted some how and now it does not work what do I do

  Hello

  Try doing a system restore. Go to the SEARCH bar and type system restore.
  Once the System Restore screen, select a restore point (it must be before the problem occurred), launch it. Check.
  You can also update the drivers of your computer (the webcam driver). If you do not know how to locate, you can use RadarSync to find out-of-date drivers.

• Search do not work properly!

  Hello! I have that I use search criteria to search for data in DB. But the search will not work correctly.
  
  When I search using the ' search all areas: "so I can get the necessary information." But when I add attributes and try to search then I get incorrect results, see search form: http://my.jetscreenshot.com/2677/20120820-stms-117kb
  
  I want that if I add attributes 'The genetic resource Type' and 'Regional District of the forest' and enter the data, then my search engine search results that is common of these 2 fields added.
  
  My search criteria you can see: http://my.jetscreenshot.com/2677/20120820-hdyg-141kb
  
  In the search criteria, I use jointly OR, I I change it to and THEN above example works fine when I add 2 fields in the advanced search, but then a search using "search in all areas:" do not work.
  
  Can we say where I'm wrong, what to add or change in my search criteria, so that everything works?
  
  If you do not understand something or need more information, please let me know.
  
  Best regards, Debuger!

  To do this, you will need to change skin. Depending on your version (that you don't tell us), this is more or less work.

  You need to change the following descriptors

  af_query. LABLE_CONJUNCTION = Match
  af_query. LABLE_CONJUNCTION_AND = all
  af_query. LABLE_CONJUNCTION_OR = Any

  I hope that you use 11.1.2.2.0 as you can add the descriptors for the property resource bundle skin file. This file is created when you add a skin to your application. If you are using an earlier version, you may need to implement a ListResourceBundle and add it to the definition of the skin to the Trinity - config.Xml.

• 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.
  Created a new domain and configured and that you started it. 8 process start
  
  11 set up the web server and started the PIA.

  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.

• 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
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/safe+mode
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

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