Why not windows 7 search function work?

I use Windows 7 and looking for files on my hard drive. It is a large hard drive. I'm looking for an Adobe Illustrator CS6 file named 'Only 5' I used the "only 5' and also"only 5.ai"search term  In any case it returns results that are anything but 'only 5 '. He returned with incredibly obscure as names files "i4j_extf_14 - 1s5qrdc.txt" or "jquery.js" or "media-views - rtl.min.css.

Windows search does not clearly what he should do. Honestly if the folks at Microsoft are obliged to work with this type of programming is not surprising that they are running on products like Windows 8

Type of indexation in the box to start the search, open Indexing Options, choose Manage to ensure all the places you want to be indexed for search are included.  -Add or remove index locations

Often, when this is not enough, what works is to click on the Advanced tab to rebuild the index, which can take a few days to get them all properly indexed in the background.  Index - rebuild

  • Why the App Store search function does not work?

    Since the iOS most recent update (9.3.2), the app from the App Store does not work on my iPhone-iTunes app works perfectly, the App Store - space wasted on the screen and memory right now. I tried to disconnect, close the software, restart hard to my phone, but all I get when I try to search is a white screen. I can't even comment to apple in the app because it does not work. It was a time where this kind of thing never happened but the versions of software with major bugs is becoming more of a recurring theme lately. I'm really starting to wonder if Apple jumps right away even the most basic of pre-tests prior to publication just to get out a release. Frustrating to say the least.

    The search function on the App store on my phone work if something is wrong with your system. Try to reset the App Store in the following order:

    Close the App Store completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the App Store preview pane until it disappears from the display. Then sign out of the iTunes Store (in the settings).

    Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Then reconnect to the iTunes Store.

  • Search function works only in Windows 7

    I was wondering what happened to the Windows search function?  When he changed to the version of Windows 7, I can't find it anywhere.  I'm not talking about a search engine like Google or Bing - I am not search when you type in a word or several words in a sentence, and then this word or this sentence could be highlighted on the page I'm on.  It's really boring, trying to go through a whole page trying to find something specific.  Please help!

    I am not search when you type in a word or several words in a sentence, and then this word or this sentence could be highlighted on the page I'm.

    I assume you mean the search for text on the web pages. If Yes, then Ctrl + F is the function you're looking for. If you struggle to remember, then you can also use this sequence:

    1. Press and release the Alt key (to show the menu bar)
    2. E (to enter the Edit menu)
    3. F (to use the search function)
    It is specific to the browser that you use, and not to the version of Windows.
  • Search function does not work correctly (it does not mark the words found, instead, he built a light blue frame); When you open the PDF with Foxit, the search function works.

    Hello

    I use a PC (not a MAC). The document that I have a problem with emerged on a Word Document. I opened it using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

    When I tried to search for a Word, it worked. He scored the first word matching my search. As I pressed Enter to get results, he built a clear blue frame around large parts of the text presenting the result somewhere in the framework:

    Suchfunktion_Adobe.png

    When more pressing enter, the frame moves to the right or expands, but no other match is found. I tried to open the same file with Foxit pdf and here the function works correctly (marking all the matches one by one).

    Unfortunately, I can't tell all my customers to use Foxit. They all use Adobe and are complained about the search function.

    The size of the document is 9,32 MB and contains 324 pages.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yours,

    Hi Sarah,.

    We've fixed the problem. Where a person has the same question:

    When you create a pdf file in Word (by "save under" and select 'PDF (*.pdf)' as the type of document)), you can click on the 'Options' button... "When you want to have a tree structure of your pdf file.

    In the 'Options' dialog box, select "Create bookmarks to help: ' (I so always use 'Headings') and UNCHECK"Document structure for accessibility tags '.

    Then you will have problems with the whitin your structured pdf search function.

    It's a problem with Word.

    Thanks for your time!

    Kind regards

  • Search function works only not on the forums

    I came here to find help on how the error messages I see on my screen of output in the IDE to a text box, so I can see if these errors are happening in the production of output.  What I've found, is that the search function of the forum does not at all.  I have not received any results for the words 'error', 'film', 'flash' and 'text' elements that are obviously those who must return results.

    I couldn't find any way to contact Adobe about this, so I hope that someone who works for Adobe and show that the forums are going to pass this along.

  • Why not Win 7 search easily or reliably find files from subfolder and file specified?

    I've been using Windows for a while now, since version 2.x. I am currently using Windows 7 64 bit. I need to find a file. Not exactly rocket science. Let's say it's fichier.ext. I know that one or more copies of filename.ext reside inside or under C:\folder\subfolder1.

    So I open C:\folder\subfolder1 in Windows File Explorer. I press {COMMAND} + {e} for the search box and type filename.ext, then {ENTER}. The search returns 99 items. Unfortunately, 98 of them are not named fichier.ext. It sucks, but whatever. 98 results for the most part irrelevant are sorted by ascending file name. UH... I know by running DIR/s that there are actually 7 files named filename.ext residing in these subfolders. But Windows 7 search gave only 1 of them. The resolution of the problems of research said that everything was fine. All seem to have file system permissions. So here I am with 1 relevant result and literally 98 irrelevant results. It sucks. The files are not hidden. ATTRIB shows that they hear only the flags of A (rchive). I can find no reason why search gave no relevant results 98, yet returned only 1 of 7 planned relevant results. No, I'm starting to do this just to write a rant on the search for Win 7. I wanted just to finish a task, which would have been relatively easy in all previous versions of Windows, I used.

    Given that the search for C:\folder\subfolder1 does not work, I try searching for C:\. Guess what. 43 items returned, and only 34 of the results are irrelevant. From C:\, search found 7 all the relevant files. It's a Festivus miracle! But how a top-level folder got no less relevant results, but most relevant results doesn't make much sense.

    16% of the relevant results are grouped because they are sorted by filename ascending. Now, the company, right? I want the full path and the name of each of the 7 compliant files that I know exist. Who do not ask too, right? Except that there is no way to copy the text in the column of the file. And the text in the folder column is absurd anyway. The folder column shows "subfolder5 (C:\Folder\Subfolder1\Subfolder2\Subfolder3\Subfolder4). Why on Earth is subfolder5 on the left? And there is no place I can copy the path. OK, no problem, I'll just do a right click and open the file location. In fact I use {SHIFT} + {F10}, {i} instead of Right-Click, but it's because I have old habits when there was usually effective ways of doing things in Windows using the keyboard.

    Thus, opens the folder containing my first relevant result. {ALT} + {d} which brings me to the address bar, where I already have the full path. Now I just type "\" and the first characters of the file name and it completes automatically. {COMMAND} + {a}, {COMMAND} + {c} and it is all copied to the Clipboard. Yay, I got my first string path\filename successfully, so I can really accomplish something. I launch an instance of Notepad and paste it in for later use. Now back to my remaining 6 to search relevant results... Hmmm... {ALT} + {left} does nothing. Focus changes often without apparent reason in Win 7 files and the Search Explorer, which prevents the work strikes. So I move the mouse and click the left arrow to go back to my 6 other relevant results. That's when I find that search threw all the results. I have to wait while it does search through each file under C:\. Ugh.

    In an effort to avoid having to search several times C:\ 5 times more unnecessarily for fichier.ext, I'm thinking maybe I can click the button start and try to type here, let semi-automatic paths as I type the content of the column of the file. It does not, because the start menu obscures my 7 relevant results. I later I knew that even if they are hidden, I could select the relevant 7 of 99 total results and the selection color stick while the start menu hidden items in the name column. But in the end, the fastest way to get the 7 paths was actually copy via the mode prompt QuickEdit on DIR /S FILENAME command. Results of the EXT. I mean, really?

    Windows search cannot locate surely known names of files in a subfolder that is known? Win7 search not only gave me 98 irrelevant results, but also failed to find 6 of the 7 specified files. How screwed is that? But DIR/s gave me no irrelevant results at all and find files with 100% reliability. Does this strike anyone as being a little... uh... bad?

    Find names of files specified in a specified subfolder does not appear as a rare user scenario. Simply how to find a record of a known file in a known subfolder name seems ridiculously too complicated in Windows 7.

    Now, there is a _ a lot of good things on Win 7. My favorite features are probably support for multiple processors, accident of insulation, and the incredible improvements in design and material compatibility layer makes this Win 3.x prey. But please, I seriously hope that someone will take a look at some of the pieces of this real scenario common and try to improve things in a future service pack or something? Pretty please?

    Noel, thanks for the great suggestion! I * never * would have discovered the ' file name: ' filter with the help of Windows.

    I had no idea that there was a search syntax. It seems totally weird to me that the add a drop-down list box filter search doesn't give IU for update and size filters. I think that corresponding filename deserves its own button there and something to direct users to this overview of query language syntax.

    It's really great to know adding "leader:" to restrict the results to only compliant file names. I am completely floored that it is completely impossible. I would * NEVER * have discovered that the link of query syntax. There is no link between the search Help topics. Windows Search 4.0 is somewhat a component name internally. As an end-user of Windows 7, I consider that the search for files to be an integral part of the operating system. I would have never thought to search for help on "Windows Search 4.0". FYI - I just went to the research, a help file topic or a folder and a suggestion to make a link to the news of search query to win 4 left.

    I fiddled with the columns, remove the folder column and replacing it with the much more logical folder path column. I was happy to find that the next time I opened a search for C:\, the path of the folder column persisted.

    When I search libraries, I have the search box offers some filters, like, Date of modification, Type, name, path, Tags. This never was told to the "queue:" filter that I needed. The "name:" filter only appears when searching for my libraries, do not then the research to another part of my drive. Research on "name:filename.ext" returns all files where {(extention == «ext») & (filename contains "filename")}, for example, returns 'fu_filename.ext', 'filename_bar.ext', 'fu_filename_bar.ext', etc.

    In the results, the context menu doesn't give me a copy as path option. The closest I can find is going to file properties, I can manually copy the contents of the location.

    Rest of questions that I hope THAT MSFT would consider to improve:

    1. "file name:" filter is totally impossible, causing in search of filename otherwise quick to take minimum two times longer, useless due to analysis of the content of the file.

    2. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. EXT runs twice faster than Win with essential Search but impossible ' file name: ' filter, often up to 8 times faster than without the discoverable ' filename: ' filter.

    3. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. POST do not clutter results with files whose content contains the string.

    4. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. Reliable EXT returns all the relevant results.

    5. I can copy each path of results returned by DIR /S C:\FILENAME. POST in a single step (with QuickEdit active guest).

    It's not too terribly demanding to expect a file search v7 o/s to at least on par with the performance and ease of use of a query of type MS-MS-DOS age 30 is?

  • Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

    I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

    Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

    Neil

    Hello

    Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the link below and check if it helps.

    a. close Windows Media Player.
    b. find the file of database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:
    (Drive :) Users/xxx(the user name)/Appdata/local/Microsoft/Media Player
    c. right click on the file and then click Rename.
    d. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.
    e. start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.
    f. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to Library dialog box search for computers.
    g. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.
    h. click on the search button.
    The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

    Method 2:
    You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
    Here's how:
    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    a. exit Windows Media Player.
    b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
    c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
       Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    d. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Why not update for Linux mechanism works?

    Firefox informed me this morning that an update was available. In the small window in which this information came, there was a button marked "Update Now". I pressed the button and showed a gray horizontal bar with a short dark color bar moving from left to right. The text in the window says that Firefox has been updated. Unfortunately, that "update" can go on forever with nothing to show for it. So finally, I have to close the window myself (using the window manager).

    So my question is: why the update mechanism does not work for Linux?

    You have write rights to the Firefox installation folder?

    You are using a Firefox installation from the repositories of your Linux distribution or you installed Firefox yourself?

    If you used the deposits then you need to update via your software management.

    Otherwise, you may need to be updated as long as user root.

I tried to open it and use my mathematical models to take color and pressure sensitive notes.

    I have OneNote 2010, but prefer Windows Journal because I can move more quickly between colors and highlighters and set the pressure change notes that more quickly compare the steps more that I have to spend to do the same thing on OneNote (I use OneNote to all my other classes, however).

    Is a problem on the part of Windows or something else going on? I really like to use Windows Journal and wishes to continue to use it on my new laptop.

    I have a HP Envy 17, if this could be a problem as well.

    It may ask for the Windows Installer disk to do the following, so make sure that you have a practice before deleting anything...

    Go to Panel of--> programs and features, and then select "Turn Windows has or not.   In the list, there should be an item called "Tablet PC components".  See if it is checked.

    Uncheck the item called "Tablet PC components", that allows to uninstall everything about it.  Reset.

    Back to the same place and check the element called "Tablet PC components" to install.  Reset.

    Not better?
