Eclipse plugin: InstaSearch – for quick search

InstaSearch is an Eclipse plug-in for performing quick and advanced search of workspace files. This will index the files and when you search for some file contents, it will look with in this index and the search results will be faster, just like the Goolge instant search. It uses Lucene ( http://lucene.apache.org/ ) for indexing and fast searching of files in the workspace. Each search result file then can be previewed using few most matching and relevant lines. A double-click on the match leads to the matching line in the file.

Shows a preview using relevant lines
Periodically updates the index
Matches partial words (e.g. case in CamelCase)
Opens and highlights matches in files
Searches JAR source attachments
Supports filtering by extension/project/working set

Search Tips( check http://lucene.apache.org/java/1_9_1/queryparsersyntax.html )

If you search the text “MyTestJava”,it will look for My*, My*Java, Test*Java, Java* in files

ATG search installation and search engine log files

Here I would like to explain how your ATG search folder structure looks like after you do the ATG search installation and also about the search engine log files. To get the ATG search, you need to install the ATGSearch<version>Windows.exe after you do the ATG installation. When you install ATG search, the generated folders include an OS dependant folder. In the below screen shot, you could see the "i686-win32-vc71" folder and this is generated since the ATG search ins installed in a windows machine. The ATG search engine is actually an exe file inside this "i686-win32-vc71" folder. Below screen shot give you an idea about the "atgsearch.exe", which is the search engine application. This search engine application (atgsearch.exe) is started by a remote launcher call from the BCC search administration UI. The log files like "atgsearch_20120106112413_568.log" are the search engine log files where you could see the engine ...

Intimation u/s 143(1) of the Income Tax act

Have you got your Income Tax filing e-receipt ? After a successful assessment of tax returns, income tax department issues Intimation u/s 143(1). Normally these intimations will be received through email to the Email address provided when filing income tax returns online.

In case of demand , we need to pay the entire Demand within 30 days of receipt of this intimation.The payment can be made using the printed challan enclosed in the mail or you can go for online tax payment.

ATG Search - search engine tuning settings

In this blog, I am going to list the best tuning settings for ATG Search engine. The AESoapConfig.xml, AESoapWaspConfig.xml and AEConfig.xml are the xmls referred below and you can find it @ <ATG_DIR>\<Searchx.x>\SearchEngine\<operating_system>\bin\ folder. (1) Make sure that the AESoapConfig.xml's rwTimeout is less than or equal to routing's readTimeoutMs. You could find the routing's readTimeoutMs @ atg\search\routing\SearchEngineService component. rwTimeout is the length of time in seconds to wait before a read or write operation times out on an active connection. The number can be decreased to improve performance. However, a value that is too low could cause slow connections to be prematurely closed. (2) Adjust the number of engine threads to match the number of CPUs available to the engine. Note that the minimal value for maxThreads and maxSpar...
