SharePoint 2013 Use Only Always Suggest - sharepoint

In SharePoint 2013 the system automatically makes the query suggestions when users search a keyword and click a link 6 or more times. In addition, you can add the Always Suggest Phrases by importing the text file that is separated by line breaks.
Is there a way to disable and remove all the automatic query suggestions and only use the Always Suggest Phrase?
Thanks in advance!

Posted on technet and it appears there is no way around this.

VBA Ribbon validate imageMso

I'm creating a custom ribbon in Excel, and I'm using ImageMso's for icons. I downloaded the full list of Icons from Microsoft, and tried to create a menu that displays them all for me to choose, but some of them are not displaying.
Is there any way to validate if an imageMso code does not work with the current version of windows, and display a placeholder in it's place instead of a blank icon?
Thanks,
Daniel
In my experience the short answer is no, but I also haven't investigated or attempted to resolve it with any great tenacity. If it doesn't show up I will retry with a different icon.
Note that I am not an expert by any means, but have been playing around with customUI for a while.
There is a great free Add-In I found that helps with speeding up the whole process of identifying suitable icons. It's worth checking it out.

PS. I hear this is particularly an issue going into the Office 2019.

Manipulating text of a document while it's open

Is it possible to extract, modify or simply read text in an Office while user types in words? It it possible through OpenXML SDK & InterOp library?
Thanks.
I have used the Microsoft Office Interop API for Word in a couple of projects, and surely, you can access the content of the document, even while a user is editing it.
I suggest you take a look at some tutorials to get you started, and if you encounter some problems, you can always return and ask.
Beware though - if you are expecting to be able to read the content each time a new character or word has been entered in the document, you might get disappointed, as there currently are no events raised when this happens.

Design pattern for Excel like workbook editor

I've been assigned to a software development task for a excel like editor. Basically the editor is working on 2-dimensional data, should have the basic editing features such as add/remove rows/columns, edit cells, undo redo etc.
Please point me some good design patterns for this type of job, Thanks!
Rather than trying to figure out all design patterns for a project in advance, wait until you run into a specific design issue and think about patterns that address that issue.
That being said, the features you list here do call out the likelyhood that you'll be wanting to use the Command pattern, so that each possible operation (add column, add row, remove column, edit cell, etc.) is supported by a command object, and enabling undo/redo for your commands with additional help from the Memento pattern.
Depends on context of use.
You could check out some common usage guidelines for tables here: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/ux/middleware/richclient/index.html?/webfolder/ux/middleware/richclient/guidelines5/tblInteraction.html
Very often users want an Excel-like UX for table data manipulation, including actual export to Excel. You can provide for edit, sort, add row, enlarge, etc. If the user is editing in a table try that guideline. It's intended for enterprise users, so customize accordingly.

Exactly matching search result pages for synonymous query terms in sharepoint

i work with sharepoint 2010 search optimization and I was wondering if there's a way to make query terms exactly synonymous with each other.
The option I found in the search center settings is a little off target with mandatory creation of a best bet. I want, for example, the search results pages for 'IE' and 'Internet Explorer' to be exactly the same.
Any idea how to go about it? thanks in advance!
You need to define a thesaurus file. It's laborious, but can be done.
There's a good post about it here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/enterprisesearch/archive/2008/09/23/how-to-customize-the-thesaurus-in-sharepoint-search-and-search-server.aspx
The thesaurus is probably the way to go. Remember though that the thing with any version of Sharepoint Search except FAST is that synonyms are one way only, meaning when someone enters IE, it is a synonym for Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is not a synonym for IE. (depending on which way you defined it of course). This means that any query for IE will include all content related to both and a query for Internet Explorer will render results for Internet Explorer content only.

Changing My Site and My Profile tab text

How do I go about changing the My Site and My Profile text on everyone's My Site within SharePoint 2007?
I can't seem to find anywhere where these are set in any of the master pages.
12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\SPSPERS\default.aspx is the page where you will be able to change it. But it is not recommanded to touch this file for editing. One of the best recommaned approach to achive what you want is defined here
To solve this problem rather than create my own My Site Host as was suggested on another forum I used jQuery to find the tabs and change their name on the fly. Not the greatest fix but it works flawlessly
