How do I keep from highlighting terms in the search bar when I modify a string in the search bar--other than by clicking three to five times?

I'm not talking about terms in the search results; I'm talking about terms in the search string in the search bar in the upper right corner. (Mine is set to use only Google.) When I've searched on a string and decide to modify the string for a second search (say, changing "Spanish architecture" to "Spanish architectural style"), clicking at the end of the search string first highlights the entire string and then, as I keep clicking, highlights various parts of the string. Sometimes it takes five clicks to get the highlighting to go away so I can start back-deleting normally instead of by entire word or phrase. The Google homepage doesn't do this, whereas all search engines in Firefox do it, so it's clearly a Firefox annoyance.

Left click ONCE to get it's attention. After a moment, then do your work.

  • I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod.  How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on?  If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think

    Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
    It would depend however on the age of the child.
    Good Luck

  • With multiple iPhones and iPad, how do you keep from downloading data from one device to another? ie, my calander ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    With multiple iPhones and an iPad, how do I keep from downloading info from one device to another? All of my info, example my calendar, ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes when syncing multiple devices with the same iTunes library under the same computer login account.
    If sync calendars with the same calendar is selected under the Info tab for your daughter's iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the same calendar will be synced with her iPad.

  • How do I keep a custom letterhead on the first page in Pages 5

    How do I keep a custom letterhead on the first page in pages 5.  I made a custom template using text boxes and when the first page is full, the letterhead moves to the second page and disappears from the first page.  How can I keep it on the first page and not moving to the second page.
    hank

    Hi Hank,
    Text Box at the top of Page 1.
    Select the Text Box and
    Format Panel > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page
    That will stop it moving (flowing) with the text.
    Top of Page 2
    Another way is to put your letterhead in the Page Header of Page 1. Insert a Section Break at the bottom of Page 1 (Click where you want the Section Break and
    Menu > Insert > Section Break).
    Click in Section 2, and
    Document Panel > Section > Headers & Footers > untick Match previous section
    Page 1 with letterhead in the Page Header
    Page 2

  • How do I keep my downloaded content on my iPhone 4 when connectng to iTunes? It says erase and sync. I want to keep what I have downloaded, and manually manage contend on iTunes. Can I do this without it saying erase and sync?

    How do I keep my downloaded content on my iPhone 4 when connectng to iTunes? It says erase and sync. I want to keep what I have downloaded, and manually manage contend on iTunes. Can I do this without it saying erase and sync?

    No backup? Never a good idea to not maintain a backup of your important data. If you do not have a backup, follow these instructions:
    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you formatted your computer, your phone, will see your computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in whatever supported applications you use for contact & calendar syncing. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library and other important data..

  • How to send data from internal table to the shared folder in ABAP

    Hi experts,
             My requirement is to transfer data from a file to shared folder. i just did reading data from a file to a internal table. Now i want to send this internal table data into a shared folder which is  "

    I do not have any idea on how to send data from internal table to the shared folder path.
    can anybody please help me out how to do this?
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.

    Where that folder is located, its on presentation server i.e. desktop or application server.
    If its on presentation server, use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
    If its on application server, then use DATASET functions. Have a look at below link.

    I trasferred pictures over from my computer to my iPhone 5 and now i cannot delete these pictures from my phone, and i cannot work out how to delete them from my phone by the computer as the pictures do not show up in my files on the computer, how can i remove them i have over 400 pictures that need removing?

    If you have a Mac with iPhoto, plug the iPhone in and open iPhoto. Choose to import the photos. Once they have been imported, there should be an option to "Remove Imported Photos from Device". Choose this.

    How can I print from my IPad in the app Pinterest.  I cannot find a way to do it!

    I think she/he meant me.
    If the app won't let you print directly from it you might want to open in safari or make a screen capture then print from your photos.

    To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
    Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
    Ciao.

    If you choose the second alternative you should erase these global variables after the second form is opened

  • *Urgent*How to insert data from MS SQL to the table that create at the adobe form?

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe life cycle designer 8 to do my interactive form. I would like to ask how to insert data from MS SQL to the table that i have created in my adobe interactive form?
    I really need the information ASAP as i need to hand in my project by next week... i really appreciate any one who reply this post.
    Thanks

    Tou need to do a couple of things
    1. On the Essbase server, set up an odbc system connection to your MySQL database
    2. In the load rule , go to the file menu and select open SQL data source and in the data source put in your SQL statement . A couple of hints. Where it says Select, don't put in the word select and where it say from don't put in from. The system adds them for you. The easiest way ti enter a SQL statement is to do it all in the select area So if your SQL would normanlly say select * from mytable just enter the code as * from mytable in the select area
    The click ol/retrieve and enter in your connection info. Itshould bring data back into the load rule. Save the load rule and use it

  • How do I keep iPhoto '09 active on the dock

    How do I keep iPhoto '09 active on the dock, similar to itunes when the window is closed...
    It's so annoying when I close the window... and then when I open it later on, it has to load all the pictures again!
    Is it possible to keep it active, even if there is no window open?
    Peace,
    JR

    You can't.
    The rule is simple: if you cannot do anythig with an app without a window, then it quits when you close the last window. So, iMovie, Aperture, Final Cut X, SystemPreferences and others all quit when you close the last window.
    Use hiding. Or, if you're accessing files remember iPhoto doesn't need to be running is you use Media Browsers.
