S60 CONTACTs Search Engine improvement suggestions

I am using the E72 now.
But I hv used almost all E-series (with keyboard) and even back to the 9000 series communicators.
So far I am still very puzzled why Nokia cannot do a proper and simple search for CONTACTs.
eg. John Smith, IBM, (Address) - Australia xxxx, (cell) 901222*******
you type Smith John, and it will return nothing.
you type IBM and will return nothing.
you type Australia, it will return nothing.
you search the cell number say 9012, it wil return nothing...
why so dumb !!!!!!
I really don't care how it can connect to the internet, or listen to music or anything extra you can think of.
It is a phone and the address book is the most often used pcs of software !!
Pls impriove it with GLOBAL, all field search, instant and fast, even telephone numbers should be searchable !!
How difficult can that be !!!!?/???????
I am sure if you open the code, a 16 yr old kid can improve it !

I have had Nokia E-series since they were born.
and before that I used the 9xxx series from the start.
And so, I do know how to use these devices, and there is no global search function in the Contacts app.
The separate SEARCH app is very slow and inconvenient to use.
Why can't they just index everything and let you search it all ?
It is so simple.
I really don't care too much about other new functions like : web browsing, GPS, etc etc.
I use my phone to find people, and talk or sms or email.
If I can't find somebody in my Contacts, then it is useless.

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar?

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar whenever I visit websites that suggest to us to add their search engines?
I searched a lot and couldn't find any help. How to stop websites from suggesting to my Firefox search bar to add their search engines? I don't want to add other search engines other than the ones I organized. I don't want my list to look more distracting and longer.

Firefox doesn't do that. That's either a feature of the website you are visiting or possible Malware on that PC.
A screenshot of that might be helpful. <br />

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.

I cannot change my default search engine, despite trying all your suggestions. A friend suggested an add on- google default but for some reason Firefox is not

I have recently had the problem of Yahoo search becoming my default search engine. I loathe Yahoo having had many problems with them in the past so refuse to use them. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing...no change. I tried all your suggested fixes and none works. There is now no mention of Yahoo when I go to change search settings, but despite this Yahoo is the default search engine. This is intolerable for me and I am seriously on the verge of removing firefox for good. Stop me!!! I am having to send this in a different search engine as in Mozilla firefox this account is inactive...work that one out! It means there is no point giving you troubleshooting info...

You may have ad / mar-ware changing your settings.
First, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

(SEO) Improving Search Engine Rankings with FB4/Flex 4 (spark)

Is FB4/Flex 4/spark components doing work to make Flash RIA sites searchable?

Hi,
We are not doing anything specific in Spark to enable more searchability, we are still waiting on the search engines to continue to improve their implementations to support loading content dynamically which will then expose the text that is on the screen. We do have some thoughts on things we can do with deep linking to help promote structure to the search engines in the future, but that would also require cooperation with the engines and isn't something we can do entirely on our own.

How to improve the performance for integrating third party search engine

hi,
I have been working on integrating verity search engine with KM. the performance for retrieving search result totally depend on how many search result returned, for example if there is less than 10 records, it only takes 3 seconds, but if there are 200 records, it takes about 3 minutes, is it normal? anyway to improve it? Thanks!
T.J.

Thilo,
thanks for the response, would you recommend some document for configuring KM cache service, I did change memory cache, and also dynamic web reposity, whatelse out there that I can change? right now, I have one instance(EP6.4 sp11) works well, it returns 200 records from Stellent within 6s. But when I put this KM global service on EP6.0 sp2 (our current system) it takes about 15s. I am not sure is this because of different EP version, or something else. I have tried my best to slim down SOAP component from Stellent. I don't think anything else can be done from that side anymore. before I changed the SOAP, it tooks about 60s. just wonder what else I can do on KM side to improve it performance? Thanks!

What IP address Bing is using to provide Safari's "search engine from providing suggestions." ?

When you use Safari, you will find that Search engine can provide you with suggestions like this . For example, I am using Bing.
How can I know what IP address Bing is using to provide those suggestions?

>open a new tab
>type about:config in the address bar
make sure
1: browser.fixup.alternate.enabled should be false
2: keyword.enabled should be true
3: keyword.URL should be http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

I suddenly have BING as my search engine. I checked my settings and Google is my search engine. I can't seem to get rid of this BING any suggestions?

I suddenly have BING as my search engine. I checked my settings and Google is my search engine. I can’t seem to get rid of this BING any suggestions on getting rid of it and getting back to Google?

Hello
I did remove Bing from the drop down menu, but it is still in Firefox as main search engine. I also did a back up and restore. Nothing has worked so far. I read a post that people were able to delete Bing from Explorer. I guess using Explorer will be my last resort.

Provide "Suggestions" feature for all searchbox search engines.

Is there a hack that can force Bing/Yahoo/Google/Wikipedia suggestions for Searchbox engines that do not provide suggestions themself.
I used Suggestthemall extension before for this purpose, but it does not work in Firefox 4.0.

You can still disable the search engines if you have root access to your device. Specifically, you need to pull and modify the file search.json. On my device, I have:
adb pull /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/rbn69ru0.default/search.json
Now, by default, this file doesn't format everything nicely, so you can use something like
http://jsonformat.com
In order to clean things up. In any case, you'll see bits such as
"_id": "[app]/bing.xml",
"_name": "Bing",
"_hidden": false,
"description": "",
"__searchForm": "http://www.bing.com",
You need to take the "_hidden" flag and change it to true. Do this for all of the search engines to hide all of them. Or, frankly, just delete everything under engines. Then, upload the file back and restart firefox with a command like:
adb push search.json /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/rbn69ru0.default/
Until an application restart, the changes won't be seen.
As a slight editorial note, it's dumb that we have to do this by hand. Either we should be able to disable things under Settings->Customize->Search settings or we should have some way of turning things off in about:config. While I understand that removing menu items that cause too many support issues, completely removing the option even from about:config is counterproductive.

When I open a new tab I'd like it to open in my home page (my favourite search engine). Any suggestions how I can set this up, please?

Found the answer in another thread discussing the same problem. Hit Ctrl and click the Home icon at the same time. Works great!

Safari will not prevent search engine from providing suggestions, even though that block is checked in Privacy preferences.

I also seem to have having this problem, despite having checked the "prevent" option in Preferences. Typing words into the Safari search bar (NOT the Google search bar on one of Google's search pages) leads to suggestions being made:
as well as connections being made to lhr14s21-in-f7.1e100.net:
which http://66.161.36.140 suggests resolves to a Google IP address block.

Stop safari from filling in search bar as I type evan with search engine suggestions disabled?

stop safari from filling in search bar as I type evan with search engine suggestions disabled?

[[Location bar search]] has lots of information on this. If the steps here don't work for you or aren't clear enough, please visit that article.
1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn.
* The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
2. Search for the preference keyword.enabled.
3. Double-click the keyword.enabled preference to toggle it between true and false.
* false disables Internet Keyword searches.
* true enables Internet Keyword searches.

Safari google search engine suggestions aren't working.

I have gone through the Safari app, everything that needs to be turned on is on. Including 'search engine suggestions', 'preload top hit', and 'spotlight suggestions'. I have tried many things to fix the problem. Restart phone. Turn off all suggestions, restart phone. Turn everything back on, restart phone. I have even done a complete reset. NOTHING is working.
I have another iphone 6 and it is working on that phone. Additionally, if I start searching something on the other phone that works, I see different things pop up, like map suggestions, all search engine suggestions, and prior websites with the words I'm typing. None of this shows up on my iphone.

Exact same problem on my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.0. Hasn't worked since I activated the phone last week. Played with all previously mentioned settings. Changing search engine doesn't help either. Reset network settings...no good.
Interestingly, it doesn't work on my iPhone 5 with iOS 8.0 either. However, it does work on my iPad Mini on iOS 8.0 - same WiFi network.
Not much of a pattern here. Probably just need to wait for an update release.

Search Engine Suggestions - Private Mode iOS 8.x

In iOS 7 the user could enable Private Browsing and still get search engine suggestions when searching in Safari. It seems that now, in iOS 8, when searching safari in private mode, the user does not get search engine suggestions.
I am curious if there is a way to enable search engine suggestions while using safari in private mode and/or if Apple purposefully removed search engine suggestions from safari search whilst browsing in private mode.
Thank you.

Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.

Adobe Bridge's search engine is not good at all. How Can I improve it?

Adobe Bridge's search engine is Horrible! Is there any plugins or setting tweaks to make the search engine better? When I search for "woosh" in bridge under my SFX folder it comes up with 10 results. When I do the same search using windows explorer it comes up with over 100 woosh sounds. And I'm searching the exact same location for both searches. I've noticed that if the file name is written "Woosh_17" or "Woosh17" or anything where there is no space after the key word, bridge will not find it. Is there anything I can do to make bridge's search engine work better?
I am using Bridge CC
Windows 7 64 bit

Unless your iPhone is jailbroken, there is no spyware on it. There is no way for spyware to be downloaded or installed. You don't really explain why you think you do. As far as I can see, the Fortinet app is just an app providing information about their services - it isn't performing any functions on the phone itself. Not clear what relevance you think the Norton security on your computer has to do with it.
You might want to do something about that bug that is extracting all the punctuation from your writing though.....
