Adress bar search uses a different engine depending on the amount of words entered

I've been trying to figure this one out for a bit... If I enter one word into the adress bar - gamespot for instance - it takes me to a bing.com search. As opposed to the gamespot.com site as it has always done up until a few hours ago. Now, at first I figured this was just a matter of firefox changing the default, so looked for a solution to this. The given solution in most cases is to change to change keyword.url - which I have done. It is set to the google url that according to most of the sites I checked is supposed to work. However, typing 'gamespot' still gives me a bing search (not a google search or the site in question).
But here's the kicker; if I type 'game spot' it takes me to the gamespot.com website. So I tried something else. 'facebook' vs. 'face book' - same thing. 'fastcars' - bing search, 'fast cars' - google search. 'firefox' - bing.com search, 'fire fox' - mozilla homepage... I take it you see what I mean by now...
I have no idea what is going on here. Seems a bit of an odd effect for any kind of malware - allthough I'm running a full scan as I type, just in case...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== no idea what triggered it. Just happened all of a sudden this evening. After using the comp all day without it acting like this - and no new installs that I know of.

Hi,
>>A CHAR datatype and VARCHAR2 datatype are stored identically (eg: the word 'WORD' stored in a CHAR(4) and a varchar2(4) consume exactly the same amount of space on disk, both have leading byte counts).
Ok, but on the other hands:
SGMS@ORACLE10> create table x (name char(10), name2 varchar2(10));
Table created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into  x values ('hello','hello');
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> commit;
Commit complete.
SGMS@ORACLE10> select vsize(name),vsize(name2) from x;
VSIZE(NAME) VSIZE(NAME2)
         10            5
SGMS@ORACLE10> select dump(name),dump(name2) from x;
DUMP(NAME)                                         DUMP(NAME2)
Typ=96 Len=10: 104,101,108,108,111,32,32,32,32,32  Typ=1 Len=5: 104,101,108,108,111Cheers

  • Use a different SSO Server than the one specified during install.

    Hello,
    I found on documentation that OAS Portal Configuration Guide would tell me how to use a different SSO Server than the one specified during install. I need to tell an existing Portal installation to use a new Identity Management infrastructure server I installed.
    However, documentation does not mention anything related to that. It states that ptlconfig would do the trick, but ptlconfig instructions are not clear on how to accomplish this.
    Could anyone that has done this before, help me out? Thanks in advance...

    Hello jlubbers,
    That is exactly what I am talking about, the ptlconfig does not model SSO components. So I assume it is incorrectly referenced on several points of documentation as a tool to work with SSO parameters or configuration.
    I need to know how to tell my Portal to look at the new SSO server. If someone has done it before, please let me know.
    Thanks again.

  • TS3408 I can no longer receive or send e-mail on Safari, or search using Bing.  When URL's are typed in and entered, there is no response.

    Safari is apparently frozen.  I can no longer receive or send e-mail on Safari, nor search using Bing.  When URL's are typed in and entered, there is no response.  Obviously, I can still use Firefox for these needs, but how do I get Safari back to work?

    I have the same issue - it worked once, then the error pop-ups keep coming asking for the same darn password I gave it and saved 100 times before. Anyone else find a solution? I use my earthlink for outgoing and that works but would rather use godaddy since I pay for it.

    What happens when you try to access the site? Can you access it from a different computer on the same network? Your profile says you have a Mac Pro, but you posted in the MacBook Pro area. If you have a MacBook Pro, can you access the site from another network, such as a public hotspot?

    There are only two things that you must do to connect a device to calendars:
    1)  In settings>icloud, you must log in, WITH THE CORRECT ID/PASSWORD, and
    2)  Turn on calendars on the same page.
    You said that the iphone 4 and ipad **used** to automatically sync.  Do they no long sync?

  • Adress bar search

    I need help to change my search engine on the adress bar. The problem is : When i write a word to adress bar to search on web my mozilla firefox 4.0 browser finds it with ' Open Dns ' .. How can i change it to google or any other adress ??

    If you are redirected to an Open DNS website then that means that you are using the Open DNS servers. Those servers do that by default if a DNS lookup fails and you will have to change to other DNS server if you want to change that behavior.

  • ZSH using a different PS1 depending on hostname? [SOLVED]

    TARDIS)
    hostcolor=blue
    CentzonTotochtin)
    hostcolor=cyan

    #PS1 thanks to Mikachu on irc.freenode.net #zsh
    /SOLVED
    A little background
    I've got around to setting up git in my home directory (leaving a '*' in ~/.git/info/exclude, and using 'git add -f $FILE') to make sure all my machines are using the same dotfiles, but I use a different PS1 based on what machine I'm using.  I'd love to have a single .zshrc I could drop into the git repo and use for all machines, as opposed to say, zsh evaluating a seperate '~/.PS1' I set up by hand on each machine.
    But getting to the point:
    My PS1 is this:
    PS1="%{$fg[cyan]%}%B%m%b%u%{$reset_color%}:%{$fg[green]%}%2~%{$fg[magenta]%}%%%{$reset_color%} "
    the only difference between the .zshrc on each machine is that the hostname is given a different color, so that the machine 'TARDIS' might have the hostname in PS1 as blue, machine 'Centzon' might have the hostname as cyan, and if the .zshrc is on any other host, the hostname in PS1 is just grey.  I'm not sure how to go about this with .zshrc, but here's a rough idea:
    eval hostname
    if hostname=TARDIS
    PS1="%{$fg[blue]%}%B%m%b%u%{$reset_color%}:%{$fg[green]%}%2~%{$fg[magenta]%}%%%{$reset_color%} "
    if hostname=Centzon
    PS1="%{$fg[cyan]%}%B%m%b%u%{$reset_color%}:%{$fg[green]%}%2~%{$fg[magenta]%}%%%{$reset_color%} "
    else
    PS1="%{$fg[grey]%}%B%m%b%u%{$reset_color%}:%{$fg[green]%}%2~%{$fg[magenta]%}%%%{$reset_color%} "
    Has anyone come up with something like this?  If not, how would I do something like this in ZSH?

    Well, there are different ways of achieving this.
    Solution 1:
    You can create a new output type which will be triggered and call a same driver program and the new smart form. I am sure you can customize as to what Purchasing document type will trigger which output type. Get in touch with someone in the function team to get this configured.
    Solution 2:
    No Customizing, let the configuration be the same, but in the driver program change the value of  "TNAPR-FONAM" immediately after the form entry_neu to the new form name based on the Purchasing document type.

  • I have been putting in a URL and yahoo snags it parses it to several words then gives me a search page... I use Google for search andf I want to go to the specific URL I entered... How do I block Yahoo from doing this crap?

    I use google for my search engine. I do not have any reference to Yahoo in my plugins or extensions on Firefox. Every time I enter a specific URL in the Firefox box, Yahoo comes up, has the full URL I entered to go directly to. It has the URL in the Yahoo search entry field and it parses the name to several words that make up the entire URL. Asks me if I only want the name I entered and lists every site that contains the words it parses... Yahoo is really screw up if it hijacks the browser. How do I prevent them from doing this...

    Hi,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • What is the best approach to render different images depending on the device?

    I have been looking around for a few days but I couldnt find a good way to render different image rendition, depending on the device.
    I have one* mobile site (from a desktop site blueprint). I use the mobileimage components in several places of the site. The problem is that some images need to be different (different resolutions and shape) depending on which device is trying to access the content.
    I want one image for ipad , and one image for iphone.
    Is there any solution for this, built-in CQ?
    I have tried reading about the DAM renditions... but the image component is not aware of them, and does not use them as far as I know.
    Any help with this is really appreciated
    Thanks!

    Hi Horacio,
    I'm not sure this will work, because I've never tried it.  Somewhere I read using BrowserMap you can achieve it.  Have you looked at  http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/mobile.html
    Thanks,

    Hi Murty,
    You need to create a View on the different field set which might be composed across different Tables. Once the view is created you need to create a Search Help using that View by selecting the fields that will come in the Help. Below is the step by step Documentation for the Search Help Creation.

    But after going through your statement, I have one concern. As you mentioned that you don't have any access for the calling FM in a Report Program, then I doubt whether you will have authorization for the Data Dictionary Object creation also. Just check the Roles and Authorization assigned to your user. You need the S_DEVELOP Authorization Object for any new create.
    Hope this helps.
