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.

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

Why freezes the Adress-Bar and the Search-Bar when I open a PDF in Firefox 4?

The Problem is, when I open a PDF in Firefox 4 (with the Adobe Reader 10 Plug-In) you cannot type anything in the adress-bar or in the Search-Bar! Also when i press the "back"-Button or open another Tab, the Adress-Bar and Search-Bar is frozen! When i press my Home Button and leave the PDF-Site it works fine again! Is this a problem of the Plug-In or a Firefox-Problem?
Greetings from Germany,
Patrick

It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader X Plug-in. Visit adobe.com to download and install Adobe Reader X (even if you already have it). I did this and it said "installing updated patch". Went back to Firefox to check and problem solved! :)
ps. did not need to disable any previous plug-in or even close Firefox.

How do I change the order of sites when typing in the adress bar?

I usually type "go" in the adress bar if I want to go to google, then it automatically finishes and I just click enter after "go", but lately another site has taken the place so when I click enter I come to the wrong site. I have not searched for this site more than google. How can I decide which one will be the automatic one? It's really annoying!

I think you can remove suggestions from the address bar by arrowing down to the unwanted site on the auto-suggest drop-down list and pressing Delete.
Make sure to arrow to another site or edit the address before pressing Enter or using Go, because that deleted URL will still be the address bar.
Does that work?

Adress bar without double click

Does anyone know how to select the entire text in the adress bar or google search box with just one click? In Safari 5 I have to click three times and couldn't find a way to change it. Thanks.

HI,
I didn't know "three" times was the trick to that! Thank you.
If there's a better way, I'm not aware of it. It would be nice if Safari on your Mac had the same Select All Copy/Paste as Safari on an iPhone.
Best thing to do is provide feedback here. http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Address bar search is not working

When I type keywords into the address bar, it used to return a list of google search results. Now, it returns "The address isn't valid". I know I can use the search bar to search google, but the ability to search keywords straight from the address bar is my number one favourite feature of Firefox and I want it back.
The problem started after I returned the keyword.URL setting in about:config to default after it was maliciously changed to some Russian search/spam site, which also added a bunch of useless links to my bookmarks bar. This is the second time this has happened, no idea how, but the first time I fixed it the address bar search started working again right away.
I have not installed any new plugins or add-ons recently.
I have checked that keyword.enabled is set to true, and keyword.URL is blank, which are the default settings. Are there any other settings that might have been changed/that I should change to make this work again?

You could try this add-on to see whether it cures it: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ SearchReset]
If not, you could use this for keyword.URL, which appears to be the default in Firefox 14 (just based on what I get running a search):

Safari address bar search behaviour

Hi,
I am a recent convert to the Mac platform and since moving over I have experienced a number of problems with Firefox. The most marked problem is very poor flash video (YouTube) performance i.e. choppy & stuttering playback until entire video has been loaded, but overall it is slow and sometimes hangs (spinning ball) for no apparent reason.
I have tried Safari and have found it's performance to be wonderful compared to Firefox, and there are no problems with flash video. However I have some issues with the address bar search behaviour and I am wondering whether this is normal or not.
In Firefox, when I type something into the address bar, search results from history and bookmarks appear. The same thing happens in Safari, but it seems the only way to get a bookmark to appear is to type the actual domain address, not the name of the bookmark. Also, if a bookmark has a subdomain other than www, then that must be typed otherwise the address won't appear.
For example, if I have a bookmark as follows:
Apple - Support - Discussions - Forum Home - http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
I can't bring that site up by typing apple, support or forum in the address bar, I have to type the subdomain name discussions in order for it to appear.
I am posting to ask whether this is normal behaviour and whether it can be changed so that address bar search can include the bookmark name as well as the domain name itself. Thanks for your help,

Yes, it's perfectly normal; and no, you can't change the behavior to recognize the page name of the actual URL. You can always send feedback to Apple and request that feature; they might actually do it sometime in the future. Use this URL:

go in your <forms-home>forms\server - directory. there is formsweb.cfg.
All the [default] - parameters are global. If you don't set a parameter in your own section, then the fallback-parameters are stored there.
at the end of the file you should write your own settings:
e.g.
# myConfig - this is an example for your own Config-Section
[myconfig]
form=myStartForm
imageBase=codeBase
splashScreen=no
separateframe=true
try it

If you use IE then you have to add the following code in HTMLbeforeform script.
<script>var windowHandle;function openWindowURL(URLString){windowHandle = window.open(URLString,"Forms","location=false,toolbar=false,resizable,scrollbars");windowHandle.focus();}function closeWindow(){if (windowHandle && !windowHandle.closed){windowHandle.close();}else{ }}</script>
If you other browser then
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('javascript:window.open("TARGET=_blank>'||your_URLl||'","","fullscreen=no,title= "daybreak reports",titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=yes");self.close()','_blank');
Hope this will help you to resovle the issue.

Ender not working in adress bar

adress bar does not work, neither with ender nor with mouse klik on right arrow

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Forms 9i - adress bar

Hello all ...
I have a big problem ... we want to develop some forms in forms 9i and to port on intranet. the problem is that on adress bar in internet explorer is apearing the database username&password. After some testes was working also from internet.
There is a way do not show in adress bar the username and database password ???
Thx a lot !
Ovidiu

Hi Ovidiu
to avoid displaying the username and password in the URL there are
few ways:
1. If all users are using the same database login, you could put this
information into the formsweb.cfg in $ORACLE_HOME/forms90/server
After this you will only see the named configuration in the adress bar.
2. If each user uses the private login, you don't have to supply any login information
in the formsweb.cfg file or in the starting URL. The forms-login-box will appear
at the beginn of the forms session.
3. If you are using MS-IE, you could hide the adress bar at all.
The condition for that is, that you call the forms application from an other
HTML-site. At this site you could use the JavaScrip command window.open()
to show the forms application in a other browser window. In the third
argument of window.open() you can configure the window to open.
example:
open("http://<your server>:<your port>/forms90/f90servlet?config=<your app>","Fenster1","dependent=no,width=1024,height=768,hotkeys=no,resizable=yes,left=0,top=0");
This will open a new window at the postion 0/0 with no tool bar/adress bar and without any browser menu.
With the option "pageTitle=" in formsweb.cfg you can control the text in the window header.
The same could work with Netscape, but I never tried it.
I hope this will help.

How to turn on the text suggestion in the adress bar?

Firefox doesn't give me any text suggestion when I type in the adress bar... It was working fine before the last update I believe...
How can I turn it back on?

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks

I upated to iOS 5 but I can't find reader in the adress bar

I updated to ios5 but I can't find reader in the adress bar. Does someone know were I can find or download reader.

Hi djurrefromthenetherlands, I was having the same issue but after some poking around realized
that "reader" only appears when viewing a single article on a web page.
It's not really a great feature of Safari for iOS 5 in MHO. I was expecting it to be more like an RSS
Reader of sorts, so I'm disappointed somewhat. Reading List is also just a glorified list of bookmarks.
I think getting a dedicated RSS App for Google Reader is a much better option.
